Description

The Body Snatcher (RKO, 1945). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Boris Karloff had the uncanny acting ability to shed his true life mild mannered nature and conjure up a dramatically frightening persona with just a mere glance. Few artists have captured that ability better than William Rose, the painter of this one sheet done in ghoulish dark of midnight greens and yellows. Note the inset drawing at the bottom as Karloff drags a woman's body from the grave by the hair! There are pinholes in the corners, light edge wear with small tears at the folds, fold wear with crosspoint separations, and some tape on the folds on the verso. Fine/Very Fine.
