Metropolis Fritz Lang
Large lithograph recreation of the cult classic German movie poster for the expressionist science fiction film Metropolis released in 1927, directed by Fritz Lang with music by Gottfried Huppertz, and starring Brigitte Helm, Gustav Frohlich, Alfred Abel and Rudolf Klein-Rogge. Originally issued for the sci-fi film's Berlin release on 10 January 1927, this three sheet poster by Heinz Schulz Neudamm (1899-1969) features the classic futuristic Art Deco style image of Rotwang's robot looking out to the viewer in front of skyscrapers in the utopian city of Metropolis with the title above in stylised letters and the credit text below. A rare copy of the original 1927 poster was the most expensive poster sold at $1,200,000. This poster is one of the large size multi-piece posters printed in three sections by the S2 Art Group in 1997-2003 (the company uses refurbished 100 year old lithograph presses and creates stone slabs to print near perfect replicas of classic movie posters, printed in exactly the same way the original posters were printed). Large size. Printed in three parts on thick paper. Excellent condition.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
