An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Movie Photolobby (11x14; LCs; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) MGM's NEW The Prisoner of Zenda, the 1952 Richard Thorpe romantic adventure melodrama ("Never before on the screen in glorious Technicolor!"; "MGM's NEW The Prisoner of Zenda"; "First time in color by Technicolor"; "First time in Glorious Technicolor"; "For the first time - the great story of romance and adventure in glorious color by Technicolor!"; "Adaptation by Wells Root from the novel by Anthony Hope and the dramatization by Edward Rose") starring Stewart Granger, Deborah Kerr, Louis Calhern, Jane Greer, Lewis Stone, Robert Douglas, James Mason ("as Rupert of Hentzau"), and Robert Coote NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Stewart Granger! Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). Also note that on this classic movie, and on several other major releases of the 1950s, MGM issued two entirely different sets of lobby cards! One set was the kind that is regularly seen. The other kind was a "photolobby" set with glossier color scenes from the movie, most often entirely different from the other set, and sometimes the photolobbies were black and white photos that had been hand-colored prior to production. The photolobbies are at least as rare as the regular lobby cards! Note that in the 1930s and 1940s, MGM issued yet a third kind of color 11" x 14", called a "color glos" 11" x 14", but these were on a photo paper, whereas the 1950s photolobbies are on regular lobby card-like stock. Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1970s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items. Both we and our consignor feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity. Condition: very good to fine. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
