Rodney I actually started LAUGHING as I scrolled down the image gallery of Caligari posters at the absurdity that one film could have inspired so many brilliant posters. Just tremendous! Impossible for me to pick a favourite. Many thanks to Joern. Neil

Extraordinary design - of the mind-boggling examples shown, definitely in the top three! How many other films, I wonder, have such a uniformly brilliant set of poster designs?

To: [email protected] Joern That is a truly wondrous poster, and if there is any justice in the world you will receive an outrageous price for it! I would sure like to think a museum would purchase it and exhibit it for all the world to admire. Best of luck.

The poster is a true gem in that it is a German sheet from Berlin that has never been seen before. Only few original posters to the film are known to exist worldwide. In the last 20 years, only two Dr. Caligari posters have been offered for sale – both of them foreign sheets. The poster by Fritz Rotstadt has never appeared on the market and is the only German work known in addition to two posters by Ernst Ludwig Stahl and Otto Arpke. The poster will be offered with an auction reserve of $42,000 and an estimate of $100,000. > >A blog about the Caligari poster can be found at >http://posterconnection.wordpress.com/2012/10/10/the-cabinet-of-dr-calilgari-the-posters/ > >The November 3 sale also features a few Russian avant-garde film posters from the 1920s as well as a rare 1932 Ben Hur Austrian 3-sheet (lot 103) with stunning graphics and a 1924 German sheet for Intolerance (lot 105) > >For questions about this sale, please contact Joern Weigelt at PosterConnection via email or at www.posterconnection.com. > >Joern Weigelt >------------------- >PosterConnection, Inc. >43 Regency Drive >Clayton, CA 94517-1726 >Phone (925) 673-3343 Fax (925) 673-3355 >Email [email protected] >Member of the International Vintage Poster Dealers Association > > >Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com >___________________________________________________________________ >How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List >Send a message addressed to: [email protected] >In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L >The author of this message is solely responsible for its content. > -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 26 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
