Broadside playbill for an early musical adaptation of Frankenstein, performed just ten years after the first publication of the book. Thomas P. Cooke (1786-1864) starred as the monster. He was known for his acrobatic prowess and was one of the most popular thespians of the day. An interesting survival.
