Why

A defining Doppelganger tale of Weimar cinema, in which a bargained-away reflection returns to stalk its owner.

Conservation note

Print produced from an AI-enhanced upscale (≈1.8×) of the surviving archival scan (original 953×715px). The upscale raises resolution only — the design is unaltered, and the paper’s folds and age are the artifact’s own.

Rights: CLEAR. Public domain — U.S. 95-year rule (poster published 1930 or earlier). Gated by the poster’s own publication year, never the film’s. Cleared by registry on 2026-07-18.
