It is possibly the rarest and the most beautiful horror posters ever.
It should achieve a very high price...can you imagine the condition of
this treasure? I would really love to see it in person...cannot make it
to Dallas this time around...I will bid on it.

Phil,
If I were a kid at the theater in 1932, this one too would have
probably scared the ever-livin’ thyit out of me!
The green skin and glowing eyes gets me every time!

I
thinks what Grey saying is. SCARE THE THYIT OUT OF THEATRE PATRONS?
Fabulous
poster that seems to blend elements of sideshow ballyhoo design with
film.

Black Cat One Sheet Style B
Rich,
My most sincere apologies.
I have always known Duotone to denote a two color image but in
reality, Todd is correct, in that this looks to be a three color image,
when in
fact is more like four or five colors when seen in person and was
obviously not
done to save money, as duotone was often for that purpose, but to scare
the
H___ of theater patrons! There could not be a more perfect
Halloween-like
image!
It is stupendous in person!

Duograph
(Duotone)
An image created by
the photo engraving process invented by Louis Levy in 1914. Two plates
of the
same image would be made with halftone patterns placed at different
angles. One
plate would print a black or dark color, and the second plate would
print a
lighter tint, often of the same color over it.
Grey,
I've come to expect very precise use of the
English language from you.
If you continue to cheapen this wonderful piece
by using the incorrect term I will bid no more than 100,000 of your
dollars!

Richard, It is a duotone and is a wonderful stone litho. As for
authenticity, it is completely unrestored and in amazing condition.
The provenance is impeccable.

It's stunning. Whereas the red and black Warners efforts
mostly are not.
Is duotone correct when it's stone-litho?
Dunno.
