Mary Pickford - White - Poster / Lobby Photo / Photo - ca. 1914
This sepia-toned piece that has seen better days (though it does look much nicer in reality as every possible flaw has been accentuated by the camera) is bit of a mystery. I have never seen it before nor can I turn up any information about it. It is roughly lobbycard size (10.375" x 13.875 to be exact) and printed on paper with the reverse being blank. I assume it is a printed lobby photo -- the type of thing exhibitors could order from trade magazines -- to be displayed in a theatre to entice the public, but it could possibly be a "free" fan photo of sorts obtained from who knows where. In any event, ca. 1914 with an oft-used photo by White Studio. Do you know the story behind it?
