Best known for the role of Sherlock Holmes in the film series in the late 1930s, Basil Rathbone’s acting career spanned Shakespeare to low-budget horror and actually included both at once in the Comedy of Terrors, where he recites every Shakespeare line related to dying. Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of Rathbone in a jacket and tie and holding a cigarette, signed in fountain pen, “Cordially, Basil Rathbone.” In very good condition, with tack holes to each corner and horizontal edge, vertical crease, and some scattered light spotting and soiling to background. PSA/DNA Auction LOA and R&R COA.
