    Loose art plates. Berni Wrightson (illustrator). 1978 Signed Limited Edition of 2,000 restricted run published by Tyrannosaurus Press. Contained in a printed portfolio envelope that is hand signed and numbered by Berni Wrightson. This is No. 745 out of 2000. Six plates included along with the original Tyrannosaurus Press release letter. Each plate measures 11" x 15.75." Some light wear to the portfolio outer envelope with some overall foxing and flap to the envelope has some wrinkles to it. The art plates are in fantastic condition and ready for framing with faint foxing along the edges. The plates are clean and bright with very light corner wear, negligible. Accompanied by publisher issued plastic folder that shows one area of chipping. These art plates were featured in the Dodd, Mean & Company Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a 1983 published special edition that featured Wrightson as the artist and Stephen King with the introduction. This is the second Frankenstein portfolio by Berni Wrightson. The hardcover book containing this artwork was intended for a 1980/1981 publication, but wasn't published until 1983. The portfolio was released to help cover the production costs of publishing the book and all but one art plate appeared in the book save for one titled ".with unrelaxed and breathless eagerness, I pursued Nature to her hiding places.". It was available only in this second portfolio. Includes the following: i.) ".I took advantage of the moment of darkness, and cast my basket into the sea." ii.)"Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust!" iii.) "She was there, lifeless and inanimate, thrown across the bed." iv.) "It was, indeed, a filthy process in which I was engaged." v.) -"I entered the room where the corpse lay, and was led up to the coffin." vi.) And the rarer print, ".with unrelaxed and breathless eagerness, I pursued Nature to her hiding places." Due to size, additional postage needed for overseas orders.

ABOUT FRANKENSTEIN. Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by Mary Shelley about a creature produced by an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was eighteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty-one. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823. Shelley had travelled in the region of Geneva, where much of the story takes place, and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her future husband, Percy. The storyline emerged from a dream. Mary, Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for weeks about what her possible storyline could be, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made. She then wrote Frankenstein. ABOUT THE AUTHOR. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (UK: /ˈwʊlstənkrɑːft/; née Godwin; 30 August 1797 1 February 1851) was an English novelist who wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), which is considered an early example of science fiction. She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin and her mother was the philosopher and women's rights advocate Mary Wollstonecraft. Mary's mother died less than a fortnight after giving birth to her. She was raised by her father, who provided her with a rich if informal education, encouraging her to adhere to his own anarchist political theories. When she was four, her father married a neighbour, Mary Jane Clairmont, with whom Mary came to have a troubled relationship. Signed by Illustrator(s).

Illustrated drop caps for every chapter. Smyth sewn with black thread. Several hidden design details. Bookmark in shape of a doctor s scalpel. CONCEPT AND ART. The Doctor Edition aims to represent the ambitious doctor and elements of his profession. It is limited to 300 numbered and signed copies, and it has several features that make it quite unique. Since we wanted to create two distinct editions, they share a deep connection, just like the doctor and its creation. The covers are inspired by an operating table and that is why we used aluminium as the main feature, which is then quarter-bound in the finest black leather, and then the spine was blocked with silver foil. Most importantly a real surgeon s needle was blocked on the front cover, while other details were engraved with laser. The goal was to have covers that can proudly claim the title of The Doctor Edition. Once you open the book, you ll be met by handmade marbled endpapers done by the legendary Freya Scott. They were done in a cellular pattern so to make one additional connection with Victor s profession. When you reach the title, you will find a hidden surprise in the book s title. But the creative concept for this title is where the book truly shines. It is based upon our insight that this is a story about connection, or rather the lack thereof. The Monster is constantly trying to connect with people. Signed by Illustrator(s).

    First edition of this illustrated edition of Mary Shelley's masterpiece and "the most famous English horror novel" (Clute and Nicholls). Quarto, original cloth, illustrated. Signed by Barry Moser on the title page. Afterword by Joyce Carol Oates. First published in 1818, Frankenstein is not only the "most famous English horror novel" but also, by some critics' reckoning, "the first genuine science fiction novel" (Clute & Nicholls, 1099). The circumstances of its composition are by now well known: 19-year old Mary was in Switzerland with Percy Shelley, Byron, and Byron's physician John Polidori on that famous evening in 1816 when the discussion turned to one of Shelley's favorite topics, the supernatural. Byron proposed that all members of the party write a romance or tale dealing with the subject. The resulting efforts were Polidori's The Vampyre, Byron's unfinished narrative about a vampire, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, "the most famous English horror novel⦠a defining model of the Gothic mode of fiction, and⦠the first genuine science fiction novel, the first significant rendering of the relations between mankind and science through an image of mankind's dual nature appropriate to an age of science" (Clute and Nicholls, Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, 1099). At base, the novel is one of creative powers gone wrong-a subject of paramount concern to Mary Shelley, as her own mother had died as a result of Shelley's birth, and the year before writing Frankenstein, she lost her own daughter, Clare. Published anonymously on January 1st 1818 in a run of only 500 copies, the first edition included a preface written by Percy Shelley and a dedication to the authorâs father, William Godwin. Its narrative, of a living being fashioned with materials found in "the dissecting room and the slaughter-house" and rejected by its maker, has now reached the same mythic cultural status as Don Quixote and Robinson Crusoe. Yet the reviews at the time were mixed, with the Quarterly Review sufficiently morally outraged to wonder "whether the head or the heart of the author be the most diseased," while Walter Scott praised her âoriginal geniusâ and âuncommon powers of poetic imagination.â.

The Doctor Edition of 'Frankenstein' attempts to incorporate the spirit of Dr. Victor Frankenstein and his (mis)deeds. It is quarter-bound in finest black goatskin leather and aluminium. The use of aluminium was inspired by an operating table and therefore a real surgeon's needle was blocked onto the front cover. The spine is blocked in silver, while the detailing on aluminium is engraved with laser. There are eight illustrations inside (two spreads) that are sensitive to heat, so they transform upon touch, which means each illustration has two phases. There are illustrated drop caps for every chapter, handmade cellular pattern marbled endpapers by Freya Scott, silver page edges, and several hidden design details. Printed offset on Fedrigoni Savile Row 100g paper. Smyth sewn with black thread. The book comes in a solander box lined with purple velvet which was inspired by a doctor's tool bag from that era. The box also houses a bookmark in the shape of a doctor's scalpel. 8vo - over 7ľ - 9ľ" tall. This is a truly unique and extremely tactile version of 'Frankenstein' which was limited to only 300 signed and numbered copies, sold out quickly at the publisher, and is scarce on the secondary market. A must have for collectors. Additional images available on request or these may be viewed on my eBay listing. Heavy/oversize book. U.K. postage at default charge but overseas buyers may be asked for extra. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed-for, and insured. Signed by Artist(s).

Illustrated drop caps for every chapter. Smyth sewn with black thread. Several hidden design details. Bookmark in shape of a doctor s scalpel. CONCEPT AND ART. The Doctor Edition aims to represent the ambitious doctor and elements of his profession. It is limited to 300 numbered and signed copies, and it has several features that make it quite unique. Since we wanted to create two distinct editions, they share a deep connection, just like the doctor and its creation. The covers are inspired by an operating table and that is why we used aluminium as the main feature, which is then quarter-bound in the finest black leather, and then the spine was blocked with silver foil. Most importantly a real surgeon s needle was blocked on the front cover, while other details were engraved with laser. The goal was to have covers that can proudly claim the title of The Doctor Edition. Once you open the book, you ll be met by handmade marbled endpapers done by the legendary Freya Scott. They were done in a cellular pattern so to make one additional connection with Victor s profession. When you reach the title, you will find a hidden surprise in the book s title. But the creative concept for this title is where the book truly shines. It is based upon our insight that this is a story about connection, or rather the lack thereof. The Monster is constantly trying to connect with people. Signed by Illustrator(s).
