![This Soviet film poster for the German 1927 movie "Die Symphonie der Grossstadt" ["Symphony of a Metropolis"], depicts a mechanical man composed of a head with a movie camera for one eye, a watch on his neck, with one arm typing on a typewriter and the other arm in the form of a pen. This figure is placed in front of a flat and tilted skyscraper. The title of the film, in red, runs diagonally along the lower edge while the movie credits in white parallel the diagonal building.](https://www.cooperhewitt.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/63541_54fcf635592d5203_b.jpg)
