- Lot Description
This book is titled Tales of Mystery And Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe, and it was illustrated by Arthur Rackham and published in London by George G. Harrap in 1935. It is a limited edition of only 460 copies ever published, it is number 336 of the 460 copies, and it is signed by Rackham on the limitation page.
Edgar Allan Poe was one of the greatest mystery writers of all time, and Arthur Rackham (1867 - 1939) was an English artist who was one of the leading figures of the Golden Age of British book illustration, and his best known works include illustrations for Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm.
The book is done in vellum, with gilt lettering and gilt decorations on the spine, gilt lettering and a gilt image on the cover which shows a skeleton holding a dagger, ghoulish endpapers in black and white, the half-title, the limitation page signed by Rackham, the frontispiece with a captioned tissue guard, then the title page, the copyright page dated 1935, two pages of Contents (from 5 to 6), a list of Illustrations in color and in line (black and white) that run from pages 7 to 8, 318 pages of text, the top edge is gilt, and it is considered a first edition because there is only one date listed on the copyright page with no additional printings.
The book measures 10 5/8 x 8 1/8 inches wide, and it is clean and tight inside. All twelve color plates and tissue guards are present, as well as the seventeen black and white line drawings. There are brown spots on the front and rear covers, the plates and tissue guards are very clean, as are the black and white drawings, there is a slight crease at one tip on the rear endpapers, and that’s it.
A very desirable book illustrated by one of the best artists of all time.
