*Also note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them.*
Condition: Fine to Very Fine. There are a few tiny pinholes and a small missing corner in the top left blank margin. A small bump in the bottom border. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition! This is an impossibly rare lobby card!
GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER EXAMPLE IN BETTER CONDITION!!
