Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, Including Some Poems Not Hitherto Introduced in His Works. 

By Edgar Allan Poe

Published by Henry L. Williams, New York in 1882

7.5" x 5" Full leather binding (alligator skin). 194pp. (9 bound-in Illustrations and 2 bound-in letter facsimile pages not included in this count). Good condition. 

Wear to the cover, particularly near the spine, which has led to loss of portions of the title card affixed to the spine. Slightly offset. Front boards in the early stages of separation from the text block. 

Full leather binding in alligator skin. All edges gilt. Decorative flower endpapers. 9 woodblock illustrations throughout the text depict moments from Edgar Allan Poe's life as well as scenes from within his poems. Additionally there are two facsimiles reproduced within the text, one which is a letter from Poe to Mrs. Marie Louise Shew, the other a poem draft of "The Bells". 

A vibrant and interesting collection of Edgar Allan Poe's poetic works alongside an illustrated memoir of the author with original notes and explanatory remarks to the poems. Attractively covered in a surprisingly supple alligator skin, this book is the perfect addition to any Poe fan's collection.
