American Lobby Card 11" x 14"


Lon Chaney, kmown as "the Man of a Thousand Faces", certainly put his skills to use when Universal cast his as the lead in their version of Victor Hugo's immortal classic. Along with his makeup, Chaney strapped a hump weighing 40 pounds on to his back, and wore a harness weighing another 30. The film is a legend and single-handedly started the entire Horror series of films that would become a staple at Universal Pictures. In the entire set of cards there are only two that feature Chaney as Quasimodo, and this is the better of the two, with Chaney being crowned the prince of fools. This card has very minor corner fraying and a small edge tear at center of top border that was profesionally airbrushed so that it is very well concealed. This card is as nice as one can expect to find from the original 1923 set.
