Skakspilleren 1927 (The Chess Player)

This is a stunning, authentic stone lithograph silent movie poster designed by K. Wenzel in 1927 for the Danish screenings of the French film "Le Joueur d'échecs." The movie is an adaptation of the novel by Henry Dupuy-Mazuel.

"The Chess Player" (French: "Le Joueur d'échecs") is a 1927 French silent film directed by Raymond Bernard. It is a historical drama set in the late 18th century, during the Russian domination of Polish Lithuania, and incorporates elements from the story of the legendary chess-playing automaton, The Turk.

The poster, despite its age and wear, remains vibrant with rich colors. It features small tears, paper loss in the margins, pinholes, folds, and some dirt, but these imperfections add to its charm and authenticity. This captivating piece would make a striking addition to any film enthusiast's collection.
