Description

The Mummy (Realart, R-1951). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Horror.
Originally conceived as a story about the famous French magician Cagliostro, who claimed to have lived for centuries, this film was later rewritten to take advantage of the current craze for all things Egyptian. Cast in the title role was rising horror star Boris Karloff, who had gained international renown the year before in Frankenstein (1931); this film solidified the actor's place as the reigning King of Horror. Offered here is an extremely attractive re-issue one sheet from this classic film. It had fold wear, pinholes in the corners, a chip in the top right corner, and a small hole in the bottom right corner, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. Paper from this picture is extremely scarce and highly desirable. Don't miss this opportunity to add this great piece to your collection. A poster graded Very Fine+ may still be on Linen, but this is the highest grade allowed for a poster in this state. Grades on all restored items are pre-restoration grades; Please see full-color, enlargeable image below for more details. Very Fine on Linen.
