This is an authentic 1925 Swedish movie poster for En Borttappad Hustru (translated as Lost a Wife), a Paramount production directed by William de Mille, the elder brother of famed director Cecil B. DeMille. The film stars Adolphe Menjou and Greta Nissen, both celebrated figures of the silent film era.
The poster was designed by the acclaimed Swedish illustrator Eric Rohman, who became renowned in the 1920s for his elegant and expressive hand-drawn portraits. This striking artwork features a captivating female face with bold blue eyes and red lips, rendered in Rohman’s signature style, paired with powerful red typography.
Printed in Sweden for the film’s release, this poster is a rare survivor from the silent film era, combining cinematic history with Scandinavian design heritage.
It remains in good condition, with only light folds and light wear consistent with age. Professionally framing it would highlight its elegance, making it a standout piece for collectors of vintage cinema posters, Paramount history, or Scandinavian poster art.
