Lobby card border art
Last week, I mentioned that there were some cards I collected just for the border art. I bought all of these for low $$, many for opening bid.
Bruce and I had the exchange that when he mentions the cool border art, it is code for the fact that the card itself is a rotting woodchuck under the porch.
I collected the following cards strictly for the borders. They are all pre-ww2 and each has a certain charm. Some have cool art deco designs, some show action. I don't believe I have seen most of these films (exception is Northwest Passage). I'm not implying that there aren't more recent films out there that have border art that sucks you in. Perhaps some of you can reply with examples, and/or I can expand later in the thread. However, most of those that I see relate directly to the film. These seem to have a style of the time and mostly don't relate to the movie directly.

Yours are also in wonderful shape!
Heres a nice horse racing one!
For those who may not be aware Silks and saddles ( 1921 ) was an Australian made film. Released in the U.S. as Silks And Saddles as well as Queen O' The Turf.
Love your cards, Jay!
Great thread and some great example lobbies. I have few modern ones I can chuck into the mix when I have more time.

and a dozen more.
I feel especially bad about theBroadway Scandals card. Went cheap and I really loved it
I just noticed this artwork recently and love the border art on The Haunted House ( 1928 ). Actually love the whole card.
I spotted these two impressive cards today for the now lost film South Sea Rose from 1929. Thought I should share.
The Woman From Chicago ( 1930 ) is another wonderful lobby card with fantastic border art. Edward G. Robinson is the person at the back wall.
I have a lot more exceptional images of lobby card border art, from mainly the early 1930's. If anyone would like to see more images please let me know.
( Top ) Night World ( 1932 ) lobby card with Boris Karloff featured. ( Above ) Thought you may like to see this great theatrical cinema advertising for Night World.
I'll hang back from posting Jay, as I don't want to appear to be hi-jacking your thread.
