Unlike lobby cards... i dont know if any specific number of photos
would have constituted or made up "a set," in the same manner as the
cards.
They all sound like various publicity shots... but the larger size of
the 15 photos is what sounds so intriguing, as well.
Are they (any/ all) marked with any kind on scribed production number
in either the lower left or right corner?

I've been photographing the photos previously described so that I
can show them to people. One thing I notice is that the one smaller
shot that I assumed was trimmed actually hasn't been cut at all.
It's just a smaller size than the rest. So, I'm wondering, how many
shots would have been in a complete set? Is it strange that there
are fourteen 15.5 x 19 inch photos and just one at 14 x 16.5
inches? In other words, is this a complete set? Also, the
additional 8 x 10 shots seem, as I said before, to be not so much
publicity stills as technical stills documenting Laughton's make-up
as Quasimodo. There are five of these--four are head shots from
different angles. One is a full-length shot of Laughton in costume,
standing on a his mark in chalk on the cathedral floor. There is a
sixth 8 x 10 of an unidentified (by me) actress (not O'Hara), full-
length, in costume. So, I have 21 photos in all--15 that appear to
be from the deluxe still set, one smaller one that is otherwise the
same sort of photo, and six 8 x 10 stills, as described.
I'll post photos of the entire set soon and put up a link to them
here.
But again, what would a full set have been, I wonder?
Thanks
Colin
