EDITORS COMMENTS
Frankenstein; or, The Model Man: An Extravaganza, a satirical take on Mary Shelley's classic gothic novel, Frankenstein, was first performed at the Adelphi Theatre in 1818. This photograph print, published that same year, offers a glimpse into the theatrical production's unique interpretation of Shelley's story. In this spoof version, titled "The Model Man," Victor Frankenstein is depicted in a scientific room filled with various equipment and books, intently focused on creating life. The monster, his creation, stands behind him, looking on curiously. The scene is a testament to the scientific obsession and experimentation that drives the narrative of Shelley's novel. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, published in 1818, is a seminal work of English literature, known for its exploration of the ethical implications of scientific discovery and the consequences of playing God. In this theatrical adaptation, the themes of creation, life, and morality are presented in an extravagant and humorous way, with the addition of music, dance, and spectacle. The Adelphi Theatre, a historic London venue, was known for its productions of popular plays and musical entertainments. The photograph print, with its detailed staging and intriguing composition, offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of the early 19th century and the enduring appeal of Shelley's story.
