Description

Bela Lugosi Photo from His Estate. Typecast playing monsters and villains in movies such as Dracula, Son of Frankenstein, and (briefly) Plan 9 From Outer Space, it's often forgotten how handsome Bela Lugosi actually was. This vintage 11" x 14" photo portrait of the actor, matted and framed to an overall size of 17.5" x 20.5", comes from Bela's personal collection. Taken for publicity before the release of the film version of Dracula during the late '20s -- which launched his film career -- it illustrates the man's striking good looks in a striking pose, and the reverse side bears the stamp of Lugosi's agent. In Excellent condition.
