Comparing three details. We can see that it is two women carrying the injured man into the inn. There's also the detail of the money exchange and a further detail , not already mentioned, showing the inn keeper's rather extravagant codpiece. All the details confirm that the stained glass and the engraving are pretty much identical in terms of the figures.

Me encanta la capacidad de Germaine Dulac para expresarse con imΓ‘genes incluso en sus tΓ­tulos menos conseguidos. En el serial Gossette (1923) nos da a entender cΓ³mo su protagonista pasΓ³ de ser un niΓ±o rico a caer en desgracia y tener que buscarse la vida solo travΓ©s de sus manos.

out on the deep - robert dinesen (1913)

struck once again how sophisticated (the lighting, the composition, the hero that does nothing heroic) these early 1910s danish films are (and how libidinous, hello again hot alf blΓΌtecher, with his impotent lighthouse)

Happy New Year's Eve, 1909 E6 of The 5 Best Films of Every Year Ever is live! Professor Paul Flaig wrote a great book on the Weimar Republic and Hollywood slapstick, and although we're of course dealing with an earlier period, he works in German and American (and French!) comedy, plus more.
