The Hound of the Baskervilles 1964 East German A1 Film Poster, Schleissing Grouppe

This 1964 East German poster for The Hound of the Baskervilles, created by Schleissing Grouppe, delivers a haunting, expressionistic vision of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic mystery. Its shadow-soaked illustration and monstrous hound imagery capture the eerie atmosphere behind the Hammer Films adaptation, starring Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes and Christopher Lee in a key supporting role. Directed by Terence Fisher, the film had brought gothic tension and vivid style to the iconic detective tale. 

Schleissing Grouppe, the imaginative East German design collective, is renowned for its bold graphic style and evocative cinematic imagery—seen to brilliant effect in this sought-after Hound of the Baskervilles poster. Blending modernist composition with an atmospheric sense of mystery, the group’s work reflects the distinct visual culture of the Cold War era while showcasing their flair for innovation. Their posters remain highly collectible today for their originality, rarity, and unmistakable artistic character.

This vintage movie poster is sized 22 3/4 x 32 inches (and a couple extra for linen) and has been professionally linen backed. It will be sent rolled (unframed).
