A chromolithograph and autotype sheet, 94 by 61 cm, published by Sovkino in Leningrad in an edition of 10,000 and printed at the Sokol typolithography. Friedrich Ermler's film is the great Soviet study of amnesia as history, and the poster trade around it was competitive enough that Sovkino commissioned more than one design. This is the Voronov version. The way flat printed colour is set against photographic autotype in the same sheet — two different technologies of image arguing on one surface. A man reassembled from pieces, advertised by a picture assembled the same way.

Before a size goes on sale, the file is measured against it: pixels per inch at that size, how much of the picture a crop would lose, tone and sharpness. A size that fails is not offered, so there is nothing to choose wrong.
