1928CNJS08Paris: Editions Narcisse printed by Lescaret 1928. Limited Edition. Wraps. Near fine. Alastair. No. 4 of of 300 copies quarto size 77 pp. Edgar Allan Poe 1809-1849 remains to this day a household name a master of mystery and the macabre. "Most famously Poe completely transformed the genre of the horror story with his masterful tales of psychological depth and insight not envisioned in the genre before his time and scarcely seen in it since. Stories like 'The Tell-Tale Heart' 'The Cask of Amontillado' 'The Pit and the Pendulum' 'The Masque of the Red Death' and 'The Fall of the House of Usher' reveal Poe's talent at its height" n.b. from the web site of the Poe Museum. <br/><br/>This short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" first published in 1839 in "Gentleman's Magazine" is thought by many to be based on certain events which took place at an actual house in Boston the "Hezekiah Usher House"; when the house was torn down in 1830 "two bodies were found embraced in a cavity in the cellar" n.b. from Wiki. <br/><br/>With illustrations by "Alastair" the nickname used by Hans Henning Otto Harry Baron von Voight 1887-1969 a highly-talented man who in addition to being an artist was also a composer and dancer. His illustrations are heavily influenced by Aubrey Beardsley with the look of Art Nouveau often with a "perverse and sinister" feel - which perfectly compliments this text by Poe. <br/><br/>The publisher of this volume "Editions Narcisse" was the name chosen for their first publishing venture by Harry Crosby 1898-1929 and his wife Caresse 1891-1970 who would later found the renowned Black Sun Press "one of the most important small presses in Paris in the 1920s" Wiki. The story behind Harry and Caresse is one of love and scandal against the backdrop of WWI and the Jazz Age of Paris; Crosby met Ernest Hemingway in 1926 while skiing in Gstaad and in 1927 they visited Pamplona together for the running of the bulls. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: String-bound with self-wraps the front wrap with lettering in red and black red and black ruled borders back wrap with publisher's device in red and a single black ruled border fore- and bottom edges uncut title page in red and black which mirrors the front wrap two initial capitals and sectional title in red all text in italics the five illustrations by Alastair bound throughout in shades of black and red tissue-guarded tipped onto silver-covered heavy paper; while the text is in English the colophon is in French this one of 300 copies printed on Holland Van Gelder paper there were also seven HC copies and one unique copy with an extra suite of prints; quarto size 10.25" by 7 1/8" pagination: i-iv half-title and title pages I-XIX Introduction by Symons XX blank 1-50 51-52 blanks 53 colophon. <br/><br/>___CONDITION: Near fine the wraps free of soil although with some toning the corners gently bent a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior is clean and bright and entirely free of prior owner markings; professional restoration to the wrapper spine invisible a few very light spots on the half-title page some small wear to the fore-edge one of the five illustrations missing the tissue guard lacking the original glassine jacket. Still a lovely copy of one of Poe's best stories by an important Paris printer of the interwar period. <br/><br/>___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. <br/><br/>___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

183719474Philadelphia: Printed and Published by Merrihew & Gunn 1837. First edition. Boards soiled and spotted and the edges rubbed; spine split nearly the length of the joint and front board loose; some light foxing throughout; a good sound copy only. 12mo original rose linen spine printed drab boards 84 pages. Poe enthusiast Joseph Jackson was fresh off his triumphant 1920 attribution to Poe of the uncommon pseudonymous anti-Dickens English Notes Boston 1842 by "Quarles Quickens" when in Jackson's own words "the publicity given that discovery set a good many booksellers delving for copies. One Philadelphia bookseller who had not been fortunate enough to uncover a copy . . . did run across an anonymous little book which seemed to him to have a Poesque touch although he could not exactly explain why he was thus impressed. He had no knowledge of the copy which came into his possession but when I was looking over his stock he handed it to me with the remark: 'This looks as if it was written by Poe.'" From this characteristic bookseller remark--a certain offhand scholarly optimism cloaked in the guise of expertise with enough of modesty to serve as a disclaimer and nothing so vulgar here as the mention of a profit--there of course soon burst a moderate boom for this title. In the foreword to the new edition of the Philosophy of Animal Magnetism Philadelphia 1928 which inevitably followed Jackson makes a show of professing a suitably demure initial skepticism before launching into a series of confident assertions regarding Poe's identity as the author--Poe must have visited Philadelphia in 1837 as he had nothing else much better to do; the address of the printers in Carter's Alley puts them on the same block as the editor Samuel Atkinson which "would suggest that Poe had called on Atkinson and that the latter had referred him to the printers as likely to publish the book;" the use of italics and small capitals for emphasis is particularly characteristic of Poe "It is true that his publishers in later years dispensed with the use of small capitals but the printers of 'Animal Magnetism' Merrihew and Gunn Philadelphia were a new firm and did not remain long in business. They evidently followed the author's copy literally"; the appearance of the word "Literati" in the dedication to the receptive mind inevitably suggests Poe etc. etc. Jackson's case was sufficiently convincing to collector J. K. Lilly who reportedly paid $2500 for a copy of the first edition of The Philosophy of Animal Magnetism and--given the well-known difficulties of proving a negative allied to the book trade's understandable reluctance to give up a profitable attribution--later bibliographers have seemed equivocal about showing Jackson's claims the door. BAL vol. 7 page 150 notes "Jackson attributes this piece . . . to Poe" thus leaving outside the Poe canon while bibliographer of animal magnetism Adam Crabtree remarks "Although there is no general agreement on the matter this book has been attributed to Edgar Allan Poe." Scribner in 1941 offered a copy of the first edition for the then-substantial sum of $175 under the fig leaf of "Attributed by some authorities to the pen of Poe." Only Merle Johnson seems to have sufficient temerity to note as early as 1936 that this title "is now definitely established as not the work of Poe." All this having been said still an interesting early American work on the subject including instructions on how to induce magnetic somnambulism. Crabtree 385.
