"The Wandering Jew" - Hand-Painted Poster - France
Le Juif errant, d'apres le roman d'Eugene Sue (8 episodes) [the Wansering Jew, after a novel by Eugene Sue (8 episodes)]. Hand-painted poster. [France, ca. 1926]. French.
Mixed media on paper.
On top of the poster appears the figure of the Wandering Jew and on the lower part - portraits of three French actors - Gabriel Gabrio in the role of Dagobert, Maurice Schutz as d'Aigrigny and Fournez-Goffard as Rodin. The three actors participated in the film "Wandering Jew" in 1926, and it is possible that this is a sketch for an advertising poster for this film.
