EDITORS COMMENTS
Scenes from The Second Kiss, also known as The Ring of the Empress, is a captivating silent film directed by Erich Waschneck and released in 1930. The print showcases several poignant moments from this romantic drama, which starred the renowned Russian actors Iván Petrovich and Lil Dagover. The image captures the intensity of the second kiss between the two leads, their eyes locked in a passionate gaze as they lean in towards each other. The scene is set against a backdrop of opulence and grandeur, with ornate decor and luxurious fabrics adding to the sense of elegance and sophistication. The Ring of the Empress tells the story of a young man, Ivan (played by Petrovich), who falls in love with the Empress (Dagover) while working as a clown in her court. Despite their vastly different social standings, they are unable to resist the pull of their feelings for each other. The film is a visual feast of 1920s glamour and style, with its intricate costumes, stunning sets, and lively jazz music. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of love, even in the face of societal expectations and convention. It is a poignant reminder of the golden age of silent films and the magical world they created, transporting audiences to another time and place. The image is taken from the Illustrierter Film-Kurier, a German film magazine from November 11, 1928, which provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of this beautiful and timeless film.
