Karoly Grosz (illustrator)
The Mummy (1932)
- ... that a poster for the 1932 film The Mummy (pictured) illustrated by Karoly Grosz held the record for most expensive film poster at auction for 17 years?
- Source: "Could Rare 'Mummy' Poster Fetch $1 Million at Auction? (October 2018) from the Hollywood Reporter: "The rare 1932 lithographic film poster at one time held the record for the most expensive poster in the world after it sold at Sotheby's New York in 1997 for $453,500. It lost the title in 2014... Universal's advertising director Karoly Grosz designed the poster."

- Comment: The Mummy poster is a Featured Picture and was previously on the Main Page on October 31, 2013, as a Halloween-appropriate Picture of the Day. I think it's a good opportunity to highlight a Featured Picture in the DYK space, and almost seven years since its first appearance it wouldn't be too soon/repetitious.

Reviewing... DTM (talk) 10:31, 16 March 2020 (UTC)- Article was created on 7 March 2020 and nominated on the same day. It is long enough and within policy. Apart from the quote Earwigs doesn't pick up much. There are 27 images in the article and all are licensed adequately. The image in the hook is present in the article; it is a featured image. The hook is sourced and the content is present in the article and cited inline. The hook is interesting and the length is alright. QPQ well under way.
