    Description

    Son of Frankenstein (Universal, 1939). Fine+ on Paper. Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
    Heritage is proud to present a very scarce poster of which we have sold only one other copy previously. In 2007 we sold this same style half sheet for $89,625. This style 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 at 51 years of age. This poster is incredibly rare, and to date, we only know of two other copies. Well conserved, this rare and highly desirable half sheet once displayed pinholes, creasing, tears into the interior, and chips in the borders. Airbrushing has been applied to the borders, credits, and the title. A very rare and beautiful find.
