Description

The Light That Failed (Fimzine, 1949). Very Fine+ on Linen. Italian 4 - Fogli (55" X 78") Ercole Brini Artwork.
Ronald Colman portrays an artist attempting to complete a painting of London's most notorious prostitute (played by Ida Lupino) before he goes blind. She falls in love with him but the then current morality forbade their relationship. Frustrated and angry, Lupino destroys the painting, which the artist considered his masterwork. Prior to being linen-backed, there was only a minimal amount of wear. This is a first time offer of this magnificent poster by Ercole Brini.
