Vintage roughly 5x6-inch black and white portrait, boldly signed in black fountain pen around 1934. In good condition, with slightly unevenly trimmed borders and a minor crease to the upper area. Great English stage and screen character actor Cedric Hardwicke is revered by horror and sci-fi fans for his portrayals of Broughton in The Ghoul (1933), Theotocopulos in Things to Come (1936), Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939), Richard Cobb in The Invisible Man Returns (1940), Ludwig Frankenstein in The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), and Conrad Stauffer in Invisible Agent (1942). He also provided the distinctive narration for The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) and The War of the Worlds (1953).
