Dante Mystery Review 1930s

Dante Mystery Review 1930s

1930s

Dante looks straight out of the sheet with a sardonic half-smile, and a small red imp sits on his shoulder.

Adolph Friedländer's press in Hamburg printed the poster (printer's number 8952), by which time the press was run by Friedländer's sons. Dante was Harry August Jansen, born in Copenhagen, who toured the world with his own company after years with Howard Thurston. "Mystery Review" was the billing on this poster, issued well before his Sim Sala Bim revue reached Broadway in 1940.

On the poster

A close portrait of Dante fills the sheet from edge to edge. The small red winged imp perches against an olive-green ground. "DANTE" runs in large cream and yellow outlined block letters across a deep cobalt blue diagonal band, with "MYSTERY REVIEW" in yellow capitals beneath it. The colour field splits between crimson on the left and olive-green on the right.

Our restoration process

History has wrinkles. We have standards.

A century or two can be unkind to a poster. Folds, tears, stains, fading and the occasional indignity of terrible storage.

Each print begins with historic artwork, carefully restored using the latest digital tools and restoration techniques. Damage is addressed, colours refined and details recovered, while respecting the original composition, lettering and character.

The result? All the charm of the original, without having to live with its unfortunate accidents.

Paper and print details

Good art deserves good paper.

Each poster is printed to order using professional giclée printing techniques and archival pigment inks on 200gsm enhanced matte fine art paper.

The natural white, smooth matte finish reduces glare while bringing out rich colours and crisp detail. The inks are designed for excellent lightfastness, helping the artwork retain its colour for years to come.
