Description

Boris Karloff in "Frankenstein" (Universal, 1931). Photos (3) (8" X 10.25").
Vintage gelatin silver, single weight, glossy photos. Offered here are three excellent photos from this classic interpretation of Mary Shelley's novel, including an early make-up test shot for a design that was not ultimately utilized in the finished film, although it does show up in the film's promotional materials. Boris Karloff's legendary performance as the monster is the benchmark against which all similar performances are measured. Two photos have edge wear with small chips, pinholes, and small rust spots. The third photo is very clean with light surface wear. These awesome images are a must-have for fright film fans. Verso: Kilduff Studios stamp on one photo. Fine-.
