On the occasion of the premiere of the new Jannings film 'The Blue Angel', enlarged photos of scenes from the film were joined together as a photomontage and were placed at the entrance. Our photo shows one of the pictures, which is 14 square meters large. It attracted a lot of attention, as it was projected on a single transparent screen. Up to now photographic enlargements of this magnitude had only been done as single parts which were then put together." (translated from the German). The set scenes are of the film "Rasputin and the Empress" (1932) with John Barrymore and several unidentified UFA and Gaumont films. – Minimal traces of use, one with strong tear (backed) in lower edge and creases, otherwise in good condition.

In 1924, his biography on Gandhi, in which he described Gandhi as one of the greatest figures of 20th century, contributed to the Indian nonviolent leader's reputation. The two men were friendly towards each other and met in 1931. The Swiss photographer Rodolphe Schlemmer completed an apprenticeship as a photographer in Geneva. He then worked for several years with Fred Boissonnas, with whom he planned to open studios in St. Petersburg, Barcelona, Paris and Budapest.

He catered to an upscale clientele and maintained relationships with personalities from politics and culture, namely Romain Rolland, Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi.
