BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Mae West Klondike Annie Paramount Pictures Lobby Card and Photograph Collection This collection of Hollywood memorabilia features the iconic actress Mae West and includes a variety of promotional and personal-style items from the mid-20th century. The primary item is a color lobby card for the 1936 Paramount Pictures film Klondike Annie, starring Mae West and Victor McLaglen and directed by Raoul Walsh. The collection further includes a group of black-and-white and sepia-toned photographs, featuring studio portraits, glamour shots, a production still of West at a boxing ring, and a notable image of West dressed as the Statue of Liberty. Additionally, the lot contains a vintage photograph of a young girl in a gold-embossed paper folder and an aged color illustration of a woman in Edwardian-style dress. No documentation regarding ownership history or official studio authentication is provided.
