    Lobby card for Regeneration.
    The black and white lobby card features a still from the movie on the right side, depicting the body of a woman lying on a beach with a man standing over her. A decorative frame has been added around the top of the image. There is a quote about the movie underneath. It reads [“A GIRL, A MAN, CAST UPON / AN UNINHABITED ISLAND, A GARDEN / OF EDEN, THEN THE SERPENT—“]. On the left side is the text [The Norman Film Mfg. Co. / PRESENTS THE SUPER-FEATURE PHOTO-PLAY / "REGENERATION" / "A ROMANCE OF THE SOUTH SEAS"] followed by a list of the cast and other details about production. It also reads [LOVE – THRILLS – ROMANCE]. There is a thin black border around the contents of the lobby card. There is some slight discoloration and tearing on the lobby card. The back of the lobby card is blank. Some ink from the front side can be seen through the back.
