Paramount, 1934

Marlene Dietrich is showcased in stunning period costumes in these two lobby cards from director Josef von Sternberg's lavish historical war drama/romance. Each card features beautifully composed images that highlight the film's stylized set designs and both are unrestored. The first card, which features Dietrich near an ornate candelabra, has a tide line in the upper left corner, two small tears on the right border (reinforced with tape on the back), and a tiny crease in the lower right corner. The second card, depicting Dietrich alongside Sam Jaffe and Louise Dresser, shows corner wear with tape on the back), and a small section of the lower right corner that had separated but has been reattached with tape. There is some sporadic wear along the borders. Both cards present beautifully and feature striking images of Dietrich.
