I talked to PIH....they confirmed that they are doing additional
research on the poster. This is all I was told.

Subject: [MOPO] Profiles in History
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 colo
red
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
