Original Ingen rast, ingen ro (No Rest, No Peace) (Hobbs in a Hurry) Swedish Silent Film Poster, 1920, starring William Russell, Svenska Filmskompaniet
Description: Original Swedish film poster for Ingen rast, ingen ro (No Rest, No Peace, released in the United States as Hobbs in a Hurry), starring William Russell and distributed in Sweden by Svenska Filmskompaniet, Stockholm. Produced during the silent film era, a period from which comparatively few posters survive due to their ephemeral use and low survival rate. The design features a dynamic, forward-driving silhouette of the central figure, intersected by sweeping red graphic lines that emphasize motion and urgency, reflecting early modernist tendencies in Scandinavian poster design. Printed using period lithographic processes typical of Swedish production, the poster demonstrates the clarity of line and tonal contrast characteristic of high-quality stone lithography of the period. Professionally linen-backed and in very good condition, with prior fold lines stabilized and minor restoration visible in the upper right area, along with occasional printing marks inherent to the original production. Printer not identified.
