An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

His Majesty, the American, the 1919 Joseph Henabery silent romantic slapstick comedy (about a wealthy New York City playboy who gets bored and goes to Mexico and fights bandits, and then goes to a tiny European country, where he discovers he is the heir to the throne of that country!) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Marjorie Daw, Frank Campeau, Sam Southern, and Jay Dwiggins. Note that this is the first film produced by United Artists, the studio formed in 1919 by Douglas Fairbanks Sr., his wife Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and D.W. Griffith!

Important Added Info: Note that there are three different kinds of lobby cards for this movie. They all look extremely similar as far as the images go, but in one kind, there is a company "Elco" credited in the bottom left of each photo. In a second kind, Elco is missing, but they are otherwise identical. In the third kind, Douglas Fairbanks' credit has moved to the top center of the card. We don't know if any of these three types of cards predate the others, and we don't know that anyone knows for sure. Please do not bid on this card unless you can accept this uncertainty. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has.

Condition: good to very good. There is some light staining scattered in the blank borders, but it has no effect on the central image area. Other than the staining, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! This is the sort of card that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the smudges and stains can be removed through chemical means, after which the card will look fantastic (although I think most collectors could happily display this great card on their wall just as it is).
