Lobby cards for How The West Was Won

I differentiate lobby cards from lobby photos - the cards seem to have been displayed either in the lobby or ourside along with the movie posters.
The lobby photos seemed to be more just for the lobby.  The cards also had the movie title in a larger type than the photos did.
Visit my Lobby Photos page to see those pictures that didn't get on this page.

It's interesting that all official lobby cards (at least the ones I've seen) come from the first four chapters of the movie. I have not found any lobby cards for the last chapter (The Outlaws). This supports the story that the movie was considered complete at the end of the Railroad chapter, and it was only Henry Hathaway that made the studio add on the final chapter, extending the story and length of the movie. But by that point I assume the marketing department had already created the lobby card set for release, and no further cards were created for the new chapter.
