An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Jumbo Lobby Card (LC; measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 cm]) (Learn More) Erich von Stroheim's The Wedding March, the 1928 Erich von Stroheim Vienna Austria romantic marriage melodrama ("The man you love to hate as he appears in The Wedding March"; about an impoverished aristocrat who falls in love with a poor inn-keeper's daughter but he will not marry her because he wants to marry into a wealthy family) starring Erich von Stroheim, Fay Wray, George Fawcett, Maude George, George Nichols, Zasu Pitts, Hughie Mack, Matthew Betz, and Danny Hoy. Note that amazingly, von Stroheim originally planned to have this be a "set" of two films which would be shown on consecutive nights (The Wedding March would be shown on the first night, and then the audiences were expected to return on the second night, to see the second film, a sequel to the first, with the same actors, called "The Honeymoon")! All of the footage for both films was shot but Stroheim's edit of the first film (The Wedding March) was over four hours long, and Paramount had it re-edited by someone else. Then, after The Wedding March received poor reviews and low box office totals, the sequel (The Honeymoon) was only released in Europe and South America, and movie paper from it is beyond rare!

This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card was folded across the middle, and it had some small creases and scuffs around the edges, and diagonal creases in the top left corner. Overall, the lobby card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that there is something on the woman's cheek at center. We don't know if she had that in the movie, but it is definitely in the printing, and we have seen a different example of this jumbo lobby card, and that had the exact same image. Looking closely at it, it looks like she might be smoking a cigar, which would explain the way the other two are looking at her! Learn More about condition grades
