Toni Morrison (source) BELOVED (1998) Lobby card set

Set of eight (8) vintage original 11 x 14″ (28 x 36 cm) lobby cards, USA. Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, dir: Jonathan Demme; Touchstone. Printed on a linen-textured paper stock which gives them an antiqued look. Overall fine.

Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison’s novels are a rich part of contemporary American literature, but represent a daunting task for any filmmaker looking to adapt them to the screen. Nonetheless, Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme threw himself into this complex project, with a top-rank cast that included Oprah Winfrey (who also served as one of the movie’s producers), Danny Glover and Thandie Newton.
