British actor (1892–1967) best known for the role of Sherlock Holmes in the film series in the late 1930s, Basil Rathbone’s acting career spanned Shakespeare to low-budget horror and actually included both at once in the Comedy of Terrors, where he recites every Shakespeare line related to dying. Vintage pearl-finish 8 x 10 double weight Clarence Sinclair Bull publicity photo for Rathbone’s upcoming role in David Copperfield, signed and inscribed in-person in fountain pen “To Saul, Basil Rathbone.” Reverse of photo bears collector’s stamp date of August 19, 1936, the date the signature was acquired. Promotional caption affixed to reverse states Rathbone is set “to portray the cruel Mr. Murdstone in David O. Selznick’s forthcoming picturization of ‘David Copperfield.’” Light central horizontal bend, and some other light scattered surface marks and bends, otherwise fine condition.
