This collection concentrates on films using events that happened before the 20th Century which are covered separately. Again fact and fiction were mixed, and few stood up to real examination historically. This was not important as above all the films were for entertainment more than education as general rule. History based films offered great opportunities for the filmmakers, and also for the designers of Posters enticing the paying public into the cinemas. This collection also shows how several films were presented in different countries, and the superb artwork that was invariaby used.
