This reference tool gives ready access to Poe's works and their
great influence on the graphic arts. The book's long introduction gives a
historical survey of Poe illustration with seventeen pictures included.
The 1625 main entries offer full detail of all the books, portfolios,
separately published prints, and easel paintings; all of which
illustrate or interpret almost 150 tales and poems of Poe. The book
makes varied material available to students of Poe, art history, the
graphic arts, and to teachers on every level seeking pictures to enliven
approaches to the reading of Poe.
