On Tuesday I was particularly interested in the version of Dracula the library had for us. The find of the original manuscript was interesting to say the least but what caught my attention were the images that accompanied the book. The Images were striking but they reminded me of Nosferatu, FW Mernau’s 1920 film based on Dracula. (its also by far one of the more accurate adaptations of Dracula) Because the images were added to the text so far in time after the publication one has to wonder how much other work has influenced the artist and how has that changed a viewers perspective?
The images of the Dracula book struck me as well. They were very detailed and the subject matter caught my eye. I ended up looking at these images for a long period of time and I found them very entertaining.
