Note other lots in the auction may close on June 29th or July 1st. A hand-painted poster concept illustration from the promotion of Charles Lamont's horror-comedy Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy. Originally from the collection of W.E. Berry, it features the design used for the final produced British quad. Rendered in paint on board, the artwork depicts the stars' character portraits in shades of green, the mummy's silhouette lurking behind them, and the Egyptian desert in the background. This version is missing the tagline in the top left and the bottom corners' studio details. A Universal-International logo is pasted onto the board, and the illustration has maintained its bold colors. It is in good overall condition, with minor damage on the silhouette, marks, scuffing, and tape remnants. Dimensions: 18.5" x 23.25" (47 cm x 59 cm) Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000
