    Description

    This is a vintage original 8 x 11 in. US herald from the classic teens silent film historical drama,
    THE FALL OF BABYLON
    , released in 1919 by D.W. Griffith Service and
    directed by D.W. Griffith
    . This example was never folded as was customary and is in near-fine condition with small random border nicks and 1.25 in. tear in the bottom half of the right border (when viewing the interior spread).
    In 1919, Griffith released both the "Modern Story from his 1916 masterpiece,
    Intolerance
    , as a stand-alone feature film entitled
    The Mother and the Law,
    and the "Babylonian Story" as
    The Fall of Babylo
    n. The ancient Babylonian story (539 BC) depicts the conflict between Prince Belshazzar of Babylon (Alfred Paget) and Cyrus the Great of Persia (George Siegmann). The fall of Babylon is a result of intolerance arising from a conflict between devotees of two rival Babylonian gods—Bel-Marduk and Ishtar.
