One of the first Vampires on the screen, Musidora was the star of the French Film Les Vampyres in 1915. Her dark makeup, moody acting, and penchant for interesting clothes made her one of the foundational people in the evolution of the goth style

This is my hand drawn recreation of the classic poster for Louis Feuillade's 1915 french serial, "Les Vampires." I could not find a hi-res image of this poster online, so I did my best to recreate it from scratch, down to the artist's signature. My assumption is that the image must be in the public domain by now, as I have not seen it for sale anywhere, or even preserved digitally. Little is known about the original artist, other than that they worked in Europe around the turn of the century and simply signed their work as "Harford." The image is replicated three times, and must have been repeated by hand rather than reproduced mechanically because of the variations in the line widths.
