Windjammer: The Voyage of the Christian Radich

This vibrant 1959 Danish poster was created to promote the Copenhagen premiere of Windjammer at the Forum, one of the city’s most iconic venues. The screening marked a significant event, as the Forum was specially outfitted with a panoramic screen and 23 high-fidelity speakers to present the film in the immersive Cinemiracle format.

The artwork captures the spirit of the sea with a bold stylized illustration of the Christian Radich, the Norwegian full-rigged ship featured in the film. The clean, modernist design and striking color contrasts—sky blue, deep navy, white, and yellow—underscore the film’s grandeur and technological innovation.

Windjammer (1958) is a groundbreaking maritime documentary, chronicling a 17,500-nautical-mile voyage, and is historically notable as the only film shot in Cinemiracle—a widescreen format similar to Cinerama but even more ambitious in its fidelity and immersion.

This poster is in excellent condition and is a rare original from a landmark moment in cinematic and maritime history. A true collector's piece that appeals to fans of design, cinema, and nautical adventures alike.
