The Young Rajah Insert Card
I know, that title is a bit confusing; however, I found this photo many years ago and have it filed under movie herald's. It appears to be the art for a window card, whatever it is, it is a fantastic, colorful piece of rarely seen movie art from the 1922 film, "The Young Rajah." This film is known for very colorful memorabilia, often depicting missing scenes from the current copy of the film that exists. If this window card exists it would be quite valuable, the same would go for the movie herald due to the rarity. With that in mind, a movie herald pales in comparison to an actual poster, it's just that both would be very desirable. If anyone has any further insight or information, feel free to comment. All in all, a wonderful, artistic piece.
Update: Bob, who does a fantastic job of restoring photos, updated the Rajah Insert Card, see the photo below, thanks again Bob!

Brad what that is is called an "Insert Card" they measured 14x36" The artwork on this poster is same as the half sheet which is 22x28" The lobby cards are 11x14 and the one sheet is 27x41" It's not a herald or window ard. The window cards are 14x22" and always had a white top or bottom border for the theater to put the days/times of the film's showings. Rajah artwork is very very rare. I have the full lobby card set as well as half sheet. Once in a while a lobby card will show up but that is about it. Beautiful artwork that is sought by poster collectors!
ReplyDeleteGreat information, thanks for the update, I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI can confirm this is the inert poster, the original is hanging in the hall in my apartment. One of the best poster images, IMO. The half sheet is the same image and spectacular to see in person
ReplyDeleteWow! That is awesome! What a fantastic find, there seemed to be a wide selection of artwork for the posters and all of the media items from this film. Everything I have seen has been fantastic!
