Description

(Realart, 1951) Original color 25.75 x 19.75 half sheet movie poster for Realart's 1951 re-release of Universal's classic Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff as the monster. The classic poster shows Karloff's iconic monstrous visage on the right side, looming in the background of the film's graveyard scene. The poster has been trimmed and laminated against a 28.5 x 22.5 wooden mount. Irreversibly laminated against the wooden plaque and in very good condition, with trimmed edges and two repaired tears (a five-inch tear at lower center, and a two-inch tear to the left edge). Provenance: From the collection of noted sci-fi writer Forrest J. Ackerman, Julien's, 2003.
