Auction History Result 2s0136 LLOYDS OF LONDON mini WC 1936 Freddie Bartholomew, Madeleine Carroll & Tyrone Power, rare! Date Sold 8/7/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Mini Movie Window Card (WC; measures 8" x 14" [20 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Lloyds of London, the 1936 Henry King England finance banking insurance romantic historical biography (produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; about Jonathan Blake, the man who help found the famous English insurance firm, but the movie takes GREAT liberties with what really occurred, and only has the slightest connection to the real story!) starring Freddie Bartholomew (as the young Jonathan Blake; his role is fairly minor, but he still got top billing, reflective of how big a star he was at this time!), Madeleine Carroll, Guy Standing (billed as "Sir Guy Standing"), Tyrone Power Jr. (as Jonathan Blake; in his first big success, but he is fourth billed), C. Aubrey Smith, Virginia Field, George Sanders (low billed, in his first year of credits roles!), "and a Mammoth Cast". Note that Freddie Bartholomew was at the height of his career when this movie was made, and even though he only played the star of the movie as a youth in a short part of the movie, he was still given top billing! Also note that this movie had a brief release at the end of 1936 (no doubt to qualify for awards), but went into wide release of January of 1937, so some of the movie paper for it is dated 1936 and some of it is dated 1937, but it is all from the first release of the movie.

Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had its blank top trimmed off. It had a pinhole in each corner. It had a small stain in Power's forehead, and a few smudges scattered throughout. It was displayed, and the reds in the image (including in the flesh colored areas of the faces) faded noticeably. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. Someone paperbacked the card and replaced the blank top and did some restoration to the above defects, but did not address the fading, and you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
