THE LOST WORLD Lobby Card Size 11x14 In Movie Poster 1925 Original Dinosaur Film
Welcome to the auction of a absolutely guaranteed original American theatrical distribution was in fine condition very rare American 11 by 14 inch first release 1925 lobby card of THE LOST WORLD . The top is the after restoration appearance , and the middle photo is the before appearance . The bottom photo is what was done to it after the work of the first restorer's questionable efforts . The card's hand coloring had been totally destroyed pretty much by the restorer careless work throughout the card , but it does look very nicely cleaned up quite a bit of course along the borders, etc.. but they for some reason have washed away the colors in there attempt to restore the card, even though I asked them just to clean up the smudging only where the watercolors had bled at the bottom where the sky clouds had . I guess this is a lesson in if your going to in this case "gel back" he called it , or paperback a card - you better understand apparently in that process the card gets wet? , why this wasn't explained to me I do not know , but I made it very, very clear I didn't want the watercolors ruined , and they did not mention the gel backing would ruin the colors even when I asked for the watercolors to remain intact several times nothing was said. I then gave the card to the best restorer in the country bar none JAIME MENDEZ who undid the damage considerably and repaired the very poor work of the first restorer the best he could, and the card currently appearance IS THE PHOTO AT THE TOP . The card looks very, very nice , but obviously I would of preferred to have had my instructions followed and not had it cleaned and repaired this much. I don't mind keeping the card as , I LOVE THIS CARD ! and am not interested in offering any discounts I just want to be completely forthright in it's history.
