^Lot 923 Lionel Atwill

British actor (1885–1946) best known for his roles in such horror films as Mark of the Vampire and Son of Frankenstein and as Moriarty to Basil Rathbone’s Sherlock Holmes. Early distinguished vintage matte-finish 6.5 x 8.5 photo of Atwill in a smoking jacket, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “Pauline, with fondest regards, Lionel Atwill ‘21.” Rippling to vertical edges, adhesive remnants on reverse, and light to moderate contrast to signature and inscription, otherwise fine condition.
