About the Item
This 1964 moyenne poster for L’Empreinte de Frankenstein — the French release of The Evil of Frankenstein — features striking artwork by Russian-born illustrator Boris Grinsson, a prolific poster artist known for his dynamic and expressive style.
The film, produced by Hammer Film Productions, stars Peter Cushing as Baron Victor Frankenstein and is a classic example of British gothic horror from the studio’s golden era. Grinsson’s artwork captures the dramatic tension and eerie atmosphere typical of Hammer horror, using bold composition and vivid colour to evoke the film’s dark themes.
This poster not only promotes the third entry in Hammer’s Frankenstein series but also reflects the distinctive visual language of European horror cinema marketing during the 1960s.
Boris Grinsson (1907 - 1999) was a renowned Russian born French artist famous for drawing the designs for over 2000 French film posters for American, Italian, and French films during a career spanning forty years (from the 1930s to the 1970s). He produced a vast body of work in a variety of genres, including This Gun for Hire (1942), Gilda (1946), The Lady from Shanghai (1948) and From Russia with Love (1963).
This original vintage movie poster has been professionally linen-backed and is sized 23 1/2 x 31 1/4 inches (plus a couple more inches for the linen). It will be sent rolled (unframed).

Frankenstein
Frankenstein is a 1931 American science fiction horror film directed by James Whale, produced by Carl Laemmle Jr., and adapted from a 1927 play by Peggy Webling, which in turn was based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.
Frankenstein stars Colin Clive as Henry Frankenstein, an obsessed scientist who digs up corpses with his assistant in order to assemble a living being from body parts. The resulting creature, often known as Frankenstein's monster, is portrayed by Boris Karloff. The make-up for the monster was provided by Jack Pierce. Alongside Clive and Karloff, the film's cast also includes Mae Clarke, John Boles, Dwight Frye, and Edward Van Sloan.
