Description

It's a Wonderful Life (RKO, 1946). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Although this film - about a good-hearted man (Jimmy Stewart) given a chance to see what the world would be like without him - was a box office failure upon its initial release, its lapse into the public domain in 1973 and its subsequent adoption as a television holiday favorite has made it one of the most beloved movies of all time. This particular card bears a special significance, as it was once in the personal collection of director Frank Capra; a copy of a letter from Frank Capra III, the famed director's grandson, attesting to this fact is included with this lot. The card shows some paper tape and some minor paper loss on the reverse, edge wear in the bottom border, small inkspots in the top border and on Stewart's cheek, and a scratch on Stewart's chin and by the hands at the bottom of the image. Aside from these slight flaws, this card is extremely attractive and presentable, a unique piece of Hollywood memorabilia that any collector will be proud to own. Fine+.
