Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
I always wondered about Australian lobby cards of that era. I don't know what the printing process was (photo-litho?), but they looked more photographic than printed, with hand colouring. Does that sound right? Whereas lobby cards from the US were always printed, probably because they were mass produced. Australian lobby cards would have had a more limited distribution so I imagine the cards would have been produced in smaller quantities.
I don't have any early lobby cards so can't see if there are printing dots on them.

I'm curious to know what processes were used.

I have picked up a few collections in recent weeks that have daybills that I have never seen before. Here is one of them

THE C1 answer is certainly correct. Well done, Animal Crackers from 1930. Sorry I didn't realise that this was your plan.jayn_j said:Animal Crackers. Thought was to let others find it.
I viewed this film at a one night only screening in Canberra ACT in the 1970s. It wasn't screened in a conventional cinema and on 16mm. where it played to a packed enthusiastic audience.

I had the blue background Come Up Smiling daybill many moons ago, it was poorer than the above image, with the blank top roughly torn off.

Hopefully there may be some more long stashed hordes of posters unearthed.
