BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN
AUTHENTIC US LOBBY CARD, universal horror, boris karloff, carl laemmle
Here is a close up shot taken from the "E" in the word "BRIDE" as it appears in the main title. We see here nice, fibrous paper with authentic analog printing.
Here, on the opposite side we see the Left side graphic. The naked, fibrous paper on the left is the lobby card border and on the right we see the analog print approximately 2 inches down from the top.
Here's a microscope image of the Right side graphic. The naked fibrous paper on the right of this image is the border of the lobby card. The blue color on the left is the image. This shot was taken about two inches down from the top.
Here's a close up shot of some physical damage in the area of the woman's dress as it appears on the lower right side. This damage is located about 1 inch above and slightly right of the letter "A". Here we can see the natural fibers of the paper below the surface (there is some restoration here) and the lovely analog printing that makes the orange color.
Here's a microscope image taken from the Doctor's big ol' forehead. We can clearly see the fibrous nature of the paper and solid analog printing which gives it it's flesh-tone appearance.
Here the word "ORIGIN" in the fine print at lower left. This is a marvelous example of an authentic, analog print on authentic paper. The imprint is sharp, and the paper is lighly toned with age and clearly fibrous.
As part of this report we have added our PMCS fingerprint tag on the back, the uniqueness of this imprint has been archived within this report.
