Valfångare - (Whalers) 1939

This is an authentic 1939 Swedish movie poster for Valfångare (Whalers), issued by Svenska Filmkompaniet. The film stars Tutta Rolf and Allan Bohlin, with direction by Anders Henrikson, and tells a dramatic story set against the harsh life of whalers in the Arctic seas.

The poster was designed by the renowned Swedish illustrator Eric Rohman, whose bold graphic style defined Scandinavian poster art of the 1930s. The composition features striking portraits in icy blues: a rugged whaler in fur clothing, a silhouetted figure at the harpoon, and the dramatic profile of Tutta Rolf, all set against a backdrop of snowy mountains and the open sea.

Now over 80 years old, this poster survives in good condition, showing only light age wear, a tear at the top, and some minor handling marks. The colors remain vivid and strong. Professionally framed, it would make a stunning display piece and is a highly collectible work for admirers of Swedish cinema, Arctic adventure themes, or Eric Rohman’s iconic poster designs.
