THE LOST BATTALION

One Sheet (28" x 47"); Style A, Stone Litho
Very Fine Rolled
W.H. Productions, 1919

This exquisite U.S. "Style A" one-sheet poster, a stone lithograph, showcases the artwork of The Landlady (Mrs. Stuart Robinson) reading a letter from her son at the front to his "girl," The Stenographer (Helen Ferguson). Both women envision him in their thoughts, as suggested by his image behind them.

This beautiful stone lithograph poster is unrestored and exhibits slight waviness, minor stains, and discoloration along the borders, with small chips on the lower right edge.

The WWI-themed silent film war drama The Lost Battalion was released in 1919 by W.H. Productions and directed by Burton L. King. It is a 1919 war film about units of the 77th Infantry Division (the "Lost Battalion") penetrating deep into the Argonne Forest of France during World War I. It features Major Charles W. Whittlesey and a number of the actual soldiers from the 77th, who portrayed themselves in the film. The film was remade in 2001 by Russell Mulcahy.
