The World’s First Film Poster

The world's first film poster, for 1895's L'Arroseur Arrosé by Auguste Lumière and Louis Lumière

 

The poster realised as a sand sculpture

 

The Lumière brothers of France, Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas (1862-1954) and Louis Jean (1864-1948), were among the earliest filmmakers in history. Appropriately, "lumière" translates as "light" in English.
