Spine lettered in gilt and with similar design. Unpaginated. Twenty-eight color plates with descriptive tissue guards. Ten black ink head-pieces on tan backgrounds and portrait of Poe on the title-page also in black ink on tan background. An excellent copy.<br/><br/>"Dulac's pictures for The Bells were more uniform in mood and style than groupings for almost any other book of his to this time. Although water colours they are overstreaked with gilt in some cases crayon in others to produce rich haunting effects. Deep shades of blue and a special deep pink-rust predominate throughout.The Outlook commented: 'sometimes Dulac's pictures are deep-coloured and intense sometimes dim and ghost-like. But one and all are sensitized to record impressions of unearthly beauty or horror. Only Poe could have written the poems. Only Dulac could have illustrated them'.As the 10 Bells headpieces show he had now become truly masterful with his pen" Hughey.<br/><br/>Hughey 29a. Hodder & Stoughton unknown books
