About the Item
Original Swedish movie poster: Hjärtats Begär, a.k.a. The Mistress of Shenstone and a.k.a The Heart's Desire. Archival linen backed in Grade A condition, printed in 1921. No damage or restoration on this 100-year-plus vintage lithograph printed in Stockholm, Sweden.
Step into cinematic history with this stunning original Swedish movie poster for “The Heart’s Desire” (“Hjärtats Begär”), dating from 1921. This rare piece captures the artistry and elegance of early 20th-century European film culture.
The 1921 Swedish movie poster "The Heart's Desire" (original title: "Hjärtats Begär") is associated with a film produced by Svenska Filmkompaniet and is most notably linked to the star Pauline Frederick. Frederick was a celebrated American actress of stage and screen, particularly prominent during the silent film era. The movie’s director is listed as Henry King, and another leading actor is Roy Stewart. While the detailed plot summaries remain hard to find due to the rarity of silent-era records, these films typically centered on dramatic romantic themes reflected in their titles.
Pauline Frederick (1883–1938) was renowned for her compelling portrayals of complex female characters, which contributed significantly to the film’s historical value. The poster you have represents not only a visually striking piece of early cinema advertising but also a connection to one of silent film’s legendary actresses, Pauline Frederick, making it all the more unique for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage film memorabilia. She was a celebrated American stage and screen actress. She was renowned for her portrayals of strong, complex women and was especially admired for her expressive face and ability to convey deep emotion—a vital skill in silent cinema.
Expertly linen-backed and preserved in excellent condition, the poster dazzles with vibrant colors and period graphics that remain as captivating now as when it first promoted the film over a century ago. Its impressive state makes it a perfect candidate for immediate display, whether you’re a film memorabilia collector, vintage design enthusiast, or seeking a dramatic artwork to elevate your interiors.

Original Vintage Movie Poster by Eric Rohman, Swedish, 1926
By Eric Rohman
Located in Devon, GB
Printed in stunning stone lithography, this extremely rare poster was designed by prolific poster artist Eric Rohman for the original Swedish release of the action-packed 1926 American silent comedy 'For Heaven's Sake,' starring Harold Lloyd - one of the biggest stars of the silent era. After several years at Pathé, Lloyd made his debut at Paramount with this delightful slapstick classic, in which his trademark go-getting 'glasses' character appears as Uptown Boy J. Harold Manners, a millionaire playboy who falls for a Downtown Girl. With a dazzling finale featuring a double-decker bus careering through the city streets, the comedy of thrills was one of Lloyd's most successful films and the 12th highest grossing film of the silent era.
Rohman's whimsical lunar poster design was inspired by a charming scene in which Harold woos his Downtown Girl (Jobyna Ralston) by the romantic light of a crescent moon - which is then revealed to be part of a neon sign for Crescent Laundry! Lushly printed in lapis blue, black and a contrasting orange, the enchanting Art Deco style artwork pictures the loved up...
