Artist and illustrator of children’s books (1882–1955). Pogany is important to horror collectors as the Art Director of The Mummy, starring Boris Karloff. Pogany's sets for this classic were remarkable and created the eerie atmospheric mood for the film. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, March 24, 1931. Letter to Samuel Goldwyn Inc. In part: “It is understood that you shall have the right to use the drawings, designs, sketches, etc. for exploitation purposes, without liability on your part for their return to me. It is understood, of course, that you shall use due caution to see that these articles are not destroyed.” In fine condition, with staple holes and a paperclip impression to top left.
