Tales of Mystery and Imagination (In Dustjacket and Publisher's Original Box)
New York: Tudor Publishing Co., 1933. Harry Clarke. Pictorial cloth. A lovely copy of the 1933 1st thus, the first merging of Poe's immortal text with Harry Clarke's breathtaking illustrations. Clean and easily Near Fine to Fine, down to its immaculate, mounted pictorial label and its completely unrubbed gilt-titling at the spine. And in a crisp, Near Fine dustjacket, with just a touch of almost microscopic creasing along the rear panel's top-edge. All 32 of Harry Clarke's plates present and pristine, with 24 of them appearing within the text and 8 of them full-page mounts in color. And finally, the 2-part pictorial box is sturdy, well-preserved and VG, showing very light scuffing and soiling to the covers of both lids but having also, in its service, protected the book and dustjacket beautifully. Near Fine / Near Fine. Item #26090
