This original and striking antique Swedish film poster promotes the 1924 Danish silent comedy Ole opfinders offer, released in Sweden under the title "Mor Annas malliga mjölnare" (roughly translated: Mother Anna’s Proud Miller). The film was directed by Lau Lauritzen, a central figure in early Nordic cinema, and is a significant example of the Scandinavian silent film tradition.
Notably, the film is associated with the beloved comedic duo Fyrtornet och Släpvagnen (known internationally as Pat & Patachon), who captivated audiences throughout the 1920s across Denmark, Sweden, and beyond.
The poster features expressive, stylized caricatures that perfectly capture the humor and charm of early Nordic comedy cinema. With bold typography and a minimalist palette, it reflects the visual sensibilities of the era.
In very good condition, particularly impressive given its age. This is a rare survivor from the silent film era—an exceptional piece of early Scandinavian film history and a collector’s gem for enthusiasts of vintage cinema, poster art, or Nordic culture.
