Bernie Wrightson - Frankenstein - 1 Portfolio - Limited edition - 1980

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: A Portfolio by Bernie Wrightson. Limited to 1,200 copies (this one is number 125), published by Editions du Triton in 1980. Signed on the cover by the artist. Complete with its 6 plates in very good condition+. The cover is in good condition, showing folding marks as well as a slight natural browning. This is the third (and final) installment of the portfolio trilogy dedicated to Frankenstein. The portfolio includes six large-format black-and-white plates printed on thick watercolor-type paper, about 28 x 40 cm. "These six pen-and-ink illustrations are entirely centered on the creature. They explore its solitude, its Gothic stature, and its distress through dark and grandiose settings." The plates are notable for being unpublished works that were not selected for the final illustrated edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein by Wrightson.
