Abstract:
Postcard featuring a black and white image of a scene from the 1927 movie Metropolis, directed by Fritz Lang. Brigitte Helm starred as Maria, the leader of underground workers in a future dystopian society. The workers operate a vast machine, which supports the society of the rich above ground. Maria brings a group of children to see how the rich live. Later, she saves the children when her robotic double unleashes chaos on the city. In the image, Helm, wears a long dress, laced down the front and with a broad white collar. She stands in the middle of a group of young children, all dressed in dark clothing. She has her arms around those closest to her.
