Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that we have not auctioned this great lobby card (with art that has Hirschfeld's signature printed below it) in 16 years! 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 are dabs of red paint in the background above the halo at top left. There are a few faint smudges in the borders and white background areas. Otherwise, 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 red paint at top left can be removed through chemical means, after which the card will look fantastic. Learn More about condition grades
