Vintage original 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph, very fine condition.

Considered one of the great masterworks of German silent cinema, DIE NIBELUNGEN: SIEGFRIED was produced in Germany in 1924 and directed by Fritz Lang. This vintage original still photograph was printed for the film's original U.S. release from the original German glass negative. The image depicts a group of men, some carrying torches, crossing the wooden drawbridge of King Gunther of Burgundy's castle while several of the men bear the weight of a coffin carrying the body of the slain Siegfried upon their shoulders. This vintage original still photograph is in very fine condition with no visible flaws. Rare.

Die Nibelungen is a duology of silent fantasy films created by Austrian director Fritz Lang in 1924--Die Nibelungen: Siegfried and Die Nibelungen: Kriemhild's Revenge. They were co-written by his then-wife Thea von Harbou, based upon the epic poem "Nibelungenlied," written around AD 1200.
