réf. 06390London: George G. Harrap & Co. 1923. Harry Clarke Illustrates Edgar Allan Poe The First Trade Edition with Color Plates CLARKE Harry illustrator. POE Edgar Allan. Tales of Mystery and Imagination. London: George G. Harrap & Co. & New York: Brentano's n.d. 1923. First color edition. Quarto 10 1/2 x 7 7/8 inches; 267 x 200 mm. 381 3 pp. Eight color plates mounted on gray card twenty-four black and white plates twenty-six vignettes including thirteen repeats. Publisher's black cloth front cover with mounted plate of Morella spine decoratively stamped and lettered in gilt plain endpapers top edge stained black others untrimmed minimal rubbing to corners. Small booksellers label on rear paste-down endpapers slightly browned. Still an excellent gilt-bright copy of an edition so beloved and well-read it has rarely survived in anything better than very good condition. From the library of Adams T. Rice with his striking Art-Deco pictorial bookplate on front paste-down featuring gears lightning and a theatrical mask - imagery suggestive of the machine-age optimism of the 1920s and perhaps reflecting the owner's connection with engineering or industrial technology. Adams T. Rice neat signature on front free endpaper. Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen was Harry Clarke's 1889-1931 first printed work. This was closely followed by 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 eight color 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 illustrated gift-books in the first quarter of the twentieth century and Clarke's work can be favorably compared to that of Aubrey Beardsley Kay Nielsen and Edmund Dulac. "Tales of Mystery was the greatest commercial success of all Clarke's illustrated books especially the colour plate edition with reprints being done on a regular basis for a few years" Steenson.

1933réf. 20111New York: Tudor Publishing Co. Printed by J.J. Little & Ives Company New York 1933. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Cloth. Lidded box. Fine/Near Fine. Box: Very Good Plus. Clarke Harry. 4to. 27 by 21.5 cm. 412 1 pp. With 32 plates none of which are mounted onto leaves. Plates not counted in the pagination and the backs of their leaves are blank. Clarke's illustrations for this work are today his best known and his style clearly inspired by Beardsley serves the material perfectly making them possibly the most popular illustrations connected with Poe's short stories. The book's cloth has a few indistinct or inconspicuous stains on the front cover. The dust jacket has light edgewear. The front and back cover of the dust jacket have faint vague white chalky spotting and lines -- given that the cover is black staining shows itself if it does as lighter. That said we think few would have concern for this issue which is truly trivial. We suspect that one could probably remove most of this but we ourselves think it best not to mess with things here. The box is structurally sound. The paper pastedown on the lid top has one small abrasion and some very light dusty soiling here and there. Notwithstanding these issue points we believe most would find the entire package close to pristine. Tudor Publishing Co. Printed by J.J. Little & Ives Company, New York hardcover

1852réf. 0002046Baltimore Maryland MD 1852. On offer is an original manuscript legal document from 1852 from Baltimore Maryland detailing the failure of one party to construct several houses on Oregon Street according to the contract. There are signatures of Thomas Willis George H. Stewart and John P. Poe who witnessed the document. We believe John was the nephew of the poet Edgar Allen Poe through his mother Josephine Clemm a sister of Virginia Clemm Edgar's wife as well as also being a second cousin of Poe through his father. John Poe's father Neilson Poe was responsible for finding Edgar Allan Poe sick just before he died and helping to bury him even though Poe had despised him for opposing his marriage to Virginia. As such this document makes for a very interesting piece of Baltimore history from shortly after Edgar Allan Poe's death. John Prentiss Poe went on to become Attorney General of Maryland. Another significant signature is of George H. Steuart sometimes Stewart who we believe is either the famous Confederate Civil War general from Baltimore George H. Steuart 1828-1903 a Confederate brigadier General or his father Major General George H. Steuart 1790-1867 served during the War of 1812 and also during the Civil War as a militia general who ordered Maryland's militia troops to fight the Federal troops in some of the first action of the Civil War. The younger Steuart led troops at battles at First Bull Run Shenandoah Cross Keys Gettysburg Payne's Farm Wilderness Spotsylvania Petersburg and Appomattox. VG. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
