Description: Mary Shelley, Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus (New York, Harrison Smith and Robert Haas, 1934), with engravings on wood by Lynn Ward. Original hardcover, publisher's white cloth with applied illustration and printed spine label. First of this edition of Mary Shelley's ultimate classic novel first published in 1818. Spine and spine label quite tanned, some foxing and staining on top edge but otherwise in good condition, tight and sound throughout. Wad's 15 full-page monochrome wood engravings (and numerous others in text) provide arguably the first visual rendering of this great Gothic text. A scarce and highly desirable book.
