Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Poe, Edgar Allan | illustrated by Harry Clarke - 1933

New York: Tudor Publishing Co, 1933. Hard Cover. Very Good+ binding/Very Good+ dust jacket. Quarto. 412, [1] pp., plates. First edition, thus. Black cloth with pictorial label on the front cover and spine titled in gold; in publisher's dust jacket. Modern box using the pictorial top originally issued; all 32 full-page plates (8 of which are tipped on color illustrations) are present as called for. Only minor shelf-rubbing to the binding; contents are clean and plates are bright. Only two of the tipped on color plates have small creases to a corner; the dust jacket is uncharacteristically crisp with only very minor edgewear; the box lid has some separation starting at the corner, but remains solid. Originally issued by Brenato's, this is the first Tudor edition, closely following the format of the original. An uncharacteristically bright, clean copy of this classic edition of Poe's tales illustrated by the Irish illustrator.
