Poster Information
The poster was hand-painted by the Swedish artist John Mauritz "Moje" Åslund, whose signature "ASLUND-" is visible in the bottom left corner. The artwork captures the sensationalist style typical of the era's promotional materials for African "darkest-Africa" expedition films, which often featured dramatic encounters between "Great White Hunters" and wildlife. |
