An Original Unfolded Hand-Painted Linen Poster (measures 45 1/4" x 83 3/4" [115 x 213 cm]) (Learn More) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, the 1939 Sidney Lanfield crime detective mystery thriller (based on the novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) starring Richard Greene, Basil Rathbone (as Sherlock Holmes), Wendy Barrie, Nigel Bruce (as Dr. Watson), Lionel Atwill, John Carradine, Barlowe Borland, Beryl Mercer, Morton Lowry, Ralph Forbes, and Eily Malyon. Note that this was the very first of the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies, produced by 20th Century-Fox. It was followed by a same year sequel, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", also from 20th Century-Fox. Fox did not make anymore of these, but in 1942, Universal bought the rights to the character and released "Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror" (which brought Holmes out of the Victorian age and into the present, which greatly reduced production costs), and they quickly turned out a number of sequels in what proved to be an extremely popular series.

Important Added Info: Note that we can't say for certain, but we know for sure that this poster, which is hand-painted on to canvas, was created many decades after the movie first came out. Because we have seen other posters like this that were painted in the 1990s we are guessing that, but we can't say for certain. People created these so that someone could inexpensively frame a copy of a classic poster on their wall, and one that was hand-painted. But certainly no one would think that this was created in 1939. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: fair to good. Unfortunately, this poster was stored poorly, and the linen developed many horizontal creases scattered throughout from how it was stored. Those creases can lighten over time if it is tightly rolled around a tube and stored that way for awhile, but please bear this in mind and look at our super-sized image before bidding on this poster.
