An Original Vintage Trade Ad (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm]) (Learn More) The Wolf Man, the 1941 George Waggner Universal werewolf monster horror thriller (written by Curt Siodmak; about the son of a Welsh nobleman who returns to Wales after many years in America, and things start out well when he and his father reconcile, but then he meets a beautiful girl at a carnival, and a gypsy fortune teller sees the sign of a wolf on her palm, and soon after, she is bitten by a wolf, and the man tries to save her, but she is killed, and he manages to kill the wolf, but is bitten during the process, and later, the gypsy turns up dead, and the man is the primary suspect, and that is only the beginning of his massive problems!) starring Claude Rains, Warren William, Ralph Bellamy, Patric Knowles, Bela Lugosi (as Bela), Maria Ouspenskaya, Evelyn Ankers, and Lon Chaney Jr. (in the title role "as 'The Wolf Man'"/Lawrence Talbot). Note that this was the only classic 1940s original Universal monster (the others originated in the 1930s). Actually, however, there WAS a 1930s Universal werewolf before this, which was in 1935's "Werewolf of London", but Universal did not like the way Henry Hull's makeup looked in that movie, so they restarted the character in this movie, with completely different makeup! In addition, they had the great fortune to hire screenwriter Curt Siodmak to come up with an original screenplay, and unlike several past classic Universal horror movies, this was not based on a classic story, but instead was a Siodmak original, and it was brilliantly written and has been imitated countless times since!

Our consignor was sold it as a "mini window card", and he submitted it to "MPGrading", who said the paper was made in the 1940s. Given that it measures 8 1/2" x 11", we wonder if it couldn't be a trade ad, or perhaps a proof of a trade ad or poster. It is printed on a non-white paper stock that is heavier than that of one-sheets of this time, but not as heavy as window cards of this time. We really don't know what to make of this item, and we make no guarantees as to exactly what it is, so PLEASE only bid on it if you can accept its many uncertainties, and have read the above carefully. It certainly will display nicely on the new owner's wall, but you are taking your chances in purchasing it. Condition: very good. There are some faint smudges around the edges that may be within the printing. Otherwise, it is in nice condition (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
