László Muskovszky: Flower of the Wetland movie poster, 1942
126 x 95 cm. Fine, restored.

Poster of a romantic Hungarian movie from 1943. The movie is based on the short story written by Ferenc Herczeg. It tells the love story of a young gentry (played by Pál Jávor, one of the most celebrated Hungarian actors of the time) and the innocent flower-girl: the boy gets locked up due to a bill counterfeit. While he is in prison he changes a lot by following the life advices of a vicar. At the end, he marries his love as a smith, who completely left his former social class behind.
The poster follows the typical realist, monumental style of film posters in the 1920s and 30s. László Muskovszky was one of the most well-known masters of movie posters of the age.
