Description

The Ten Commandments (Paramount, 1923). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.
For the first time, Heritage is thrilled to offer an exceedingly rare Style B one sheet from Cecil B. DeMille's first screen adaptation of the epic biblical account of Moses and the ten commandments. In this version, the clever DeMille chose to balance both historical and modern allegories, adding visual motifs for each commandment on each of the sets. Three decades later, DeMille would make this film again for his last directorial effort, casting Charlton Heston as the lead. Human angst and hardship fill this richly colored, stone litho poster with only a few minor imperfections such as pinholes in the corners, left edge wear, tears in the bottom border and center fold, fold and cross fold wear with small tears, a small chip and tear in the top horizontal fold. Style A is also offered in this auction. Fine+.
