Date Sold 6/6/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, the 1939 Sidney Lanfield crime detective mystery thriller (based on the novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) starring Richard Greene, Basil Rathbone (as Sherlock Holmes), Wendy Barrie, Nigel Bruce (as Dr. Watson), Lionel Atwill, John Carradine, Barlowe Borland, Beryl Mercer, Morton Lowry, Ralph Forbes, and Eily Malyon. Note that this was the very first of the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies, produced by 20th Century-Fox. It was followed by a same year sequel, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", also from 20th Century-Fox. Fox did not make anymore of these, but in 1942, Universal bought the rights to the character and released "Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror" (which brought Holmes out of the Victorian age and into the present, which greatly reduced production costs), and they quickly turned out a number of sequels in what proved to be an extremely popular series. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. The card was "starch backed", which means that it was moistened with a special starch solution, attached to a backing, allowed to dry, and then the card had touch up while it was backed, and afterward, the backing was removed. This particular card had major staining scattered throughout and there were some areas of surface paper loss on the back (the card was in "fair" condition). The card was starch backed by a really talented professional and expert restoration was performed to the above defects, but because it had much staining throughout, it required quite a bit of paint touch up, and the restorer did not go overboard and repaint the entire card, and I feel that the restorer did a really good job under the circumstances, as it displays pretty well, although you can tell that it has a "restored look", and the restoration is somewhat noticeable, even from a reasonable viewing distance (but the card still completely looks and feels like an unrestored lobby card).
