1949 - Stunning lobby card from this Wayne cavalry classic! 

 * See enlargeable images above and below.

Beautiful vintage lobby card with terrific image of John Wayne doing the "smell test" (alcohol) on Victor McLaglen. This has always been my favorite lobby card from this classic film with one of the best images of John Wayne.   Being only 42 at the time, they had to dye his hair with a grey streak, which makes this lobby card image of the Duke particularly striking 

These "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" lobby cards of a favorite among western, cavalry and John Wayne collectors with tier spectacular border art and striking colors.  We don't see many of these appear on the market.

 And with the spectacular border art by master artist Harold von Schmidt, makes these vintage cinematic treasures particularly collectible and desirable for the exclusive collector and irresistible home decor.

The artist for the border art was Harold von Schmidt, who was an illustrator for Saturday Evening Post.

Condition:  Very Good.  Has been paperbacked and has pinholes and minor staining on borders.  Hence, priced accordingly for less the half what a better condition card sells for.    *NOTE:  We just acquired another one of this lobby card, in Much better condition. 

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (RKO, 1949). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The team of director John Ford, actor John Wayne and the location of Monument Valley (John Ford Country), made for the best Westerns in cinematic history. Add to it the "John Ford Company" of actors including Victor McLaglen, John Agar, Harry Carey Jr., and Ben Johnson and you had the makings of a legend. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is the best of Ford's cavalry trilogy of films, and found John Wayne as a cavalry Captain on the edge of retirement, going out for one last patrol while a major Native American attack is imminent.
