Lest We Forget 1919 French One-Sheet

This is a French One-Sheet (30.5"x 47") for the 1919 silent film N'Oublions Jamais (known in English as Lest We Forget),.

Lest We Forget, the 1918 Leonce Perret silent World War I (WWI) anti-Germany sinking-of-the-Lusitania espionage spy thriller (about the early part of World War I, and centered around the sinking of the Lusitania by a German U-boat) starring Rita Jolivet, Hamilton Revelle, L. Rogers Lytton, Kate Blancke, and Cliff Saum. Note that leading lady Rita Jolivet actually did survive the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, and that L. Rogers Lytton, who played the evil German officer, was actually a U.S. officer who was given leave to make this movie! Of course, this movie was made in order to stir up anti-German sentiment among the Allies and to get people more involved in supporting the war, and we are sure it accomplished that!

ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II (mostly only pre-war heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare). Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters!
