Original bright orange silk-patterned buckram cloth, with a gilt-stamped wood engraving by John Buckland Wright on the front cove. Gilt lettering to spine.Top edge trimmed, other edges untrimmed as issued. No dustjacket. First edition thus. This is number 37 of 175 copies printed on Barcham Green hand-made paper (total edition limited to 206 copies). A highlight of 20th-century private press printing and Dutch typographer A.A.M. Stols’ Halcyon Press. Magnificently illustrated with 10 original wood engravings (including frontispiece) by John Buckland Wright, that perfectly capturing Poe’s gothic macabre atmosphere. All wood-engravings remain exceptionally crisp and dark and are printed on ‘EA Poe’ watermarked paper. The binding is firm with light wear to spine ends and tears to top and bottom of joints. Spine lettering a bit faded. The interior is in very fine condition: no marks or inscriptions, stains or foxing. 26,5 x 28,3 cm. 170 pp.
