Frankenstein

Character created by Mary Shelley in her eponymous book.

The Somers Town Mural supposedly shows "Head of Frankenstein". We can't see it in the mural but suspect that the head of Frankenstein's monster is what is actually depicted - a common error that we have smugly avoided in our picture.
