Brief History of Movie Posters:

Over the years movie posters have been produced in various shapes and sizes. Before the 1980's and the demise of the small town movie theaters (as a result of the monopolization of the industry by companies like Showcase cinemas) also meant the extinction of all the breath-taking movie posters such as the lobby cards, window cards, insert, half sheets and the traffic-stopping 3, 6 and 24 sheets. The primary movie poster that survives today is the standard one sheet. Below is a glossary of the most popular vintage movie posters that once played a major role in the promotion and exhilarating anticipation of upcoming movie events.

One Sheet & Half Sheets:

The one sheet movie poster (27x41") is still used in theaters today. It is also (usually with exceptions) the most popular size for movie poster collectors. It is ideal for display yet not too intrusive like the three and six sheets (81x81"). The half sheet (22x28") primarily used prior to 1980 is rarely used today, but also highly collectible..

Lobby Card Movie Posters:

Lobby cards were used in U.S. theaters and are rarely produced for today's films. These small movie posters (11x14" printed on card stock) were generally produced in sets of eight, although the number of cards in a set can vary from as few as four to as many as 16.

These were smaller movie posters designed for display in a theater's lobby primarily for luring movie goers into the theater by showing highlights from the movie. A lobby card set entailed one Title Card (TC), a lobby card of usually designed similar to the one sheet with credits and feature/close-up artwork of the major stars, and seven Scene Cards (SC), each depicting a different scene from the movie.

There were certain lobby cards that realize premium values and cult status due to their particularly extraordinary artwork and/or rarity. For example, the Cary Grant "dust cropper" scene in North by Northwest or the Wicked Witch scene in the 1949 "Wizard of OZ" lobby cards in which it was the only OZ lobby card to feature the Witch. Lobby cards are highly desirable by not only collectors but also movie and history buffs.

Inserts and Window Card Movie Posters:

Inserts were also used in theater lobbies since around 1910 to early 1980s to promote movies. They are on heavier card stock and are 14x36". Window Cards are 14x22" are on heavy card stock and were used primarily in local businesses to promote local theater movies.

And, as you can see , the artwork on vintage movie posters was quite breath-taking!
