About This Print
Frankenstein Poster by Laurent Durieux
Dive into the haunting beauty of the Universal Classic Monsters legacy with this stunning screen print for James Whale’s 1931 masterpiece, Frankenstein. This iconic artwork, created by the highly acclaimed artist Laurent Durieux for Mondo, captures the duality and tragedy of Boris Karloff’s Creature.
The Creature’s Delicate Moment
This design is instantly recognizable for its sensitive portrayal of the Monster. Set against a dark, stormy background, the Creature’s face is rendered in striking gray tones, dramatically highlighted by deep orange accents. The central, heartbreaking detail is the massive, stitched hand gently holding a small, pure white daisy—a poignant nod to the tragic scene from the film that reveals the Monster’s innocent capacity for kindness and the ensuing catastrophic misunderstanding.
Collector’s Grade Movie Art
Perfect for enthusiasts of classic horror, film history, and collectible screen-printed artwork, this poster elevates the movie poster medium to fine art. The meticulous line work characteristic of Durieux’s style gives the image a vintage yet modern graphic novel aesthetic. Hang this piece in your media room, office, or gallery wall to celebrate one of the most enduring and philosophical horror films ever made. It is more than just a poster; it is a profound tribute to the enduring myth of Dr. Frankenstein’s creation.

After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
