POE, Edgar Allan “The Raven” [Harper & Brothers, 1884] Gustave Doré

POE, Edgar Allan. The Raven.

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1884. Folio format (18.5 x 14.5 inches). Illustrated by Gustave Doré, with all plates present. Publisher’s pictorial boards. Corners rubbed; three small spots to the right side of the front board; occasional light spotting to the text. Hinges secure and binding tight. Very Good.

A monumental illustrated edition of Poe’s most famous poem, pairing the text with Gustave Doré’s haunting full-page engravings—among the most iconic visual interpretations of The Raven ever produced. Issued in an impressive large folio format, the scale allows Doré’s dramatic compositions to fully unfold, from funereal landscapes to richly detailed interior scenes. A complete and well-preserved copy of one of the most desirable 19th-century illustrated Poe editions.
