This series originally aired on British television under the title Cribb, chronicling the activities of a fictional Scotland Yard detective and his investigation of historic Victorian crimes. The poster shows a realistic portrait of actor Alan Dobie set against a dreary London cityscape. The image for the second season in 1981 is identical except for the addition of a green rather than tan border. This was also the year that Vincent Price replaced Gene Shalit as the host of Mystery!. Barbara Sandler was briefly represented by Push Pin. Her work focuses on historic male portraiture, a theme that caused some critics to describe her as an “anti-feminist.”
