Condition B+: repaired tears and losses along vertical and horizontal folds and at edges; creases in margins and image. Mounted on Japan. The Stenberg Brothers revolutionized the concept of the movie poster in the 1920s with their innate sense of design and a technique of their own devising, whereby photos from movies were projected onto canvases and traced in order to create photomontages. Having been given total artistic freedom within the early years of the new Soviet state, they were the first to abandon the standard promotional technique of realistically depicting movie scenes on posters. This is one of their earlier posters. Eileen Sedgwick and William Desmond were silent screen stars who appeared in three movies together: Beasts of Paradise (1923); The Winking Idol (1926) and Strings of Steel (1926). Although these films have been lost to time, this is likely the earliest of them, as parts of the film are listed as being held in the Russian film archives.
