Wasted Love (Schmutziges Geld) (Richard Eichberg-Film GmbH, 1928), Anna May Wong 9.25" x 12" Original Lobby Photographs (5). Vintage original gelatin silver semi-gloss double-weight 9.25" x 12" country of origin lobby photographs (5) of Anna May Wong in costume as "Song", with Heinrich George in Wasted Love (Schmutziges Geld), with Eichberg Film and British International Pictures imprint on the negative. These rare stills are vivid survivors of Weimar cinema's twilight and luminous markers in the legacy of Anna May Wong-the first Chinese American movie star, whose brilliance transcended Hollywood's margins. Schmutziges Geld marked a decisive chapter in Wong's European sojourn, as a nightclub performer and migrant caught between illusion and survival, challenging the orientalist tropes that had constrained her in American film. Fine, with 3.5" corner crease and missing corner edge (1), missing corner tip and corner tip stress (2). Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions.
