Description: Vintage original "country of origin" German Ross Verlag postcard from the classic German silent film production of FAUST, released in 1926 by UFA and directed by F.W. Murnau. The images depicts a close shot of Gretchen (Camilla Horn) as she kneels at the feet of her beloved mother (Frieda Richard) inside their family home. This unused "country of origin" postcard is in very fine- condition. Based upon the play by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the demon Mephisto (Emil Jannings) wagers with God that he can corrupt a mortal man's soul. The cast includes Gosta Ekman, Emil Jannings, Camilla Horn, Frida Richard, William Dieterle, Yvette Guilbert, Eric Barclay, Hanna Ralph, and Werner Fuetterer. Director F.W. Murnau wanted Lillian Gish to play Gretchen, but she insisted that the film be shot by her favorite cinematographer, Charles Rosher. Murnau instead cast newcomer Camilla Horn, whom he had met on the set of Tartuffe, where she was a double for Lil Dagover. Leni Riefenstahl applied for the female lead role, but was turned down.
