A nearly complete collection of Swedish posters for the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes films from Universal International Pictures. [Sweden: Universal International Pictures, 1943-1946].
11 (of a possible 12 posters) of Rathbone/Bruce Holmes films released in Sweden. General size: 40 x 27 ¾”; 1008 x 703 mm. Some general toning, wear, a few with creases, some occasional soiling, chipping, a few small holes. There were 14 total Holmes films with Rathbone and Bruce, with Universal making 12 of them after 20th Century Fox let their rights expire (Fox made the first 2 films).
