Vintage Dorothy Lamour Photo Postcard - Colourgraph Series No. C 304 - Paramount Studios
Bring home a touch of exotic Hollywood glamour with this exquisite vintage photo postcard featuring the alluring star, Dorothy Lamour!
This is an original postcard from the "Colourgraph Series," numbered C 304, showcasing a stunning, hand-coloured portrait of Dorothy Lamour. Best known for her "Sarong Girl" image and her popular "Road to..." comedies with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, Lamour was a major box office draw during the Golden Age. This image beautifully captures her sophisticated charm, enhanced by the vibrant hand-colouring. The front of the postcard clearly states "DOROTHY LAMOUR" and "PARAMOUNT," indicating its association with the major Hollywood studio.
The reverse side confirms it's a "POST CARD" of "British Production" and, crucially, states "This is a Handcoloured Real Photograph." This means it's an actual photographic print that has been meticulously hand-tinted, a popular and artistic technique of the era that gives the card its unique and vibrant character, making it a cut above standard printed cards. It also includes "Colourgraph Series, 85, Long Acre, London, W.C." confirming its British publication.
This postcard is in excellent vintage condition, showing minimal signs of wear consistent with its age. It is unused, with the "Correspondence" and "Address to be written here" sections blank, making it an ideal collector's item or a beautiful decorative piece.
