British actor (1900–1937) who earned a place in film history for his performances as Dr. Henry Frankenstein in Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. Severe alcoholism hastened his death from tuberculosis at the age of 37. Very scarce 3.25 x 5.25 postcard photo of the actor as he appeared in the 1930 film Journey’s End, signed in fountain pen. Scattered silvering, primarily to edges, and mounting remnants to reverse, otherwise fine condition. Clive reprised his role in the film after a successful run as the main character in the Savoy Theatre’s production, which was directed by James Whale. Clive represents one of the most sought-after and elusive additions to any vintage horror collection. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
