Tiny Frankenstein
As a follow-up to an ask from @thelibraryofmars, here are a few pictures of an incredibly unique item -- a complete reproduction of Mary Shelley’s novel in a 1/12th scale. It’s so tiny that the camera has trouble focusing on it, but I’m hoping to get some professional pics done soon!
The item was created by famous author, illustrator, & publisher Barbara Raheb, whose amazing work you can see here. Her work is particularly rare and valuable now, as Raheb had to discontinue making her miniature books in 2002, when she started losing her vision.
On loan to the Eaton Collection of Science Fiction and Fantasy at the University of California, Riverside, by generous and brilliant science fiction collector, Dr. Mark C. Glassy.
