1983 US Snow White Lobby Cards

The 1983 Snow White lobbies feature a total of eight posters--seven scenes plus a title card. The 11" x 14" color prints have kind of a glossy-matte finish and are printed on paper not too unlike photo stock.




The original premiere year for the film, 1937, is represented in Roman numerals on the lower panel.

  1. I have always hated this poster it's a badly drawn badly put together mess in my opinion it looks to me as if the project was ordered at the last minute and done in five minutes! Just an awful mess in the opinion of this viewer! The typeface is a mess too!

    1. The illustration of SW with the Hag, Dwarfs, and Queen around her was also used in the earlier 1975 re-release. The typeface was completely different though.
