*Love Before Breakfast* is a 1936 romantic comedy that paired Carole Lombard with Preston Foster, and this color poster presents the two stars as its selling point. Lombard was one of the most popular screen comedians of the mid-1930s, known for fast-talking, independent heroines in screwball pictures. The poster's publisher and printer are not recorded, and it is dated only to about 1936, so it likely served as promotional material for theaters or exhibitors. Its bright color and bold star billing reflect how studios marketed films during the Hollywood studio era.
