"Two women have been brutally slain inside a locked fourth-floor room and yet one's body is outside the other is disturbingly and firmly stuffed up the chimney. Writing at a time before the term "detective" was coined Poe drew on no pre-existing trope of drawing room logical revelation. Such a conceit is now so overwhelmingly prevalent it's hard to imagine a time when it had yet to bore its way into any written story. Poe's Dupin defines the archetype applying logic objective facts and reason to solve the case in dramatic fashion." - Swanns Auction <br> Provenance: From the library of Edgar S.

890 - 581 - 072<p><em>First edition of Harry Clarke's surreal gothic Art Nouveau illustrations in the scarce dust jacket</em></p><p><strong>Publisher and Year:</strong> London: George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd. 1919<br />-<br /><strong>Edition: </strong>First trade edition first printing MCMXIX on the title page of Harry Clarke's illustrated collection of Edgar Allan Poe's stories. Copies in the dust jacket are scarce. We could locate just seven appearances of the jacket on the market in commercial records which included a review of Rare Book Hub the ABSA database WorthPoint and the major auction sites. <br />-<br /><strong>Condition and Description: </strong>Large quarto 10.75" x 8.75" olive cloth stamped in black and gilt top edge gilt with all 24 plates and additional in-text vignettes by Harry Clarke present. An uncommonly well-preserved example with clean boards bright gilt and undisturbed stamping. Minimal surface and edgewear foredge tips bumped.

The incredibly scarce jacket is a little shorter than the book as issued with tears to the front panel neatly reinforced on the verso with tape edgewear and darkening especially at the spine. A large visually arresting volume that commands presence on shelf or display.<br />-<br /><em>"Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality." – Edgar Allan Poe The Premature Burial. </em></p><p>Clarke's illustrations give form to the world of horror Poe conjured amplifying their impact through a visual language as ornate and unsettling as the tales themselves. Born in Dublin in 1889 Clarke trained as both an illustrator and stained-glass artist and became one of the central figures of the Irish Arts and Crafts Movement. By the time <em>Tales of Mystery and Imagination</em> appeared in 1919 he was already celebrated for his intricate jewel-like stained glass. In this first major book commission he brought that same precision and Symbolist intensity to twenty-four monochrome plates. Drawing on Art Nouveau line work and Gothic sensibility Clarke created images that seem to inhabit Poe's world rather than merely depict it producing nightmarish visions that have secured his place as one of the defining illustrators of the early twentieth century.<br />-<br />Inventory ID: 890 - 581 - 072</p> hardcover
