The first page of Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein," a chapter titled "Letter 1." The page of text is obscured by layers of black and gray marker ink. Excerpted words from the text are in offset white boxes: "disaster arrived; it is a promise, fervent with the banished wonders of undiscovered hells." The letters in the word "hells" have been assembled from multiple words, so that hells' upper perimeter is jagged like a sawtooth.
