LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT

Lobby Card (11" x 14")
Fine+
MGM , 1927

This card is considered the best scene card from the set as it is the only one showing Lon Chaney Sr. in his vampire makeup.

The card has some airbrushing to the borders, and there was a tear in the right border, which barely extended into the blue field around the photo image. The interior of this card is in excellent condition, and after professional restoration, the card appears near mint.

The film is considered one of the "holy grails" of lost cinema. Starring Lon Chaney, the "Man of a Thousand Faces," and directed by Tod Browning, who is most known for producing Dracula (1931) and Freaks (1932), the film is based on a script by Browning and depicts Chaney as a vampire.
