Important Added Info: 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. Also note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? 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: good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had been trimmed. It was 1/2" from the left border, 1 1/2" from the right border, and 1" from the top and bottom borders. There was also a tear running from the middle of Chaplin's face into his hair, and then running horizontally to the top of the girl's cap. Overall, the lobby card was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. A talented restorer replaced the missing areas around the edges and did restoration of the tear described above, but you can see signs of the restoration. Learn More about condition grades
