‘We perceived a low carriage, fixed on a sledge and drawn by dogs, pass on towards the north, at the distance of half a mile: a being which had the shape of a man, but apparently of gigantic stature,’

MARY SHELLY. FRANKENSTEIN or The Modern Prometheus. p.10.

DESCRIPTION

Vulpa has created a sequence of illustrations inspired by the literary classic Frankenstein. Each week she will be sharing one of her works, a total of six in all.

The first scene depicts the book’s opening sequence of letters, where an arctic seafarer recounts his rescue of the frozen scientist Victor Frankenstein, who is in frenzied pursuit of a monstrous creature that has only recently passed the ship.
