If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that in the early 1930s, Film Weekly, one of the leading English movie magazines of that time, came up with a promotion where they sold sets of 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" postcard-like images from a then current movie (which they called "Filmshots") and they said "Film Weekly 'FILMSHOTS' Real Stills from Films" on the back of each. This was done from around 1932 to around 1935. We have never before been consigned one of these sets, and it is wonderful that the first one we have been consigned is from King Kong, and there are two wonderful special effects images in the set of 4 (see our images). Condition: very good. The cards must have been displayed in an album, because each has diagonal faint staining in each corner, and two have added faint staining down the left edge. But all of the staining in so faint that it is mostly only seen when the card is tilted to the light. See our images of the front and back of each. Learn More about condition grades
