This is a 1949 Japanese movie pamphlet for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, issued by Nikkatsu Weekly. Boldly illustrated in vivid yellow and black, it features a striking split-image of the refined Dr. Jekyll and his monstrous alter ego looming in shadow behind — cane in hand, ready to unleash chaos.
A rare postwar Japanese cinema relic, this pamphlet captures the enduring fascination with Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of duality and repression, and reflects the era’s bold graphic design sensibilities. An evocative collectible from the golden age of imported Western horror in Japan.
