CINE.phl | Photographic Stills Mounted on Lobby Cards
Certain lobby cards feature production stills which are often rehearsed tableaus or staged photographs, clicked after filming had been completed to highlight the finished film's dramatic highs. These were surrounded by fashionable typographic prints of titles, studios and credits in one or two languages, with composite graphic art to supplement the tone of the film. These publicity emphemera are thus a synthesis of the photographer, director and artist and occupy the intersection of lost narratives of art and cinema history.
