Comedy Moral, Swedish Release

This lively Swedish poster promotes Moral, the film adaptation of Ludwig Thoma’s well known novel, starring the celebrated German actress Ellen Richter. Designed by the artist Rohman, the composition uses sharp caricature and bold color to capture the story’s satirical edge. Richter stands front and center in a glamorous red robe with fur trim, while a semicircle of judging male onlookers surrounds her, each drawn with exaggerated features that underscore the film’s critique of social hypocrisy. Richter was one of Germany’s most popular screen personalities during the silent era, known for strong, witty roles that pushed against conventional expectations for women on film. Her presence dominates the design, and Rohman’s crisp linework and confident color blocking show the influence of European poster modernism in the 1920s. Distributed in Sweden by Baltic Film Co., this original stone lithograph is a striking example of early Scandinavian film advertising. Its combination of satire, star power, and bright graphic style makes it a standout piece for collectors of silent cinema, Nordic poster design, or early twentieth century theatrical art.
