Notes: Checklist incomplete. This checklist covers cards that were given out at German movie theatres in the 1914-1915 time period. These are probably the earliest of all German-language cinema card issues. The title "Sammlung unserer Filmlieblinge" translates as "Collection of our Film Favourites", and appears on a few of the cards. Backs advertise local cinemas such as Imperial and Opern and list the forthcoming program. Not all stars are named and a few show film scenes. Cards are unnumbered and there was no album. In the checklist, the main film attraction is listed, along with the year. Interestingly, many of these cards must have been issued whilst the First World War was raging.
Thanks to Nick Bolton for help with this checklist.
