Uncommonly early 3.25 x 5.5-inch black and white postcard portrait, dating to the very onset of his film career, around 1935, neatly signed in blue fountain pen across his jacket. In fine condition. Three-time Oscar-nominated English film star James Mason made noteworthy contributions to the horror and sci-fi genres, with roles in Terror House (1942), The Tell-Tale Heart (1953), Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959), The Boys from Brazil (1978), Murder by Decree (1979), and Tobe Hooper's much-loved adaptation of Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot (1979).
