MGM glass title plate depicting the profile of its iconic lion. During the 1930s and 1940s, MGM used a unique process to create ''glass transparencies'' which are photographs on glass that measure 11.5'' x 14''. An image was created and the technical and artistic credits were superimposed over these images, creating ''title plates''. The images on these title plates would inform the audience of the film's theme and its stars. This particular plate was used at the end of a film, beneath the words ''THE END'', and can be seen in such classics as ''A Christmas Carol'', ''Babes in Arms'', ''The Shop Around the Corner'' and ''The Philadelphia Story''. Comes in framed presentation including 12 volt power supply which lights up the plate, making the piece an impressive display. Plate measures 11'' x 8'' with matte, frame measures 16'' x 13''. Near fine. With an LOA from original owner who was an MGM lighting technician.
