Metropolis

This is the first model of arguably the most beautiful poster ever designed by German graphic artist Heinz Schulz-Neudamm. The domestic German three-sheet for Fritz Lang’s silent masterpiece Metropolis from 1927.

Metropolis is a film full of spectacular imagery - the robot, the cityscape, the workers, and the machines all provide material for the promotional artists... selling the film to a contemporary audience. As a result, Metropolis has a good poster series, window cards, and lobby cards, the majority produced by Ufa and Paramount in association with the film's initial release during 1927-1928.
