If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this 1951 re-release one-sheet, and two of those were 17 years ago and 21 years ago (the three sold for $4,759, $4,421, and $3,606)! Of course, since that time, prices on posters like these have risen drastically, and the first release Dracula one-sheet is now at least six figures, making this poster (with a completely different and really cool image) a really wonderful alternative!
