Description
Charming set of 2 vintage Jane Withers real photo postcards (RPPC), both featuring youthful portraits of the beloved Hollywood child star in beautifully hand-tinted colorized style. These British-issued “Art Photo” postcards were printed in Great Britain and capture Jane during her early rise as one of America’s most recognizable young actresses.
Both cards feature similar close-up portrait poses with Jane’s facsimile signature, though each carries a different series number (including visible No. 137 and differing reverse codes), making this a desirable paired set for collectors who appreciate subtle postcard variations and international film memorabilia.
One postcard remains unused, while the other contains a handwritten personal message on the reverse, adding authentic period charm and social history.
Fun Facts
Jane Withers became one of Shirley Temple’s biggest child-star contemporaries in the 1930s after famously playing the bratty Joy Smythe in Bright Eyes (1934). Her popularity quickly expanded internationally, leading to postcard and promotional merchandise like these British photo cards. Great Britain-issued film star postcards are especially collectible because they often featured unique artwork and overseas distribution not always seen in U.S. markets.
