  • Tiger Shark is neat!
  • Sweet cards
  • That's it.  I'm not looking at this thread anymore!
  • Thinking about posting some more nice lobby cards with great border art, and as I have a lot of images I thought you could have a say in future postings. You could chose from any of the following groupings - Animals, art deco, aviation, beautiful ladies, caricatures, clever, comical, crime, dancing, exotic settings, group socialising, horror,inventive, money, nautical, outdoor scenery, sporting, sexy, trains, skylines, structures & wild west. Should be something there for everyone. Let me know if you have a preference?

  • I like horror and anything with aviation

    Hopefully you will like the above. Souls at Sea from 1937 and 8 Bells from 1935. I have some others as well.

  • Very cool! ....Ive a couple WWI lobbies that have ships on them....will dig them out today & post....
  •                                 In Which We Serve ( 1942 ). A film set in World War 11 that you should like this image of Mark.
  • Nice! Very good scene card as well. 
  • U-boat 29 ( Aka Spy in Black ) ( 1939 ). Nice ( trimmed ) scene card of U-Boat 29 with great border artwork for this world War 1 set film. Thought I would include the title card with the Spy In Black title appearing on it as well, as it has a lot happening on the card.                                            



  • Ive few lobbies, but here are a few that have nice border artwork. 



  • Nice cards Mark. Flying Cadets signed by Peppy Moran as well.


    On the subject of Flying Cadets I like this1941 title card.

  • Damn! I love my One Sheet!


    ....but that Title Card may actually serve the overall design better! Nice one!
  • Excellent Flying Cadets one sheet Mark.

    Some nudity, not necessarily appearing in the films that the lobby cards were produced for, that appeared on many pre-code lobby cards will be shown on my 'Pre Code Nudity' thread soon.

  • A few from me this week.








  • Two great crime genre lobby cards from Born Reckless ( 1930 ), directed by the legendary  John Ford. Great scenes and border art on display..


  • The Falcon And The Co-eds ( 1943 ). This card is just one of the many lobby cards produced by RKO for the Falcon film series that contain great border artwork.

    Sky Racket ( 1937 ). For Sven.

    By Whose Hand ? ( 1932 ).

    Minesweeper ( 1943 ). For Mark.


    Some great artwork here.

  • nice ones.

  • The Mexican in Buck Jones looks like Charles Bronson
  • Zoo in Budapest ( 1933 )

    The Brown Derby ( 1926 )

    Big Boy ( 1930 )

    For the animal lovers and others.

    really Nice.  The  Brown Derby has the better border, but Zoo in Budapest is really striking.

  • Nice, Lawrence! What makes them special is the card scene's themselves are wonderful!

    Thanks Mark. I try and select the best scenes available that go with the great border art. I will start another thread soon with lobby card sets only. All are great cards but some of them are fabulous. On some of the earlier sets there are completely different designed border art on varying numbers of the cards in the set, and all with great central scenes.
