About the Item

The Curse of Frankenstein (Frankenstein S'est Echappe), classic 1957 British horror by Hammer Film Productions, loosely based on the 1818 novel Frankenstein. This first-year-of-release French Grande film poster is a fantastic poster and features a hauntingly wonderful design by French artist Jean Mascii. Impossibly rare, the only copy we have ever come across. Jean Mascii (1926-2003) the Italian born French artist designed nearly 1500 cinema posters and more than 250 book covers and visual for the press and advertising. He was one of the most productive creators of movie posters in France alongside Rene Ferracci, Clement Hurel, Michel Landi, and Boris Grinsson. His art craftsman parents left Italy and settled in France in 1932. He began as a decorator for cinema facades and designed his first cinema posters in 1947. He also composed posters for the music hall and book covers for publishers. This original vintage movie poster has been professionally linen-backed is sized an impressive 45 x 62 inches (plus a little more with the linen). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
