ARTHUR RACKHAMPHILADELPHIA: J. B. Lippincott & Co., N. D. c.1935 [published date: 1935]. Rare First edition. 1st Published 1935 stated on the copyright page. 4to. 10\" x 7.75\" inches (LxB). Pp. 318 pages + 12 fine colour plates and 17 line drawings, numerous black and white illustrationsthroughout by Arthur Rackham. First Rackham edition, pictorial endpapers in black and white, fine original contemporary full red cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine & front cover, gilt stamped skeleton decoration to the front board. In 1935 the celebrated artist Arthur Rackham produced another illustrated version ofTales of Mystery and Imagination. The nature of the illustrations associated the tales with the supernatural, even though some tales were not obviously about the supernatural, for example The Gold-Bug or The Elk. Some, as Colum\'s original title suggests, might purely be works penned from Poe\'s vivid imagination, depending on how some of the tales are symbolically interpreted. However the latter category do all still contain the element of suspense that Colum desired, or their narrative is related to the latter tales. Tales of Mystery & Imagination (often rendered as Tales of Mystery and Imagination) is a popular title for works of the American author, essayist and poet Edgar Allan Poe and was the first complete collection of his works specifically restricting itself to his suspenseful and related tales. Poe\'s works received their widest audience posthumously.
The title and compilation of Tales of Mystery and Imagination became a vehicle for delivering Poe\'s works to a wide readership. Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.
Typically, Rackham contributed both colour and monotone illustrations towards the works incorporating his images. Rackham\'s work is often described as a fusion of a northern European \'Nordic\' style strongly influenced by the Japanese woodblock tradition of the early 19th century. Complete as issued. One of Rackham’s scarcer titles. With many of the artist’s best loved and most easily recognized paintings, masterfully crafted. Arthur Rackham is considered one of the great artists from the Golden Age of illustration. He was in a special league with other hugely talented illustrators such as Edmund Dulac, Kay Nielsen and W. Heath Robinson. Rackham\'s work continues to inspire and influence legions of artists. His first edition books are extremely collectible. Rackham is most known for his work for children\'s fairy tales. His first edition books are extremely collectible. Arthur Rackham\'s fanciful imagination gave his illustrations instant recognition, and his dedication to illustration kept him in the public eye for thirty years - (Hodnett, 233).A classic work, complete as issued.
