Both posters are housed in the Austrian National Museum/Bibliothek Film
Poster Collection and shown in the catalog that was published for the
1998 UFA Poster Exhibition. I wish they could produce such an
exhibition again showing posters from Faust, Dr. Mabuse, Metropolis,
Frau in Mond, Spione and many others again soon.....
Metropolis, both 187 X 126 cm and 141,5 X 95 cm size styles..one is for
the German and the other Austrian poster. The images are completely
different than the well known larger size posters. The Austrian Museum
also owns both style larger Metropolis posters without credit.
BTW, the Nibelungen poster is also in possession of the Austrian
National Bibliothek....possible the only known copy as well....
I am not certain if I will ever own these treasures....
