Poe Edgar Allan; Symons Arthur Introduction; Alastair Illustrations
The Fall of the House of Usher
Paris: Editions Narcisse printed by Lescaret 1928. Limited Edition. Wraps. Near fine. Alastair. No. 4 of of 300 copies quarto size 77 pp. Edgar Allan Poe 1809-1849 remains to this day a household name a master of mystery and the macabre. "Most famously Poe completely transformed the genre of the horror story with his masterful tales of psychological depth and insight not envisioned in the genre before his time and scarcely seen in it since. Stories like 'The Tell-Tale Heart' 'The Cask of Amontillado' 'The Pit and the Pendulum' 'The Masque of the Red Death' and 'The Fall of the House of Usher' reveal Poe's talent at its height" n.b. from the web site of the Poe Museum. <br/><br/>This short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" first published in 1839 in "Gentleman's Magazine" is thought by many to be based on certain events which took place at an actual house in Boston the "Hezekiah Usher House"; when the house was torn down in 1830 "two bodies were found embraced in a cavity in the cellar" n.b. from Wiki. <br/><br/>With illustrations by "Alastair" the nickname used by Hans Henning Otto Harry Baron von Voight 1887-1969 a highly-talented man who in addition to being an artist was also a composer and dancer. His illustrations are heavily influenced by Aubrey Beardsley with the look of Art Nouveau often with a "perverse and sinister" feel - which perfectly compliments this text by Poe. <br/><br/>The publisher of this volume "Editions Narcisse" was the name chosen for their first publishing venture by Harry Crosby 1898-1929 and his wife Caresse 1891-1970 who would later found the renowned Black Sun Press "one of the most important small presses in Paris in the 1920s" Wiki. The story behind Harry and Caresse is one of love and scandal against the backdrop of WWI and the Jazz Age of Paris; Crosby met Ernest Hemingway in 1926 while skiing in Gstaad and in 1927 they visited Pamplona together for the running of the bulls. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: String-bound with self-wraps the front wrap with lettering in red and black red and black ruled borders back wrap with publisher's device in red and a single black ruled border fore- and bottom edges uncut title page in red and black which mirrors the front wrap two initial capitals and sectional title in red all text in italics the five illustrations by Alastair bound throughout in shades of black and red tissue-guarded tipped onto silver-covered heavy paper; while the text is in English the colophon is in French this one of 300 copies printed on Holland Van Gelder paper there were also seven HC copies and one unique copy with an extra suite of prints; quarto size 10.25" by 7 1/8" pagination: i-iv half-title and title pages I-XIX Introduction by Symons XX blank 1-50 51-52 blanks 53 colophon. <br/><br/>___CONDITION: Near fine the wraps free of soil although with some toning the corners gently bent a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior is clean and bright and entirely free of prior owner markings; professional restoration to the wrapper spine invisible a few very light spots on the half-title page some small wear to the fore-edge one of the five illustrations missing the tissue guard lacking the original glassine jacket. Still a lovely copy of one of Poe's best stories by an important Paris printer of the interwar period. <br/><br/>___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. <br/><br/>___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

Poe Edgar Allan; Arakawa Artist
Eureka A Prose Poem; An Essay on the Material and Spiritual Universe
San Francisco: The Arion Press 1991. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Arakawa. No. 95 of 276 copies folio size 119 pp. signed by Arakawa. "Eureka" a substantial essay on the nature of the universe is a later work by Edgar Allan Poe 1809-1849 published a year before he died. Best known for his Gothic and Romantic short stories and poems especially "The Raven" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" Poe named this work a "prose poem" and he brings poetic sensibilities to his intuitive search for truth in the cosmos. The text has been interpreted numerous ways partly because Poe's seriousness in the essay has been questioned by some due for example to his jocular treatment of historical figures.<br/><br/>Illustrating this Arion Press edition is Japanese artist and architect Arakawa 1936-2010 who takes excerpts of the text and overlays geometric symbols and patterns simultaneously clarifying and obfuscating meaning.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Full light brown cloth grey wraparound ruled borders orange and grey lettering on the both boards and spine fore- and bottom edges uncut photo-engravings based on drawings on mylar by Arakawa in grey and black throughout; Walbaum and handset Bodoni Book types Waterford paper folio size 13.75" by 10" pagination: i-ii iii-ix x 1-4 5-107 108 1 colophon one of 276 copies this number 95 signed by Arakawa on the colophon. With original subscriber's invoice one sheet with two folds for mailing tucked in a clear plastic sleeve.<br/><br/>___CONDITION: Volume is fine with clean boards straight corners with no rubbing a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior is clean and bright and entirely free of prior owner markings; slight discolouration to the paste-down endpapers from the linen sewing tapes else fine. The subscriber's invoice is fine clean and without wear.<br/><br/>___CITATION: Arion Press Catalogue no. 35.<br/><br/>___POSTAGE: Â Please note that this is an unusually large and heavy book therefore additional postage may apply; please inquire for details.<br/><br/>___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

Poe Edgar Allan. Edmund Dulac illustrator
The Bells and Other Poems
London: Hodder & Stoughton 1912. First trade edition. Original grey-green cloth gilt stamped on front cover with all-over Dulac design of clusters of bells and lettered in gilt. Spine lettered in gilt and with similar design. Unpaginated. Twenty-eight color plates with descriptive tissue guards. Ten black ink head-pieces on tan backgrounds and portrait of Poe on the title-page also in black ink on tan background. An excellent copy.<br/><br/>"Dulac's pictures for The Bells were more uniform in mood and style than groupings for almost any other book of his to this time. Although water colours they are overstreaked with gilt in some cases crayon in others to produce rich haunting effects. Deep shades of blue and a special deep pink-rust predominate throughout.The Outlook commented: 'sometimes Dulac's pictures are deep-coloured and intense sometimes dim and ghost-like. But one and all are sensitized to record impressions of unearthly beauty or horror. Only Poe could have written the poems. Only Dulac could have illustrated them'.As the 10 Bells headpieces show he had now become truly masterful with his pen" Hughey.<br/><br/>Hughey 29a. Hodder & Stoughton unknown books

Poe Edgar A.
The Journal of Julius Rodman
San Francisco: The Colt Press 1947 First book appearance of this work. Limited to 500 copies printed by the Grabhorn Press. Small quarto. 82pp. Seven color wood engravings by Mallette Dean. Handset Oxford type. Cloth-backed decorated boards paper spine label printed in blue and brown. A fine copy. This uncompleted journal originally appeared in 1840 in Burton's Gentleman's Magazine of which Poe was then editor. It appears that the "Journal" might be a made-up diary based on an account by John K. Townsend who in 1839 published a Narrative of a Journey across the Rocky Mountains. Other scholars contend that Poe's work might be based on an earlier trip of exploration into the interior regions of the North American continent not necessarily Townsend's account.

Poe Edgar Allan
Tamerlane and Other Poems
Baltimore: Wirth 1939. Facsimile. Facsimile. Very Good. Half inch tear and small tear on rear wrapper edge. 1939 Small Softcover. 40 pp. Facsimile of original. Likely the "typeface facsimile printed by Wirth Baltimore 1939. This facsimile has no identifying marks or imprint. According to a statement by Ferdinand F. Wirth provided on October 7 1977 to Alexander G. Rose of the Poe Society of Baltimore the edition was 1500 copies." "The poems many of which had a theme of youth were inspired in part by the works of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The largest inspiration on Poe however came from the work of Lord Byron; the character of the title poem "Tamerlane" has a daughter named "Ada" named after Byron's own daughter Ada Lovelace. Poe admired Byron both for his poetry and for his rebellious personality. John Allan blamed Poe's interest in Byron for his licentiousness. Some biographers suggest that Poe's wandering to Boston and joining the Army represent a need to live like an outcast inspired by Byron. The title poem "Tamerlane" depicts a dying conqueror who regrets leaving his childhood sweetheart and his home to pursue his ambitions. In its original form "Tamerlane" based on the historical Timur was 406 lines. The choice of an eastern character was unusual for a westerner at the time though Byron Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand Thomas Moore and others had written other Orientalist works. Autobiographical overtones suggest Poe based the poem on the loss of his own early love Sarah Elmira Royster or of his birth mother Eliza Poe. The poem may also mirror Poe's relationship with his foster father John Allan; similar to Poe Tamerlane is of uncertain parentage with a "feigned name". The "other poems" which Poe admitted "perhaps savour too much of egotism; but they were written by one too young to have any knowledge of the world but from his own breast". These poems present the poet as solitary figure who was faced some unnamed transforming childhood event. Poe adopted some of the common themes of the day including imagery of heavenly bliss and angelic beauty. He steps away from the typical use of didacticism of the time and instead focuses on psychological reverie and symbolist aesthetics beginning his lifelong poetic refusal to write for the masses. Poe would continue to revisit themes of death beauty love and pride in his later works. He would later rewrite one poem "Imitation" as "A Dream Within a Dream" and use images from "Evening Star" in "Ulalume". [Wirth] unknown books
