This was a giveaway I hosted that is no longer active but the photos will reflect the beauty of this Edward Allan Poe collection:
Matt Hughes channeled this perspective of dark beauty for the haunting illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe: This and Nothing More Illuminated Edition.
The forward of the book is written by Chris Semtner, Curator of the Edgar Allan Poe Museum of Richmond, Virginia.
"Art Nouveau meets Edgar Poe in Matt Hughes’s new illustrations that perfectly pair the organic forms, subtle coloration, and exquisite lines of the Belle Époque with the beauty, music, and rich symbolism of Poe’s poems."- Chris Semtner
This timeless 1897 classic is the second in our three-part series of Classic Horror Creations. Each page of this edition is beautifully decorated in the traditional style of artists from the early to mid-1900s, such as Edmund Dulac and Arthur Rackham, and accompanied by six tipped-in color plates which focus on crucial moments of the reader's journey.
