Auction History Result 7p205 PAA JAGT EFTER LYKKEN linen Danish 1930s different art of Charlie Chaplin from The Fireman! Date Sold 6/20/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Danish Movie Poster (measures 25 1/4" x 36" [64 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Paa Jagt Efter Lykken (literally translates to "In the Pursuit of Happiness"), the 1930s (likely 1931) Danish compilation of Charlie Chaplin silent comedy shorts. The posters mention "9 acts" and we would imagine that it had nine Chaplin shorts. We have seen images of a Danish program for the compilation which mentions co-stars Edna Purviance and Eric Campbell, and featured an image from the 1916 short Behind the Screen. There appear to be two Danish posters for the compilation, a "regular" poster that features art of Charlie as The Tramp, and a "deluxe" version which features art of Charlie from the 1916 short The Fireman. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that after searching Chaplin's Mutual films, we have discovered that the art on this poster shows Chaplin in The Fireman. We consulted with Danish poster experts, and have been told that "Kosmofilm" (in the lower left of the poster), was a company that was in business from 1926 to 1947. Further, the printer Chr.Cato changed their name to Recato in 1933. Therefore, this poster is surely from between 1926 and 1933.

Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
