Important Added Info: Note that these cards were made at a time when many cards were being hand colored. In the days immediately following World War I, there were a huge amount of returning veterans who could not find jobs, and labor was cheap and plentiful. This likely explains why the studios began hand-coloring lobby cards. This was incredibly time consuming, because it was done to every single card one by one. As economic conditions improved in the country, and as printing technology also improved, these methods of decorating cards vanished! Condition: good to very good. Both cards were hand-colored (see above). One is in nice condition with some minor border defects. On the other, the red paint used in the left of the card has gotten wet and "run" (one could have a restorer remove the red paint, and either have it re-painted or leave it). Please bear in mind this significant defect and look at our super-sized image because bidding on these cards. Learn More about condition grades
