Description

Frankenstein (Realart, R-1951). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
It's been three years since we've offered this incredible half sheet, with its marvelous monster imagery alongside ghouls and gravediggers, all in a splendidly gangrene color palette. Realart acquired the reissue rights to the Universal Studios film library in 1948, and the studio insisted on creating new and exciting posters, with some surpassing the graphics found on the original campaigns. With widespread distribution and constant showings, the Realart paper for the top sci-fi/horror titles have been aggressively sought and collected for years. Boris Karloff is The Monster, with Colin Clive and Dwight Frye exhuming the corpses from which they will piece him together. This poster is by far the better of two Realart half sheet styles for the film. Touchup has corrected small tears that extend into the artwork, creasing, fold wear, and small chips and tears in the borders, resulting in an excellent display piece. Fine+ on Paper.
