Book Cover: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Crafted with traditional printmaking tools, this design is hand-carved onto a linoleum block, inked, and stamped. The choice of a mountain motif aims to encapsulate the sublime qualities depicted in Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” In the Swiss mountains, where the scientist Victor Frankenstein finds solace, the design echoes the temporary relief he experiences from internal agony. Departing from the common focus on the Creature, this choice underscores the subtler themes of the book, emphasizing the beauty of nature in contrast to the unnatural atrocities committed by Frankenstein.
