Elaine Havelock

The posters by Elaine Havelock depicting Hollywood stars from the 1920s and 1930s were published by Royal Screen Craft Inc, Los Angeles, in 1968, and combine two trends: psychedelic art and nostalgia for old Hollywood that emerged in the mid-60s. The series includes ten posters: The Marx Brothers, Clara Bow (the "It Girl"), Mae West & WC Fields, Laurel & Hardy, John Barrymore, Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Will Rogers, and Wallace Beery & Marie Dressler. No one seems to know about Elaine Havelock's career elsewhere, but her posters continue to find an audience among collectors.
