What are your favorite silent era movie posters?
Here's a 1913 poster for the Biograph film An Indian's Loyalty starring Lillian Gish. Unfortunately it seems that its survival status is unknown.

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die...

And smoking! I say!!
Ok, I really love this one for Little Annie Rooney. I think it's the painted words and caricature on the fence. It's a poster design that I don't think would be out of place today.

And here I thought exposed ankles were pushing the envelope! (But ankles preferred to what? Wrists? )

Why do men have "wild oats" but she only has a single one?
