Frankenstein (Universal, 1931)...

Description

Frankenstein (Universal, 1931) Herald (16.5" X 10.5" Unfolded). James Whale was given the assignment to film Mary Shelley's novel for the big screen and the result was... electrifying! Unknown actor Boris Karloff was given the pivotal role as the Monster and he made the part unique. To this day, seventy-four years after the film was released, Karloff's image is recognized around the world and although there have been many sequels and other adaptations, this remains the version all others are measured against. To say that the posters and lobby cards on this film are desirable is being modest. Everything associated with this legendary picture is prized more than any other film. This Herald is fantastic, as it is a miniature poster in its own right. It was originally folded in half (one extra time) and has a few pinholes in the background and the monsters chest. The lower left corner was torn off at one time but has been reattached. Fine+ condition.
