Hand-tinted Sarony and White Photo Cards - ca. 1915

These pieces seemingly belong to a series of nicely hand-tinted, oddly sized (4.625" x 6.5") photo cards featuring portraits by Sarony and White, ca. 1915. I do not have all too much information about them but I suspect they were produced by Kraus Mfg. Co. N.Y. as they're clearly quite similar to, and featuring the same portraits as several of their abundantly popular postcards. From Mary Pickford's Estate.

J. D. Walker's World Film / Famous Players / Hearts Adrift / Tess of the Storm Country / Photo by Sarony - Postcard - 1914

A very nice tinted postcard ca. 1914 advertising J. D. Walker's World Film (a British distributor of Famous Players Film Co. titles whose founder would go on to become the "Wal" in Walturdaw, which distributed First National titles) and Mary's films Hearts Adrift (1914) and Tess of the Storm Country (1914,) both directed by Edwin S. Porter. The photo is by Sarony and shows Mary in the same dress (but not vase, or anything else) that she wears in the opening shot of Tess '14.
