Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has a second horizontal fold at a slight diagonal to the regular one, and it is furthest away from the regular one in the center. There are creases along those two horizontal folds and in the area between them, and they are most noticeable in the monster's upper lip and cheeks. The theater that used this poster was not showing Bride of Frankenstein, and there was a snipe glued over that area. It was removed, but left tape stains at the left and right ends of the title and down the right of the tagline above it, and also in the center of the skull above the "K" of "KARLOFF". There are stains scattered in the blank borders, more so in the left of the bottom blank border. Obviously, the poster's defects described above can be corrected through restoration, but look at our super-sized image and bear the cost of restoration before bidding on this poster.
