6251. Poe, Edgar Allan / Clarke, Harry.

Tales of Mystery and Imagination. Illustrated by Harry Clarke. [With eight tipped-in-plates in colour, 24 black-and-white illustrations and several illustrations throughout the text].

Fourth Edition of the 1919 publication. London / Bombay / Sydney, George G. Harrap & Co., 1928. 4°. (21.5 cm wide x 27.7 cm high). 381 pages with all the stunning colour-plates and black-and-white-plates in place but page 15/16 and the relevant illustration cleanly detached. Hardcover with restored original dustjacket / Original full cloth-binding with gilt lettering/illustrated spine. Top edge gilt. A stunning, absolutely unusually firm and clean binding, nearly with no flaws, very unusual for the original 1928-edition. Tight and clean example of one of the most beautiful macabre art nouveau-publications. All illustrations by Harry Clarke in excellent condition. The restored dustjacket in protective Mylar. When we speak of “restored” we mean in this case parts of the original dustjacket’s spine and frontcover were pasted on black paper in style of the time. The absolutely best example of this work we ever handled, despite the detached layer of pages.
