An Unselfish Love is an Edison Manufacturing Company film poster, and its title promises a story of sacrifice rather than spectacle, which was typical of the melodramas that filled early movie programs. Edison was one of the first American firms to make motion pictures commercially, and its studio output in the 1900s and 1910s ranged from short comedies to dramas. Posters like this one were printed to be pasted in theater lobbies and storefronts, where they competed with stage bills and newspaper ads to draw audiences into the nickelodeons of the period.
