Die Suffragette
A militant campaigner and a borzoi share a tall narrow sheet, and neither of them looks apologetic.
What
Ernst Deutsch-Dryden's 1913 poster for Urban Gad's Die Suffragette, a German feature made while the British suffrage campaign was at its most militant.
Why
German cinema took the suffrage movement as contemporary subject matter within months of the events themselves. The poster is evidence of how quickly the new medium metabolised politics — and of how it preferred to package that politics as a portrait rather than a cause.
Notice
The extreme vertical proportion, better than two to one, which forces the composition into a column and gives the dog a role it would not have in a wider format.
“A political movement, sold as a silhouette.”
