Chantrell's original painted concept artwork (23 5/8"x 31 5/8" overall) for the Hammer horror film "The Horror of Frankenstein" (1970).
Chantrell acted virtually as Hammer's in-house poster artist 1965-70, creating Quad poster artwork but also a range of pre-production art too. After the demise of Warner-Pathe's distribution with Hammer in 1969, Chantrell produced less finished art but up till 1974 he continued to supply Hammer with pre-production art & concept material like this "Horror of Frankenstein " piece.
The artwork is gouache on artboard subsequently laid to a black backing card. Ever the innovator, Chantrell has extended the lightning bolt from the original artwork across the backing card too (this artwork was originally framed & hanging in Chantrell's home).
