In the days of silent movie prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have lobby cards printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the cards one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each card is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match. Condition: very good. There are creases and small tears in the left blank borders of the card (repaired with clear tape from the back). There are creases and tears along the bottom blank border as well as minor creases, thumbtack holes, small tears, and smudges a Learn More about condition grades
