HI Folks. I have a 8 x10 still black and white from Dracula - the
mexican one
I am trying to verify its original for someone that is interested in it.
The still apears to be of art of the characters in the Film and says
Dracula on the still and
Universal so it has nothing on reverse side and the papaer apears to
be a oldere paper NOT Rc paper as used later
the paper almost has a slight texure when held sidways and has that aged
look on back.
I may have purchased this in a lot of vintage stills from a actors wife
that knew the Hollywood wax museum people and I have Hurrells and Bull
originals.
However since I had a divorce in 2000 I moved stuff several times and Im
not 100% sure as Ive bought many lots over the years,..
I had this in a sheet in a album , however I cannot verify in my mind
where i received it.
was this mexican one the bela Film?? or what year was it? also....
does anyone have one in a collection I can compare to??
Like Frietag or Fishler? I took some photos Ill be happy to share to
get imput.. also trying to determine
a fair value on the still....assuming its original. well I garentee its
from the 80s..:)
I basically have looked at stills I have from 30s and its on par with
them as far as look of paper etc....
well I just dont want anyone to get burnt on this... However I cant
believe someone would make stills
of the art in 80s however it wouldnt surprise me if they did . I have
seen stills of artwork in many press kits so I know they have done
stills like that for films.
This one has tested my skills to authenticate. Please helpso I can sell
this Puppy with confidence
A very well known person has expressed interest and I want to make him
feel comfortable.
thanks Mopo.
