The Bells and Other Poems (1912)

Illustrated by Edmund Dulac

 

 

 

On the left, we show a rare copy of the 1st Edition

of The Bells and Other Poems with illustrations by

Edmund Dulac - published by Hodder & Stoughton

(London).

 

This example retains the original elaborately embossed

and gilt-stamped beige cloth cover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

The deluxe presentation of Dulac's illustrations to The Bells and Other Poems contains many stunning images befitting

the unique works of Poe. The images are watercolours, but were treated by Dulac with a variety of methods - 

including overstreaking with gilt or crayon - to produce the rich haunting effects that are clear throughout.

 

One review of the illustration published in The Outlook in 1912 stated:

... for the book, thinking people will say with grace, "Sometimes Dulac's pictures

are deep-coloured and intense, sometimes dim and ghost-like. But one and all

are sensitized to record impressions of unearthly beauty or horror. Only Poe

could have written the poems. Only Dulac could have illustrated them". Not

to be overlooked here are the sophisticated ink drawings Dulac made for the

headpieces. Although many of the books he illustrated had small ink decorations

throughout - he had not worked in this medium so fluently since the days of

the doing illustrations for The Pall Mall magazine (1906-08).

 

As the 10 Bells headpieces show, he has now become truly masterful with his pen.

Similarly, we have prepared sets of 10 Greeting Cards displaying each of Dulac's monotone images for The Bells and Other Poems and on the left, we show an example of how these Greeting Cards appear. Again, ordering one of those sets is as easy as selecting the "Add to Cart" feature below and following the prompts provided with our Shopping Cart secured through PayPal.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-in plates - in homage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century.

 

Hand-finishing is used to replicate the visual appearance of a tipped-in plate and the images are presented on

Ivory card stock (in the case of colour illustrations) or White card stock (in the case of monotone illustrations)

with an accompanying envelope. We have left the cards blank so that you may write your own personal

message.

 

Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print of one or more of these images, we have provided some

options below. Of course, should you wish to discuss some customised options, we welcome your contact

on any matter through ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.

 

In the meantime, enjoy perusing these wonderful images from Edmund Dulac.
