Edgar Allan Poe 1809-1849 needs no introduction as the master of the macabre. He gained a reputation as a popular writer and became a household name by 1845 although he continued to struggle financially for the rest of his life. One of the first writers to attempt to make a living solely off his work Poe's work greatly affected the burgeoning genres of horror and science fiction and much of his work explores the tumultuous depths of the human psyche. <br/><br/>The tales are perfectly complemented by the artwork of Harry Henry Patrick Clarke 1890-1931 who would become a leading figure in the arts and crafts movement. Clarke was apprenticed as a glass-maker to his father the head of a large firm of stained glass artists in 1906. An accomplished glass artist whose work can be seen in both secular and religious settings Clarke's illustrations can be compared to that of Aubrey Beardsley Kay Nielson and Edmund Dulac taken up during the tail end of what was considered the Golden Age of Illustration; his work is often imbued with a sinister atmosphere also exemplified by Beardsley and which come to full force in this work. <br/><br/>A stunning example the volume incredibly clean and fresh in a dust jacket that is clean and bright and with the original box: Poe's "Tales" with Clarke's illustrations as they were meant to be. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full black cloth over boards gilt decoration and lettering on the spine paper label mounted onto front board with an illustration by Clarke in black and white over a half-gold ground above black lettering and decorations top edge stained black black endpapers tipped-in colour frontispiece title page with small illustration by Clarke seven additional full-colour plates by Clarke bound in throughout plus twenty-four pages of black and white illustrations two of the pages constitute a single double-spread illustration chapter tailpieces by Clarke throughout; quarto size 10 5/8" by 8 1/4" pagination: 1-8 9-412 followed by a half-page Clark vignette.
