Matt Crandall has recently made me aware of an Italian fotobusta (above) from an early release of Walt Disney's live-action movie The Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men (1952).
The fotobusta/photobusta serves a similar purpose to the 'lobby card' found in other countries.
They are usually issued in a set, each showing a different image or scene from a film. They can be found in both portrait and landscape formats.
We now have a huge collection of film posters on this blog, issued during the various release dates of The Story of Robin Hood. But I think these lobby cards are also worth looking at.
The style and quality of this selection make me think they were produced during the early release dates of the film.
After seeing this wonderful film all those years ago, I would have loved to have owned these!
