Les Vampires Dribble large template

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. I've attempted to reproduce these variations as best I can.

Les Vampires was the inspiration for Olivier Assayas' 1996 film, "Irma Vep," starring Maggie Cheung and Jean-Pierre Léaud.
