EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic artwork of "Frau im Mond" a groundbreaking science fiction film released in 1929. Directed by Austrian filmmaker Fritz Lang and based on a novel by his wife, this silent movie introduced the concept of rocket travel to the public, making it one of the earliest science fiction films ever made. Despite its historical significance, "Frau im Mond" did not achieve commercial success at the box office. The artwork depicted in this image represents a moon rocket, symbolizing the story told in the film. It beautifully captures the pioneering spirit and technological advancements of that era. The poster's European style adds an air of sophistication to this early adaptation of space exploration. Notably, Hermann Oberth, a German rocket pioneer, served as one of the film's consultants. His expertise undoubtedly contributed to bringing scientific accuracy and realism to this cinematic masterpiece. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration from 1929, we are transported back in time to witness humanity's fascination with space flight during the early 20th century. This print serves as a reminder of our enduring quest for knowledge about our solar system and beyond—a testament to human curiosity and imagination that continues to inspire us today.
