Highly rare and truly fantastic vintage 3.5 x 5.5-inch matte-finish black and white postcard portrait as Captain Denis Stanhope in James Whale's stage play "Journey’s End" (1930), looking war-worn and mad in the eye, boldly signed with his name alone in black fountain pen at the time of the production. In good condition. English stage and screen actor Colin Clive is forever remembered for his electrifying portrayals of the titular mad scientist in James Whale’s Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935), two classics of the horror, sci-fi and fantasy genres. He also starred as Orlac in the Peter Lorre favorite Mad Love (1935). In 1937, Clive died tragically of tuberculosis, exasperated by his longtime alcoholism, aged only 37 years.
