Ein Tag in der Opium-Höhle
Rare Early Cinema Poster, circa 1910
Weiner, Vienna

A rare and highly evocative early cinema poster dating to circa 1910, Ein Tag in der Opium-Höhle (“A Day in the Opium Den”) is a remarkable survival from the formative years of film advertising. Combining bold typography with a vivid and deeply theatrical composition, the poster draws the viewer into a dreamlike, decadent, and exoticised vision characteristic of pre-war popular imagery.

The sheet is dominated by its dramatic pictorial invention: hallucinated figures, floating daggers, a serpent-like female form, and opium-induced scenes unfolding within an imagined Oriental interior and landscape. Both visually arresting and psychologically charged, the composition embodies the sensational language of early cinema publicity, when posters were conceived to astonish, seduce, and provoke.

Exceptionally decorative and notably scarce, this poster stands as an important example of early twentieth-century film ephemera, prized for its strong graphic presence, unusual subject matter, and rich period atmosphere.

A rare and compelling work, attributed to Weiner, Vienna.

Ein Tag in der Opium-Höhle
Rare Early Cinema Poster, circa 1910
Weiner, Vienna

A rare early cinema poster of striking visual power, Ein Tag in der Opium-Höhle (“A Day in the Opium Den”) dates from around 1910 and is a remarkable example of pre-First World War film advertising. Its dramatic imagery — at once exotic, surreal, and theatrical — captures the sensational spirit of early cinema promotion. Both highly decorative and exceedingly uncommon, it is a notable survival from the earliest years of the medium.
