Beschreibung

Measures 2 x 3.25 inches. Accordion text housed between black panels with a stretch black band with a tassel wrapped around it. House in a gray box designed to look like a cigarette package. Title printed on the front and side of the package. An artful three-color letterpress mini-book designed and printed to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This charming book has an accordion fold structure that allows the front spread to be from the perspective of Doctor Frankenstein and the reverse to be from the perspective of the monster. From the Artist- "This artful mini-book was created to vend from a vintage cigarette machine. A unique format was chosen to engage viewers with an analog machine from our past that many of a younger generation have never seen. The vending machine helps give the book which is quite small, a more visible footprint when on display. "Over nine spreads, the story of Frankenstein is told using phrases selected from the original story. I illustrated each of these spreads, depicting the development of both Mister F.'s lives; the doctor from his youth up through schooling and his experimentation leading to his creation and the ensuing degradations that the creature endures from his creator and others.".
