It was Sir John Lubbock who coined the terms ‘Neolithic’ and ‘Paleolithic’ to distinguish the later and earlier Stone Age periods. Ant behaviour, Bees, Wasps, and nature at all were also of Lubbock's interests. He was in his lifetime one of the best-known men in England. (a.o. Bank holiday came to be called ‘St. Lubbock's day’). He published some 25 books, over a 100 scientific papers, and gave lectures on subjects ranging from free trade to the forces that formed the Alps. His widely read books on the scenery of Switzerland and Britain were also fascinating treatises on geology by an expert. Essentially, Lubbock was a great public educator, perhaps the foremost of his time. (DSB).

Der Herr des Todes (The Master of Death) belongs to a series of productions made to order by one of Ufa’s subsidiaries in an attempt to fulfil the company’s contractual obligations under its ill-conceived “Parufamet-Agreement” with Paramount and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer of December 1925 (forcing the Germans to produce a minimum of 40 German films in order to be able to import at least 20 pictures from each of the two Hollywood majors) and another, separate deal with Carl Laemmle (under which Ufa agreed to present 50 Universal productions in their cinemas in return for a loan of $ 275.000). Steinhoff (who appears to have taken on the project at short notice) was no newcomer to Maxim Film, Ebner & Co., having previously worked on two scripts for the company, Die Fledermaus (Max Mack, 1922) and Der Mann im Sattel (Manfred Noa, 1925). Based on a novel by Karl Rosner. Image disp.
