An Unfolded S2 Re-Creation Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari (released in the U.S. in 1921 and in England in 1924 as "The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari"), the 1920 Robert Wiene German expressionism silent horror thriller ("A thrilling fantastic photo-play"; about a man who sleepwalks in a disturbing world and there is a mysterious Dr. Caligari who seems to be his arch enemy!) starring Werner Krauss (in the title role as Doctor Caligari), Conrad Veidt (as Cesare, the somnambulist), Friedrich Feher, Lil Dagover, and Hans Heinrich von Twardowski. Note that this movie is considered by many to be the first major horror movie ever. Much of the movie takes place within the dreams of the sleepwalker, and the sets are distorted to reflect his distorted mind (they were made of paper and the shadows were painted on to the paper!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is from the "S2 Art Group". This company bought 100-year-old lithograph presses, completely refurbished them, and created stone slabs that allowed them to make nearly perfect replicas of classic movie posters (and in some cases making a stone litho version of a poster that was not originally a stone litho!). They were printed in exactly the same way the posters were originally printed (re-creating them down to the finest detail within the art, and even including the tiny writing from the bottom of the poster). These posters were printed between 1997 and 2003, and were NOT printed when the movies were originally released. Each has super high quality reproduction on quality paper and most measure 27" x 41" (a very few measure smaller and those are clearly noted). (Learn More). IMPORTANT! Note that the S2 Art Group also had a lower quality 24" x 36" series of one-sheet re-creations that retailed for $49 each, but are NOT stone lithographs. The re-creation offered here one of the high quality re-creations this company did, and is a true stone lithograph. It will look incredible on the new owner's wall, and it will sell for a fraction of the cost of the first release poster with the same image. Finally, note that this S2 poster includes a certificate of authenticity from the S2 Art Group (see our images). This "S2 Re-Creation Movie Poster" is one of 49 S2 posters in eMoviePoster.com's April Major Auction. There are a total of 43 of the S2 one-sheet size posters, and 6 of the S2 three-sheet size posters. See above for more about how and when these posters were created. This represents a high percentage of all the S2 movie posters that were made, and most were obtained by our consignor when the posters were first created in the late 1990s and very early 2000s. This is a great opportunity to purchase any (or several) of these posters, which have wonderful printing quality and which look incredible on your wall, at a tiny fraction of the cost of the originals! Condition: fine. The S2 poster is in excellent condition and it displays quite well! Learn More about condition grades
