Raquel Torres vintage 7.5"x9.5" photo taken in the early 1930's with a facsimile signature. This photo was obtained from the files of The Exhibit Arcade Card Company.
The photo is double weight with a matte finish with borders. There are printing cropping instructions on the back. There is no sign of wear. Overall I rate this in mint condition.
This photo was used by Exhibit Supply Company to produce an arcade card in the 1930's. Exhibit was in business for over 50 years and produced arcade cards with celebrities and athletes. This is the actual photograph they used to send to the printers to have their cards produced. They placed crop marks on the back to have a specific portion used to produce their cards. It is believed that Exhibit was the first movie memorabilia which collectors would seek out to buy. These cards did not have any advertising and were targeted to fans at arcades, fairs and carnivals.
