Description

Frankenstein (Universal, 1931). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14"). James Whale created a legend when he cast a virtual unknown, Boris Karloff, to portray the Monster in the cinematic version of Mary Shelley's classic horror story. Colin Clive was fantastic as Dr. Frankenstein and Dwight Frye will always be remembered as his lab assistant Fritz. To date, we know of at least ten copies of this title card in existence, but rarely do they have colors as vivid and bold as this example. The last time one of these title cards was offered at public auction was in 1990 so don't miss this opportunity to acquire this icon of the silver screen. The card shows some light foxing along the left border and some minor creasing in the lower corners. There were two pinholes in the lower right corner, three in the lower left corner, four in the upper left corner, and six in the upper right corner. All of these have been repaired and the card is now very presentable. Very Fine.
