Photo-Drama of Creation Cards

debodun

These have scenes of Bible stories and are the size of large postcards. I did research them and they were made to accompany a slide show that was produced by the Watch Tower Society (a.k.a. Jehovah's Witnesses) about a hundred years ago. The show would tour the country and put on the presentation. If I remember correctly, these were in a box lot of items my parents brought home from an auction they attended (in the 1970s) and I kept these out because I though they were interesting.

If anyone is interested, here is additional information:

I assumed they are originals, some a fairly worn on the outside edges. Were repros ever made of them?

slimies

yes. reproduction post cards were made when they replayed the movie as it traveled around
