Previously sold at RR Auction: Tough to acquire vintage 10x8-inch black and white portrait from an unknown 1940s film, boldly signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen in 1952. In fine condition for its age. Rare in 10x8 format! 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.
