Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a scene card from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this lobby card! Also note that in the earliest days of lobby cards (mostly between 1915 and 1919), lobby sets were usually NINE cards. There were eight scene cards, and an additional "title card", that was REALLY a title card, because it normally just had text on it with the title of the movie and the credits, but no image. Some time at the end of the 1910s, studios realized they could print lobby cards on two half-sheet-sized sheets and then trim them into eight lobby cards, which saved a lot of money, and at that time they eliminated the title card and changed one of the scene cards into a modern day title card (with both image and credits), and the eight card lobby card has remained the standard to the present day. The title card offered here is one of those 1910s true title cards! Note that this lobby card has been trimmed and it now measures 10 1/2" x 14" [27 x 36 cm]. 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: very good. A tiny bit was trimmed from the top blank border, but otherwise, the card is in nice condition, especially considering its age. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
