The first German publishers of film star postcards were Verlag Hermann Leiser, Photochemie, Rotophot with its Film Sterne series and NPG. NPG stands for Neue Photographische Gesellschaft (New Photographic Society). Between 1897 and 1921, NPG was located in the Siemensstrasse in Berlin. There, the 1200 employees produced thousands and thousands of postcards, photos and stereograms. The film star postcards are only a limited part of this enormous production. But what a delicious part!
