Tough to acquire, somewhat small vintage 2.7 x 3.7-inch black and white portrait, boldly signed in blue fountain pen in the 1930s. In fine condition for its age. Gaunt, deliciously melodramatic character actor Ernest Thesiger was unforgettable as Horace Femm in This Old Dark House (1932), Lang in The Ghoul (1933) and-- of course!-- Dr. Pretorius in Bride of Frankenstein (1935), three masterpieces of the horror, sci-fi and fantasy genres.
