With their beautiful bookplate to the front pastedown. Harry Clarke March 17 18891931 was an Irish stained glass artist and book illustrator. Born in Dublin he was a leading figure in the Irish Arts and Crafts Movement. The son of a craftsman Joshua Clarke Clarke the younger was exposed to art and in particular Art Nouveau at an early age. He went to school in Belvedere College in Dublin. By his late teens he was studying stained glass at the Dublin Art School. While there his The Consecration of St. Mel Bishop of Longford by St. Patrick won the gold medal for stained glass work in the 1910 Board of Education National Competition. Completing his education in his main field Clarke travelled to London where he sought employment as a book illustrator. Picked up by London publisher Harrap he started with two commissions which were never completed: Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner his work on which was destroyed during the 1916 Easter Rising and an illustrated edition of Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock. Difficulties with these projects made Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen his first printed work however in 1916a title that included 16 colour plates and more than 24 monotone illustrations. This was closely followed by an illustrations for an edition of Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination: the first version of that title was restricted to monotone illustrations while a second iteration with 8 colour plates and more than 24 monotone images was published in 1923. The latter of these made his reputation as a book illustrator this was during the golden age of gift-book illustration in the first quarter of the twentieth century: Clarke's work can be compared to that of Aubrey Beardsley Kay Nielsen and Edmund Dulac. It was followed by editions of The Years at the Spring containing 12 colour plates and more than 14 monotone images; Lettice D'O. Walters ed. 1920 Charles Perrault's Fairy Tales of Perrault and Goethe's Faust containing 8 colour plates and more than 70 monotone and duotone images New York: Hartsdale House1925. The last of these is perhaps his most famous work and prefigures the disturbing imagery of 1960s psychedelia. Two of his most sought-after titles include promotional booklets for Jameson Irish Whiskey: A History of a Great House 1924 and subsequent reprints and Elixir of Life 1925 which was written by Geofrey Warren. His final book was Selected Poems of Algernon Charles Swinburne which was published in 1928. In the meantime he had also been working hard in stained glass producing more than 130 windows he and his brother Walter having taken over his father's studio after his death in 1921.

Edgar Allan Poe 1809-1849 is a pioneering writer of weird fiction. His intense focus on the psychology of terror his mastery of both psychological and supernatural horror and his utilization of a dense frenetic and hypnotic prose style have made him not merely a master of the weird tale but the virtual founder of the short story.<br /> This volume contains all the major weird works of Poe from such early tales as "Metzengerstein" and "Berenice" to such masterworks as "Ligeia" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" to such late stories as "The Cask of Amontillado" and "Hop-Frog." Poe’s one novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym is included as is his landmark detective story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" which features a considerable dose of physical horror. In addition many of Poe’s weird poems — "The City in the Sea" "The Raven" "Ulalume" "Annabel Lee" and others — are included. The most accurate and authoritative texts are used and the volume concludes with a bibliography of first apparances of all the items included.<br /> The volume is edited by S. T. Joshi a leading authority on weird fiction. Joshi is the author of The Weird Tale 1990The Modern Weird Tale 2001 and Unutterable Horror: A History of Supernatural Fiction 2012 and he has prepared editions of the work of H.P. Lovecraft Lord Dunsany Arthur Machen Ambrose Bierce and many other weird writers. Centipede Press hardcover
1929170781Paris: Émile-Paul Frères 1929. Signed limited edition out of series this copy printed on japon for Yves and Georges Normandy to whom the translator has inscribed the half-title: "À mes très cher amis Yves et Georges Normandy de tout cur Armand Godoy". The frontispiece is signed by Lydis a Paris-based artist acclaimed by the avant-garde who fled France as the Nazis closed in. Mariette Lydis 1887-1970 settled in Paris in 1926. She excelled in several mediums including painting draughtsmanship and printing and regularly combined techniques: in this case she paired etching with aquatint. Her artwork "often exuded a sense that her subjects are anxious or dreaming" Artnet making her an ideal candidate to provide a frontispiece for Poe's oblique and tormented poem. "Books were Lydis's most important medium many published during the Parisian years in which she produced her best and most enigmatic work" Croft & Jones p. 3. Cuban by birth the translator Armand Godoy 1880-1964 believed French was the language best suited to poetry. He composed many Symbolist poems in his second preferred language. The recipient of this copy Georges Ségaut alias Normandy 1882-1946 was a journalist writer and literary critic. In 1919 he married the dancer Germaine Aymos 1887-1930 who became famous following her 1907 performance at the Moulin Rouge in which she appeared on stage wearing only three shells. She was arrested for public indecency and met Normandy while he reported on her trial and defended her actions in the press. She changed her name to Yves following her marriage and began a new career as a journalist. The edition comprised 1501 numbered copies. Quarto pp. 32. Etched and aquatint frontispiece signed by Lydis title page printed in red and black. Uncut in original grey printed wrappers. With original glassine. Foot of spine splitting contents lightly foxed glassine wrapper chipped and creased at extremities: a very good copy. Justin Croft & Cult Jones Mariette Lydis: Dreams and Destiny 2023. unknown
