Title Lobby Card and Scene Lobby Card (11" x 14")
Very Fine-
Warner Bros., 1939

Warner Bros. used a linen texture paper on their lobby cards, half sheets, and inserts, beginning in the mid-1930s until the start of the war. After the war began, they reissued some of the more well-known movies and, in so doing, printed them on matte stock paper. Thus, collectors have determined if their posters were pre-War or post-War by the paper stock. This is this classic film's rare and lovely linen stock, original release title lobby card, and scene lobby card.

The title card has been restored in this set of two linen finish cards, including airbrushing in the borders addressing a minor tiny tear in the center on the right border. There was also the previous chipping in the right corner and previous minor wear to all the corners now fixed. Post restoration, a two-inch tear in the lower center goes up into the title and credits that have been repaired with tape on the verso. The other card has also had some light restoration work, including airbrushing to pinholes in the corners and subtle airbrushing near the title in the background.

Bette Davis stars as Tudor queen Elizabeth I in this fictionalized historical romance about a doomed love affair between the monarch and the Earl of Essex (Errol Flynn). Michael Curtiz directed the film, which stars Olivia de Havilland as Lady Penelope Gray.
