Moving Picture Sales Agency - Biograph Postcards - ca. 1910

Biograph Masterpiece “Ramona” postcard issued by UK’s Moving Pictures Sales Agency (AKA M.P. Sales Agency AKA MPSA.) This RPPC shows Mary and Henry Walthall as seen in the film directed by D.W. Griffith.  ca. 1910.

It can be assumed that the two postcards below, while not conclusively identified as being issued by MPSA,  were in all probability, likewise issued by the agency. While they are printed as opposed to being RPPC, the similarities in design, wording, etc. are undeniable and of course, the MPSA was the UK distributor of these Biograph titles.

Mary Pickford - Famous Players - J.D. Walker's World's Film - Photo by Marceau - Postcard - 1914


Mary Pickford portrait by Marceau. "Mary Pickford / Appearing exclusively in the Famous Playrers Film Company Productions." Considering this RPPC / postcard was printed in England, it's undoubtedly issued by J.D. Walker's World's Film despite not being explicitly noted. 1914.

Mary Pickford Warrens of Virginia - Rahmn Marceau Copyprint and Negative


Mary Pickford as Betty Warren in the Belasco production of The Warrens of Virginia (1907 - 1909.) The original photo was taken by Marceau but this happens to be a copyprint and negative taken by K.O. Rahmn. Reportedly from the Rahmn Estate, but was it? 

Not to be redundant, but written on verso seemingly in Mary's hand: "Mary Pickford as Betty Warren in David Belasco's production 'The Warrens of Virginia' written by William de Mill. (MP's age fourteen years.)"
