The Star of Bethlehem, One-Sheet

Three kings ride toward the star.

What

A 1912 British poster for the Thanhouser film The Star of Bethlehem, a retelling of the events before the Nativity.

Why

Edwin Thanhouser and Charles J. Hite produced it with Florence La Badie, James Cruze and William Russell, and the film is now recorded as lost.

Notice

The star throws yellow rays across a navy disc, and the title loops in red as "STAR OF BETHLEHEM".

“Following the star”
