ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT

Three Sheet (41" x 78")
Very Fine- on Linen
Universal, 1930

This rare poster, featuring the one-sheet image on the book, has been expertly preserved on linen. The white border around the poster has been airbrushed, yet the artwork remained fully intact, as did the entire poster. There is a quarter-sized chip in the 'E' of the title "QUIET."

"All Quiet on the Western Front," the 1930 film adaptation of the 1929 novel by German author Erich Maria Remarque, a veteran of the Great War, is hailed as one of the most powerful anti-war films ever made. It starkly portrays the pointlessness and futility of war through the perspective of young German soldiers enduring the terrors of trench warfare. The film, nominated for four Academy Awards and won two for Best Film and Best Director, remains as incisive and moving today as it was nearly a century ago, sharply conveying the shocking inhumanity of the conflict.
