EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the title page of the first edition of Mary Shelley's iconic novel, Frankenstein, published in 1818. The intricate details and elegant design showcase the literary significance of this groundbreaking work. Mary Shelley, an accomplished English novelist and writer, penned this Gothic masterpiece that has since become a cornerstone of modern literature. Titled "Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus" it explores themes of creation, ambition, and the consequences of playing god. The title page exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue with its gothic engravings and delicate typography. It is a testament to Shelley's immense talent as both a storyteller and wordsmith. This print serves as a visual reminder of her profound impact on British literature. Shelley's own life was marked by tragedy and creativity. As the daughter of renowned philosopher William Godwin and feminist pioneer Mary Wollstonecraft, she inherited their intellectual prowess. She also edited and promoted the works of her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was an influential Romantic poet. As we gaze upon this lithograph from Bridgeman Images housed at New York Public Library in USA today, we are reminded not only of Mary Shelley's genius but also her lasting legacy as one of history's most celebrated female writers.
