Three Sheet (41" x 80"); Stone Lithograph ; The Collection of the Late J. Stephen Ryan
Very Fine on Linen
Lee-Bradford Corp., 1923

Printed on three panels and depicting stunning stone lithograph artwork of Wanda Hawley and Nigel Barrie in an embrace above a shimmering London bridge at night, this poster was professionally linen-backed with only very minor restoration, which includes touch-up to just portions of the folds and crossfolds to address general wear and a small area of light paper loss, to a tear on the top of Hawley's arm that extends onto the top of her dress and spot touch-up to a few random areas to address small tears. The jet-black background makes the colors pop and creates a magnificent display in stone lithography.

"Lights of London" is a British silent film crime drama directed by Charles Calvert, starring Wanda Hawley, Nigel Barrie, and Warburton Gamble. Based on George Sims' 1881 stage melodrama, "The Lights o' London," the film was produced at Lime Grove Studios and tells the story of a wealthy heir who is framed by his cousin and sent to prison.

Estimate: $500 - 1,000
