Here is an Original lobby card movie poster used to promote the original showing of this epic holiday classic back in 1946. Before the days of monopolized movie theaters (i.e. Showcase, Epic Cinemas) lobby cards were a very important promotional medium to entice theater goers with scenes of upcoming movies. Eight were produced in a set (seven scene cards and one title card) and were displayed in an illuminated showcase so people could get a teaser of the movie.
Original Lobby cards are 11x14” and made of a heavier paper (then one sheets). This card is in Excellent condition. Some minor professional repairs just to filled-in corner pinholes. The colors are extremely vivid and the vintage artwork is stunning.
It's a Wonderful Life (RKO, 1946). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
