THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN

Authentic US lobby scene card. Boris Karloff, universal horror.***NOT RESTORED BY POSTER MOUNTAIN***

The edge of the lobby card under the microscope reveals a consistency of the materials which make up the body of the card.

Here we see a microscope image taken from the fine print at bottom right. We can clearly see the layer of airbrush paint in that area and beneath it we can see the analog print and fibrous paper which are consistent with those of known authentic lobby cards from this period.

Here we see a close up, microscope image of the monster's mouth. Both the print style and the fibrous paper are consistent that of an authentic lobby card.

The top left edge of the "T" in "THE" in the title area. The analog print and fibrous paper are both consistent with known authentic lobby cards

Here a microscope image taken from the upper left where the original, naked paper color in the interior graphic meets the light airbrushing in the border.
