British-born film director (1889–1957) who helmed such horror classics as Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, and The Invisible Man. After a series of strokes left Whale physically weak, he committed suicide by throwing himself into his swimming pool. His career was the subject of the Academy Award–winning 1998 film Gods and Monsters. Original vintage pencil and ink sketch of the set for Myra’s bedroom in his 1931 film Waterloo Bridge on an off-white 17.5 x 11.25 sheet, signed in the lower right border in pencil, “James Whale—1931.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 16.5 x 20.5. In very good to fine condition, with a central area of light dampstaining in the area of the bed. Whale had garnered acclaim for himself as a set and costume designer on the British theater scene—passions that carried over into his film career, as demonstrated by this set design sketch. Waterloo Bridge opened to mixed reviews, and was quickly overshadowed by the film Whale released three months later—Frankenstein.
