1915603092Atlantic City NJ: The Trader Elliott Co 1915. Softcover. Good. First edition. Quarto. Single bifolium with a single-sheet-insert making six pages. Owner name on the front cover a large tear to the insert but the music remains legible bumping to the corners and soiling and rubbing to the exterior a complete but good only copy. For voice and piano featuring a vocal quartet version as well for two tenors baritone and bass. Plate imprint "'Eleanor' - 3." The back cover features a sample of "Meet Me at the Frisco Fair Tango" also by Trader and Elliott with the somewhat humorous note "For sale where you bought this." The front cover states that this song is "based upon the poem of the same name by Edgar Allen Poe" but there is no poem by Poe with such a title there is the poem "Lenore" 1843 originally published as “A Pæan†in 1831 and the short story "Eleanora" 1842 though the lyrics to this song do not match up well with either. If we were to guess the lyrics here are inspired by the idyllic scenes that open "Eleanora" describing our lovers dwelling happily in "The Valley of the Many-Colored Grass" which according to this song appear to exist "deep in the hills of old Tennessee." A novel piece with a unique albeit ambiguous association to the writing of Edgar Allen Poe. OCLC locates only a single holding and it appears to be equally scarce in the trade.

Latimore & Haskell pp. 72-73; Houfe p. 424; Hudson p. 172. ◆One corner rather bumped otherwise A LOVELY COPY--clean fresh and bright internally in a binding remarkably free of the soiling and splaying that usually affects vellum books like this one.<br/> <br/> While Rackham did illustrations for a great many books Houfe observes that he concentrated "particularly on those of a mystical magic or legendary background" a fact that makes his work on Poe's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" a good fit. Arthur Rackham 1867-1939 studied art at Lambeth School where the work of his fellow student Charles Ricketts influenced his development. As Houfe says soon after Rackham joined the staff of "The Westminster Budget" in 1892 he began concentrating "on the illustration of books and . . . very soon established himself as one of the foremost Edwardian illustrators being triumphant in the early 1900s when color printing first enabled him to use subtle tints and muted tones to represent age and timelessness. Rackham's imaginative eye saw all forms with the eyes of childhood and created a world that was half reassuring and half frightening. His sources were primarily Victorian and among them are evidently the works of Cruikshank Doyle Houghton and Beardsley but also the prints of Dürer and Altdorfer." The plates here illustrate some of Poe's best-known stories in a delightfully macabre fashion--including "Masque of the Red Death" "Fall of the House of Usher" and "Murders in the Rue Morgue.".
