The third item is a sepia-toned scene lobby card for the Universal Pictures film Measure of a Man (1924), starring William Desmond. The card depicts Desmond in a suit and fedora gesturing toward a woman in a garden setting. An inset box in the lower left corner provides production credits and identifies the film as a Universal Picture. Measurements: 11 inches by 14 inches each. Items are in original vintage condition with wear consistent with age and theatrical use. Front surfaces show general toning, yellowing, minor corner creases, and light surface wear. Edges exhibit bumping and small tears. The reverse sides show more significant foxing, yellowing, and staining. One card features a purple ink transfer on the back with a mirror image of the name Wm. Desmond from being stacked with other lobby cards.
