U.S. LOBBY CARD MOVIE POSTERS
Lobby cards are no longer used in theaters in the U.S. and are rarely printed for today's films. They were introduced by movie studios in the early 1910's. The first lobby cards were produced using a brown and white rotogravure process. Some of the brown and white cards were hand painted creating “color” lobby cards. By the 1920's studios were using a photo gelatin/collotype process for printing their cards. Due to this process, these lobby cards look better when viewed up close than from a distance. As the name implies, these cards were placed around a theater's lobby to advertise the films showing at the theater. They were sometimes mounted on boards and displayed just outside the theaters near the box office. When displayed as a set, the lobby cards would give a pictorial synopsis of the film. Many lobby card sets were numbered so that they could be placed in sequence in the series. The title card was always first with the other cards numbered to follow. Not all lobby cards were numbered. These small posters are on card stock (usually 11” X 14” in a horizontal format) and are generally produced in sets of eight, intended for display in a theater's foyer or lobby. Lobby Cards have been issued in three different sizes and are normally issued in sets of 4, 8, 12 or 16, although a set of 8 is the most common. The three sizes are: 11” x14”; Mini 8” x 10” and Jumbo 14” x 17” although the 11” x 14” is the most common. A lobby set typically consists of one Title Card, a lobby card of special design usually depicting all key stars, listing credits and order intended to represent the entire film rather than a single scene; and seven Scene Cards, each depicting a scene from the movie. The Lobby Cards were shipped flat: never folded. They are popular with collectors because of their economical frame-able size, easy to handle and great colorful artwork.
