Arthur Rackham 1867-1939 was a prolific British artist and illustrator best known for his deluxe editions of popular children's books. Artistically inclined since childhood Rackham started out illustrating for newspapers but it was not until he began drawing for children's literature that he received critical acclaim. In response to his burgeoning fame Rackham's publisher William Heinemann began producing deluxe and trade editions of his illustrated works the first being Rip Van Winkle in 1905. Deluxe editions were produced in a limited edition of numbered copies ranging in quantity from 250 - 2020 bound in vellum bindings printed on handmade paper and signed by the illustrator. The trade editions were published concurrently in simple bindings on thinner paper and with fewer color plates. This publication strategy benefited both publisher and artist; Rackham produced about one book per year and would have an annual gallery exhibition showing his original artwork for his latest book. . 1st Edition.

Overall a luxurious and haunting edition of two short stories from the 19th century American master of horror. This fine press book contains two macabre short stories by Edgar Allan Poe: "The Facts in the Case of Monsieur Valdemar" and "The Story of Hop-Frog." In "Monsieur Valdemar" the narrator conducts an experiment on a man dying of tuberculosis mesmerizing an early form of hypnosis him shortly before his impending death. The man is kept in a trance-like state somewhere between life and death for months until the trance is broken and his body rapidly decays. The story was first published simultaneously in Broadway Journal and American Review: A Whig Journal in December of 1845 without any statement that it was fiction which led many readers to believe that it was a retelling of a true event. In "The Story of Hop-Frog" the title character is a dwarf and jester for a cruel and joke-loving king. When the king abuses Hop-Frog's friend a young girl named Trippetta Hop-Frog plots a fiery revenge against the king and his seven loyal ministers. "Hop-Frog" was first published in 1849 in The Flag of Our Union newspaper and it has been suggested that the story was Poe's way of taking revenge against his literary critics. .
