Notes: Notes: This set title translates to "The Making of German Cinematic Art, The Silent Film." There is also a separate set devoted to sound films. An album was issued with this set (Reemtsma album #10).

This set was issued in a series of 5 folders, two with cards measuring 5”x7”, and three with cards measuring 3 ¼” x 4 ¾”. The cards appear with the same assortment in each folder. The set inventory which consisted of the cards numbers were printed on each folder in orange type.

Offered to fans of the set was a 136 page paper bound book for which the cards were to be pasted. The front cover is ornate with gold embossing. A full color photo (4”x5”) was applied at the factory on the book's cover and can be found with several variations of cover choice. The page layout provided a detailed background biography of the movie and stars.

For horror lovers, Max Schreck, the star of “Nosferatu”, appears in the set as card #133. Fans of the movie “Metropolis” will find card #137, Alfred Abel and Rudolf Klein-Rogge and card #190, Brigitte Helm of interest.
