Légende

Scene from the Extravaganza of "Frankenstein, or, The Model Man" at the Adelphi Theatre, [London], 1850. 'The Christmas extravaganza at this theatre is from the melodrama of "Frankenstein", which many years since attracted large audiences of those who woo terror to delight themselves, in the old Lyceum Theatre. The piece was an extravagant affair per se; and how burlesque has heightened its absurdities, can better be told in picture than in words. The scene...is the interior of the laboratory; and the situation, the fright of Frankenstein at the sight of the Model Man of his own creation. The piece, from the already practised pen of the Brothers Brough, increases in popularity on each repetition.' From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
