\"ward1.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Mary Shelley’s novel illustrated in woodcuts by the great Lynd Ward (1905\u20131985). This edition appeared in 1934, a couple of years after the release of James Whale’s first Frankenstein<\/em> film whose popularity may have led to its commission. It’s good to see Dover Publications<\/a> keeping this one in print when first editions go for hundreds of pounds. VTS has more of the illustrations<\/a> (there’s also this site<\/a>), and many more examples of Ward’s work<\/a>.<\/p>\n
