Robert Andrew Parker

Parker is well-known for book illustrations, especially children's literature, and has works in galleries not related to book illustration.  He illustrated Frankenstein with a multitude of watercolor paintings.  His depictions show Victor's creation without much facial sculpturing and large eye sockets, being that Victor was a scientist and not an artist and that he was in a hurry, admitting to not want to be slowed down by minuteness of parts, so this is sets his illustrations apart from most of the other artists.  Some pages are in full color, while others are in black and white. I can't find a date on the book, but it seems to have been done in the 1970's-1980's.
