Important Added Info: Note that in 1924, a set of 40 Ross postcards were created that included scenes from both parts of this classic Fritz Lang movie (each is identified at the bottom as to which part it is from). There were six different series, with different 3-digit numbers at the bottom of each series. There a series showing 8 character portraits from part 1 of this movie and a series showing 5 character portraits from part 2. In addition, there were two series of 15 cards showing scenes from part 1 and two series of 12 cards showing scenes from part 2. We list them all under the title for both parts so that all of these cards can be found under the same entry in our auction history database, because we don't want to people to only see some of the cards when they look up one of the two separate movies (they have different names when you refer to just one of the movies). IN THE PAST, WE HAVE OFFERED A VERY FEW OF THESE ROSS POSTCARDS FROM THIS CLASSIC FRITZ LANG MOVIE. IN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS, WE HAVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE 40 DIFFERENT ROSS POSTCARDS, EACH IN THEIR OWN AUCTION Also note that this is a "country of origin" item for this German movie! Also note that in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany, it became a common practice to pass out 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" "Ross postcards" to the people who attended a movie. These were postcards that people could send through the mail (each had a picture of one of the movie's stars on it, and standard postcard markings on the other side). But these were also sent to theaters where the stars would make personal appearances, and members of the audience would get the stars to autograph them if they could, but of course, the cards themselves did not come autographed! Sometimes the theaters would cut four slits in the upper left of the front cover of the program for that movie and have the "Ross postcards" inserted into that area, so that the audience members would get the program and the card together! We imagine that theaters hoped that audience members would mail the postcards after they saw the movie to friends, telling them how much they enjoyed it, thus creating advertising for the movie. These are often called "Ross autograph cards" by collectors, because moviegoers did often obtain autographs on them. Ross postcards are quite collectible, signed or unsigned, but of course, they are worth far more signed. They are often quite rare, because most German paper of all kinds from before World War II was destroyed during the war, due to the massive paper shortages there at that time.
