MY BABY

Three Sheet (42" x 80"); Original Release, Stone Litho
Very Fine- on Linen
Biograph/General Film, 1912

Original-release posters from the early Biograph short films directed by D.W. Griffith are very scarce and sought-after and are even more rare in this larger format. This poster features "America's Sweetheart," Mary Pickford, whom Griffith discovered and who subsequently became his most important actress during his tenure with the Biograph Company.

This historic poster has been preserved on linen without any further touch-up or restoration. It exhibits some chipping along the borders, minor fold separation, and small chips within the image itself. Additionally, there is some ghosting in the title 'Biograph' due to the printing process. The poster, printed in three panels, displays magnificently.

D.W. Griffith's short melodrama tells the story of a father and his three daughters. The film stars Mary Pickford and a cast of notable actors including Henry B. Walthall, Lionel Barrymore, and Dorothy and Lillian Gish.
