Vintage Merna Kennedy Photo Postcard - Colourgraph Series No. C 21 - Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Step back into the silent and early sound era of Hollywood with this charming vintage photo postcard featuring the beautiful actress, Merna Kennedy!
This is an original postcard from the "Colourgraph Series," numbered C 21, showcasing a delightful hand-coloured portrait of Merna Kennedy. Kennedy is perhaps best known for her significant roles in early cinema, notably in films directed by Charlie Chaplin and as a rising star at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. This image captures her captivating smile and expressive eyes, enhanced by the artistic hand-colouring which adds a unique touch to the photograph. While the studio is not explicitly stated on the front, her prominent work with MGM makes her strongly associated with them.
The reverse side confirms it's a "POST CARD" of "British Production" and, importantly, 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 method of the era that gives the card its distinctive and vivid character, setting it apart from 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 lovely decorative piece for any classic film enthusiast.
