Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that the lobby cards from this movie all look like title cards, but there is a regular title card, which clearly is the title card, and this scene and the other six scenes are not title cards, but look like they could be. Also note that the artwork on this card is 100% surely the work of Al Hirschfeld (because you can see his printed signature at the bottom). He also did a full artwork one-sheet for this movie, but we don't know if he did the art on the lobby card with unsigned art, or if they are possibly the work of another artist (and if so, it is definitely someone drawing "in the Hirschfeld style"). BUT WE DO KNOW THIS CARD HAS HIRSCHFELD ART! If anyone knows for certain either way, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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: very good. There is slight darkening in the extreme outer edges of the blank borders. There is a 1" tear in the left of the top border, with some faint smudges and a few tiny tears around the edges. Since the defects are primarily in the blank borders (and at the edges of them, as well!), and since the tear is a clean tear that is easily mended from the reverse, we feel this card merits a "very good" rating since it can absolutely be displayed and enjoyed as it is (or of course, it would be simple for a talented restorer to repair the above defects). Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
