The first image is of Boris Karloff, before his makeup work.
Jack Pierce was the make up artist for Frankenstein. He also created the look of many other famous monsters like the Wolfman and the Mummy.
Jack Pierce came up with the iconic square shaped head of Frankenstein's monster. He believed that if someone were to transplant a brain, they would saw through the head and attach a latch to the top.
Karloff and Pierce worked together for The Mummy (1932), with Karloff playing the part of the mummy.
Very nice blog post, it was very easy to read and understand. I also liked how you made a comparison on Karlov before and after his makeup work was done. It just goes to show how skillfully jack pierce was in doing the makeup for the monster. Once again, very good post, I learned a lot from it.
