EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph from 1882 showcases the cover of "Contes Grotesques" by the renowned American author, Edgar Allan Poe. The French School of the 19th century beautifully illustrates this edition, which is now part of a private collection. The image transports us to a mysterious world as we gaze through an ornate window frame onto a scene that seems straight out of one of Poe's haunting tales. A book lies open on a table, its pages filled with dark stories and chilling poems. The complete works are elegantly edited and adorned with intricate engravings that add to the gothic atmosphere. A raven perches atop the book, symbolizing both wisdom and foreboding - an iconic figure often associated with Poe's writings. This illustration captures the essence of his macabre imagination, inviting readers into his twisted narratives. Emile Ollendorff, known for his expertise in publishing foreign literature in France during this period, serves as editor for this edition. Paul-Allan Hennequin skillfully engraves each detail on the cover, bringing life to Poe's grotesque tales. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded once again why Edgar Allan Poe remains an enduring figure in literary history – his ability to evoke fear and fascination through words continues to captivate audiences even over a century later.
