film poster question

[Charlotte Douglas]

No Jack, I should have mentioned that I had in mind (or imagined?) an older
woman  screaming in obvious panic.  Perhaps that is why I sort of associate
it with the events in the Battleship Potemkin.

Thanks anyway.

Charlotte



>Dear Charlotte,
>         Are you possibly thinking of Rodchenko's 1924/25 poster
>advertising books for LENGIZ?  It features a photo of a woman on the left
>shouting "Books" into a megaphone pointed to the right.  It's quite famous
>-- I've even seen post-Soviet advertising borrowing the design.  A 1924
>version of Rodchenko's design is in D.A. Shmarinov, ed., et al., "A.M
>Rodchenko, V.F. Stepanova," Moskva: Kniga, 1989, p. 102.  The more colorful
>1925 version -- the one most often reproduced -- is in, among other places,
>David Elliott, "Rodchenko and the Arts of Revolutionary Russia," NY:
>Pantheon, 1979, pp. 18-19.
>         Is this the poster you had in mind?
