"Bride of Frankenstein" (1935) British Quad film poster (30 x 40 inch) starring Boris Karloff as Frankensteins Monster, Valerie Hobson as Elizabeth and Elsa Lanchester as The Monsters Bride complete with electric hairdo! Directed by James Whale this sequel to his own "Frankenstein" still ranks as one of the greatest achievements in the history of the making of horror films. This wonderful stone-lithograph printed film poster bears the "H" for Horrific censor rating which was introduced in 1932 to protect the British public from the new horrific films coming from America (Frankestein, 1931). The poster bears the Eros Films flying wings logo of Wardour Street London. Eros films began in May 1947 and the H certificate ceased in 1951 making this British Quad a very early re-release from between 1947 and 1951. The Director James Whale spent many of his formative years at school in the Baylies Charity School here in Dudley, the very building where this historic film poster is being auctioned! Printed in England by Stafford & Co. ltd Netherfield, Nottingham and London No. 8953A. Excellent folded condition with a tiny piece of paper loss in the bottom border and a small cross fold match stick head size hole at the bottom left under the title. Extremely vivid colours and a wonderful piece of cinema history. [BROWSER 55]

A WALKING STICK CARVED FROM TIMBER RECOVERED FROM THE WRECK OF THE ROYAL CHARTER [1859] of tapering form carved with foliate devices, silver cuff hand-inscribed ROYAL CHARTER / OCT 26 1859 / WRECKED -- 34in. (86.5cm.) long The auxiliary sailing ship Royal Charter was one of the most successful early steam vessels running to Australia during the decade following the gold rush, which began in 1851. After numerous highly profitable voyages, she left Melbourne on 26th August, 1859, homeward bound and carrying 388 passengers, 112 crew and a large cargo of bullion fresh from the goldfields. Quite apart from almost 70,000 ounces of gold valued at £273,000 and £48,000 in newly minted sovereigns, she was also carrying the personal wealth of a number of passengers who had made fortunes at the diggings. Arriving at Queenstown on 24th October after a record run of only 55 days, a large number of letters were dispatched announcing their safe arrival. As she sped up the Irish Sea, Captain Taylor ran inshore a little to allow his passengers a sight of Brunel's new monster steamship Great Eastern which was lying at Holyhead after her trials. Shortly after this minor detour, the wind started to freshen considerably. Taylor's signal rocket for a pilot at around 6.30pm. remained unanswered due to the weather and by 8.00pm. it was blowing a full gale. In an effort to gain a little more searoom, he ordered a few sails to be set but to no avail. The sheer power of the sea and the wind, which by now had veered around and was hurricane strength, was blowing Royal Charter towards the shore and her puny engine could do little to stop the drift. At 1.30am. the following morning the port anchor snapped and the starboard chain went an hour later. Swung around by the straining cable before it broke, Royal Charter was now bows on to the land and heading inshore. She grounded at about 3.30am. although little could be done to evacuate the ship until daylight. Valiant efforts to get a line for a bo'sun's chair ashore eventually succeeded, but hardly had a handful of men got off the wreck than a huge wave broke the ship in two at 7.00am. With practically all the passengers in the rear saloon, their fate was sealed; Only 40 persons survived the disaster and all were men - 22 passengers and 18 crew. Every woman and child (and Captain Taylor with all his officers) perished in the violence of the storm and those bodies which were recovered revealed the awful truth; very few had drowned, most had been battered to death on the rocky shore within feet of safety. The storm - one of the greatest of the 19th-century - became known to history as the "Royal Charter Gale".
