Date Sold 12/31/2013Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 4 8x10 lobby cards. Note that the items in this lot are from the 1910s to the 1920s. Note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them. Also note that these are hand-colored lobby cards. In the days of silent movie prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have half-sheets printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the lobby cards one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each lobby card is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match. We do not provide a list of these cards, but there are images of all of them. Condition: good.
