Description
Den Tysta Lögnen (The Silent Lie), Swedish one sheet, c. early 1920s, Paramount, starring David Powell and Mary Glynne
Original Swedish one sheet poster for Den Tysta Lögnen (The Silent Lie), a silent-era production released in Sweden by Paramount and starring David Powell and Mary Glynne. Produced during the silent film era, a period from which comparatively few posters survive due to their ephemeral use and low survival rate, the poster reflects the refined graphic sensibilities of early 1920s Scandinavian design. The composition presents a formally dressed male figure standing behind a seated female figure, rendered with restrained color and painterly shading against a bold turquoise field, emphasizing psychological tension and narrative suggestion. Printed using period lithographic processes typical of Swedish production, the poster demonstrates soft tonal transitions alongside defined line work characteristic of stone lithography. Printer not identified. Presented on archival linen backing, the poster is in very good condition, with expected signs of age including prior fold marks and careful restoration.
