| The picture below shows a larger view of this Unused ©1954 Woman of Rome Romance Drama Movie Ad Mat Mold. The ad mat is not dated but it is from 1954 when this movie was made. The original title was “LA ROMANA”. This is a mold in which lead is poured to create a thin metal negative image that is then mounted on a wooden block for printing. Advertising is no longer being made or printed like this. The ad mat is like a miniature 3-D poster and would look nice framed, or you could still use it and make print blocks. The print block would have been used to print on movie pages in newspapers, in magazines, or in the movie theater programs. It is made of a thick compressed paper board. The admat has an image of a scene with Gina Lollobrigida lying down. It is marked as follows: “JUST ONE BED AHEAD OF THE CENSORS”! - N.Y. DAILY MIRROR
“SHOULD TEACH THE GIRLS WHILE IT ENTICES THE BOYS!” - N.Y. POST
