What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
The first trade edition of Irish illustrator Harry Clarke's edition of the macabre tales of Edgar Allan Poe.
Illustrated with twenty-four halftone plates by Clarke. Collated, complete.
This was the second work published with Clarke's illustrations, and the first to establish his reputation as an illustrator. A leading figure in the Irish Arts and Crafts Movement, his work was influenced by both the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements.
Featuring twenty-nine of Poe's mysterious and macabre short stories, including 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', and 'The Masque of the Red Death'.
The work was so popular that it was released again four years later, with the addition of colour plates.
Condition
