<p>[QUOTE="Jerry Coker, post: 3825018, member: 18802"]Hello, I recently picked up a packet of Hollywood B/W still photos from Warner Bros. that I was told were part of a larger collection of packets/photos. There are around 50 photos in this packet. Below is a photo of the packet (says "Major Productions From 1926-1945"), a photo of one of the pages indexing the photos within the packet & a photo of one of the photos. I've been trying to figure out who might have had these in their original collection. They look like film PR photos of the type that might have been sent to theaters, or elsewhere, but the photos have no advertising on the fronts or backs. I've seen other examples of many of the subjects online, so it appears they are photos that were occasionally made from the original negative, but I'm no photo expert. Was wondering if anyone can maybe help me figure out what these photos might have been intended for & who might have originally had possession of them, like maybe a WB photographer, WB PR person, WB studio exec? Any feedback appreciated. Thank you. PS: Forgot to mention the photo backs are all blank.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]317903[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]317904[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]317902[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
