Bollywood Movies Cinema Stills & Collages

Art365 India

Lobby cards, as the name indicates, were used in displays in the lobbies of theatres. Produced in sets of 8 to 16, lobby cards depict key plots and characters.

Also known as show cards or cinema stills, lobby cards were produced in various formats. In some, publicity stills are directly printed onto a photographic or cardboard base; in others the photographic still is pasted onto the surface of the lobby card.

Owing to their small sizes, they were conducive for personal collecting by hobbyists, or storage in disused spaces in theatres and distribution offices. This is how they have resurfaced as collectibles in the 21st century.
