Frankenstein, the classic 1931 James Whale Universal monster horror thriller ("The monster that terrorized the world!"; "The Man Who Made a Monster"; "Warning! The monster is loose!"; "Based upon the Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Story"; "Adapted by John L. Balderston from the play by Peggy Webling"; the first of the Universal "Frankenstein" movies, and regarded as one of the finer movies of any genre, in large part due to the marvelous acting of Boris Karloff, and the marvelous direction of James Whale!) starring Colin Clive (as Dr. Herbert V. Frankenstein), Boris Karloff (as the Frankenstein monster), Edward Van Sloan, Fredric Kerr, Mae Clarke, Dwight Frye (extremely memorable as Fritz), and John Boles

Important Added Info: Note that this is a poster from the "S2 Art Group". This company bought 100 year-old lithograph presses, and completely refurbished them, and recreated stone litho printing plates for classic movie posters, and then printed them on the 100 year-old presses, in exactly the same way the posters were originally printed (re-creating them down to the finest detail within the art, and even including the tiny writing from the bottom of the poster), and exactly 27" x 41"! In some ways they are better, because they are printed on a much higher quality paper (similar to that of a 30x40, but somewhat heavier, and not on a high-gloss coated stock, but a "flat" finish). These posters were printed a few at a time, and they retailed for $325 each, and I believe that the company is no longer creating new ones, although they still have a small stock of some or all of the ones they already created. If you have never seen one of these in person, you might think they are simply "a reproduction", but they really look incredible in person (I absolutely am not exaggerating about this!). Most of us could never hope to have the originals of most of these posters (which sells for between hundreds and thousands of dollars each, some tens of thousands!), and this recreation is certainly an attractive and affordable alternative! IMPORTANT! Note that the S2 Art Group also has a lower quality 24" x 36" series of recreations that retail for $49 each, but are NOT stone lithographs. The recreation offered here is the 27" x 41" size with ultra high quality printing. UPDATE! In 2009, an unscrupulous individual took a S2 recreation of a "Dracula" one-sheet, and had it somewhat "aged", and then had a restorer linenback the poster (restoring the defects they had just added, and adding slight changes to make it indistinguishable from the original!), and the resulting poster looked so wonderful that a major auction house put it on the cover of their catalog as a 1931 original, AND a leading restorer "certified" the doctored poster as a 1931 original! THAT'S HOW WONDERFUL THE QUALITY OF THESE POSTERS IS! Note that, while this poster can technically be rolled, we intend to send it to the high bidder in a flat package, because we fear that rolling it (especially rolling it too tightly) could lessen its condition (but we will roll it if the new owner insists, and if they accept the responsibility for doing so). Also note that this is a teaser one-sheet (note the complete lack of credits).

Note that when we have occasionally auctioned the fine S2 recreation posters, many people have mentioned to us that they would like to get ONE of them to display on their wall (especially the posters that sell for massive amounts of money, and which are out of reach for anyone but the wealthiest collectors). We have been consigned 16 of these S2 recreations (just about all of the classic horror ones that they did!), so this is a wonderful opportunity for those collectors to purchase one of these (and we assure you that these look even better in person than in our digital images, and many people think they look as good or better than the originals!).
