• Notes: "Founded principally on Mrs. Shelley's singular work entitled Frankenstein; or, The modern Prometheus; and partly on the French piece, ''Le magicien et le monstre.''", "First performed at the Coburg Theatre, July 3, 1826." Fortuna Books (Christchurch NZ) described a copy they had for sale saying: "Copper-engraved frontispiece portrait of Mr. O. Smith as the Monster in Frankenstein. Figure drawing at end of text showing the position of the characters when the curtain falls. This has as a frontis the first pictorial representation of the monster in print. Early Frankenstein playbill, the script of the 1826 staged theatre production as performed at the London Theatres. Preceded only by the first two editions of Shelley's book this item precedes the scarce third London edition by five years. Lists characters and the actors who played them, listing the Monster with six asterisks only, but giving the actor's name."
