Chaplin Som Greve (Chaplin as Count)

"Chaplin Som Greve (Chaplin as Count)". Charlie Chaplin. By Sven Brasch, 1918. Color linocut poster. 87 x 63.2 cm (34 1/4 x 24 7/8 in.): The movie industry, growing out of vaudeville and theatrical traditions that had always used poster advertising, adopted this medium as its primary form of promotion. Charlie Chaplin, one of the most versatile and talented figures of the early film industry, was a successful actor, writer, director, and producer. His screen image—the harassed but gallant Little Tramp who rarely lost his grip on his dignity, his derby, or his cane—had universal appeal.
