AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

An old movie poster illustrating the film "The Howling of the Wolves", based on a novel by Jack London. The visible side features an artistic composition typical of French posters from the 1970s, with vivid colors and hand-drawn illustrations. Three main characters are visible: a man wearing a fur-hooded parka, another character in a thick coat holding a raised stick, and a blonde woman in a medallion, all against a background of snowy landscapes and fir trees, enhancing the Nordic atmosphere of the work. A large wolf-like dog occupies the foreground.

The main inscriptions, in red and black letters, read: "LE HURLEMENT DES LOUPS". At the bottom right, it states: "d'après un roman de Jack London" (based on a novel by Jack London), followed by the names "Ron Ely", "Raimund Harmstorf", "Production Lisa-Film", and the "Eastmancolor" logo. At the top left, the poster bears the inscription "Les Films Marbeuf présentent" (Les Films Marbeuf presents).

The poster is printed on paper, with visible creases across the entire surface, indicating original folding into 8 parts, typical of French movie posters in the 120x160 cm format. The colors show beautiful intensity, with dominant blues, reds, oranges, and beiges, and an expressive pictorial style faithful to the promotional aesthetics of adventure films of that era.

The graphics highlight adventure and the spirit of the Great North, in line with Jack London's universe. No major defects are visible on the displayed side, apart from characteristic folding marks. No text or visuals are observable on the reverse or unexposed edges.

This original poster is a visual testament to 1970s adventure cinema and French advertising illustration.
