Description

Son of Frankenstein (Universal, 1939). Half Sheet (22" X 28"). This style half sheet is far superior to the other as the Monster towers over Basil Rathbone and Bela Lugosi. Boris Karloff, in his signature role as Frankenstein's Monster, appears twice on this incredible poster. This would be Karloff's last appearance in the role as, at 51 years of age, he was getting too old to deal with the eight hour make-up job by Jack Pierce. This poster is incredibly rare, and to date, we only know of one other copy. There were a few small chips in the borders, primarily at each corner, and some minor wear along the fold lines. The colors however, are quite bright, and the poster shows no fading whatsoever. It has been paper-backed and these minor defects have all been corrected so the poster now appears near mint. Fine on Paper.
