Description

Creature from the Black Lagoon (Universal International, 1954). Very Fine on Linen. One Sheet (27" X 41") Albert Kallis Artwork.
Director Jack Arnold terrified audiences with this prehistoric creature (an amphibious gill-man that came equipped with pulsating gills and fearsome webbed talons), who lived in a murky uncharted tributary of the Amazon. The last of the great Universal Monsters, and perhaps the best, the Creature was a tremendous success in its day and spawned two sequels. Lovely Kallis artwork with vibrant colors is present in this beautiful example. The only restoration other than minor fold touchup is a small chip from the lower right corner and a small repaired chip to the right of Julie Adam's arm. A gorgeous copy of a very scarce poster.
