Artist: Jochimsen Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a title card (27 years ago for $2,530!), a jumbo lobby card (24 years ago for $495), and some stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this scene card! 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. The card was attached to some kind of light brown paper backing, likely many years ago, and surely it was done before the card was folded down the center (which was likely done to use the card as a sheet music holder, something common in the silent days). There are tiny creases and scuffs along that fold. There was separation at the bottom 1/4" of the fold, and someone put clear tape over the front and back of that area. There is a faint 1" crease in the man's shoulder at middle left and a few faint smudges in the blank borders. The card can certainly be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one could choose to perform restoration. Learn More about condition grades
