Description

Extremely rare original color 24.75 x 37 Russian poster for the 1938 film Alexander Nevsky, directed by Sergei Eisenstein with an original score by Sergei Prokofiev. Archivally corner-mounted and framed to an overall size of 29 x 41.5. In fine condition, with smoothed folds and professional restorations to two small areas at the borders.

Alexander Nevsky was a revolutionary film, considered to be one of the greatest of its time, and the score stands among Prokofiev's finest work. It was Eisenstein's first film to use sound, and its poster is highly sought-after as a piece of cultural history.
