Sherlock Holmes’ Fatal Hour. [London: First Division Pictures, 1931]. Original one-sheet poster for the 1931 Sherlock Holmes film starring Arthur Wontner. Approximately 42 x 28”; 1,062 x 718 mm. Linen backed. Few creases visible, some rubbing (possible repairs at creases). A handsome example of this rare and unusual poster. This story is adapted from Conan Doyle’s The Final Problem (1893) and The Adventure of the Empty House (1903). “No better “Sherlock Holmes” than Arthur Wontner is likely to be seen and heard in pictures, in our time… The keen, worn, kindly face and quiet prescient smile are out of the very pages of the book…” (Vincent Starrett, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes).
