These are a few posters I came across for old Arabic films during the 60s and 70s. I thought it was really interesting to see since they look so different from the posters we are used to seeing of Hollywood movies. While those would mainly consist of highly enhanced photographs, these mainly use illustrations of the actors, and use a certain tone that hints towards the main plot of the story. You could draw certain conclusions about the styles of imagery as well as typography at that time.
These posters were mainly hung on walls in specific areas, especially advertised for people of the working class, as they were the most visitors of the cinema at the time.
