Judex

A caped avenger emerges from the shadows to right the serial's wrongs.

What

Leonetto Cappiello's affiche promoting the Le Petit Parisien serialisation of Feuillade's Judex.

Why

It paired Gaumont's cinema serial with the newspaper's mass readership through a master poster artist.

Notice

Cappiello's bold, poster-modern figure against a flat dramatic ground.
