I just had a look at the Profiles in History listing for the Dracula one sheet (see below). The description has not changed. I havent seen anything as yet from Profiles in History that addresses any of the questions that have been raised. The auction is now just two weeks away. It would be good if they could comment on some of the issues. Here is the listing description as of today .....
(Universal, 1931) Bela Lugosi’s version of the iconic Bram Stoker novel is considered to be the definitive film adaptation. This incredibly rare 27 in. x 41 in. one-sheet style-B stone lithograph image of Dracula peering through a spider web with his hypnotic gaze is the quintessential poster for Tod Browning’s 1931 Universal horror film. Indeed, Universal chose this image as the cover for their Pressbook distributed to theatre owners to complement the film’s debut. This example is one of only three of this style known to exist. Another copy of this very poster is being offered publicly for $950,000! This poster is on linen possessing bold colors with slight touch up with colored pencil on fold lines and some restoration on the borders and title. Very fine. Comes with a full restoration report and COA from John Davis at Poster Mountain. $200000 - $250000 Sign up for my regular newsletter on movie memorabilia: http://www.moviemem.com/pages/page.php?mod=account&go=register Visit my Website: www.moviemem.com All About Australian posters: http://search.reviews.ebay.com/members/johnwr_W0QQuqtZg My eBay Store and Lisitngs: http://myworld.ebay.com/johnwr/ Exhibitions: http://www.moviemem.com/pages/page.php?page=15 JOHN REID VINTAGE MOVIE MEMORABILIA PO Box 92 Palm Beach Qld 4221 Australia Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
