The Thief of Bagdad, Half-Sheet

A rider on a winged horse over Bagdad.

What

A 1924 United Artists half-sheet by Anton Grot for The Thief of Bagdad, an American silent fantasy adventure.

Why

Raoul Walsh directed it from the One Thousand and One Nights, and the film was chosen for the National Film Registry in 1996.

Notice

The winged horse sweeps across a night sky of minarets, the title is drawn in pale outline capitals over the city, and Grot's signature sits small at the lower right.
