The three illustrated tableaus shown on this Mexican lobby card for 800 Leguas Por El Amazonas caught my eye; there's the crocodile-hugging man, a Diver Dan type casually holding onto the electric eel, and the poor fellow on the bottom right being hugged to death by a very large snake. Each is more cartoony than dramatic, but the style is noteworthy because it makes me want to see this adventure movie.
