Sepia, 8x10. Basil Rathbone (1892-1967) was at his best in period costume dramas. He was
nominated for Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor for playing Tybalt in Romeo and
Juliet (1936) and King Louis XVI in If I Were King (1938). He was Murdstone in David
Copperfield (1934), Evremonde in Tale of Two Cities (1935), Pontius Pilate in The Last Days
of Pompeii (1936), Karenin in Anna Karenina (1936) and Guy of Gisbourne in The Adventures
of Robin Hood (1938). In 1939, Rathbone was cast as Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of
the Baskervilles, the first of 14 screen appearances as Conan Doyle's master
detective. He also played Holmes on radio from 1939-1946. Adequate contrast. Slightly
creased at corners. Ink stamp and mounting remnants on verso. Overall, fine condition.
