Description

Faust (UFA, 1926). German Lobby Card (8.25" X 10.75").
Cinematic genius F. W. Murnau was one of Germany's most important directors during the 1920s. Best known as the director of Nosferatu (1922), he also filmed an early version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920) and the brilliant character study Der Letzte Mann (1924), as well as this, a stunning adaptation of the Faust legend. Gosta Ekman is Faust, an aged seeker of knowledge and pleasure who turns to dark forces to satisfy his longings. Emil Jannings is Mephisto, the demonic servant who answers Faust's summons. Offered here is a very rare original German lobby card from this landmark production, with a spectacular image of Ekman and Jannings. There is a chip in the upper right corner, creases in the top right corner, and bottom corner bumps. The white border has been trimmed all around. Verso: Faust stamp. Fine+.
