Chaplin 'Burlesque on Carmen', Swedish Poster, 1920
This Swedish linocut film poster promotes Burlesque on Carmen, Charlie Chaplin's 1915 satirical take on Georges Bizet’s famed opera. The minimalist design combines sharp geometric patterns with a playful depiction of Chaplin's iconic "Tramp" character, dressed in his signature bowler hat and oversized checkered trousers. The turquoise accents and bold typography reflect Scandinavian modernist aesthetics of the early 20th century, aligning with the simplicity and wit of the film itself.
Chaplin’s Burlesque on Carmen was a parody of a serious drama, created during his tenure at Essanay Studios, and reveals his knack for blending slapstick with cultural critique. By 1920, Chaplin’s fame had spread globally, with audiences eagerly consuming his works. Sweden, already a major force in early cinema, embraced his films, as seen in this elegant promotional piece. Posters like these, produced by Scandinavian printers such as Skandinaviska Tryckeriet, are now treasured for their artistic value, offering insight into how cinema and modernist design intersected in the inter-war period.
We've carefully remastered this print to make it available for you to enjoy. Our restoration process is detailed and precise but, because this artwork was never created digitally and no original digital file exists, some slight imperfections may remain when viewed up close, including some slightly blurred edges. To preserve its quality, we only offer it in sizes up to A2. Please do check the final product photo carefully and ensure you're happy before purchasing.
