“History is not about the facts. It is about the context and who is telling the story.” —Prof. Milton Fine. 

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past."   –– George Orwell in his novel "1984." 

"Whoever doubts the exclusive guilt of Germany for the Second World War destroys the foundation of post–war politics." ––  Prof. Theodor Eschenberg, Rector, the University of Tübingen.

"If we have our own why in life, we shall get along with almost any how."         –  Friedrich Nietzsche

"After the end of an inglorious era, there is always a certain tendency to eradicate and forget, to remove evidence and documents from this period from historical use. This is especially true for those interested in film history when attempting to present the history of German film during the Third Reich." –– from a PhD candidate's dissertation, 1954, Munich.

Der zerbrochene Krug

 

This severely damaged poster was won by us at auction in the USA against fierce bidding, despite the very poor condition. Poster collectors recognised a true classic Emil Jannings film, based on the famous von Kleist novel.  We purchased this poster because it was unlikely that we would find another. It has not, as is obvious, been restored. However, we have had it mounted on linen, which allowed all the small pieces and fragments to be pieced back together as well as could be expected under the circumstances. The overall appearance of this poster highlights the wear and tear and deterioration of lithographic posters through poor storage conditions, war, aging, yellowing, and drying out of the poster paper until it flakes off and disintegrates, unless rescued in time.
