About this Item

The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe, Illustrated by Alice Neel [THE LIMITED EDITIONS CLUB]. POE, Edgar Allen. New York, The Limited Editions Club: 1985. Large quarto. Limited to 1,500 copies signed by both Alice Neel and Raphael Soyer, of which this is copy number 795. Alice Neel passed way during production so this is scarce since signed by both. 32 pgs. Illustrated with color and in black and white plates throughout. Illustrated with two color lithographs and an etching by Alice Neel, with a tribute to Neel by Raphael Soyer. Housed in a black clamshell box (slightly sunned) with a morocco title label lettered in gilt on the front panel. Bound in quarter maroon Nigerian goatskin over matching marble paper covered boards. Yapped edges. A near fine copy, complete with monthly letter and housed in publisher's original slipcase. This example of Poe's classic tale was printed by the Anthoensen Press on mould-made paper, designed by Ben Shiff and hand-set by Michael and Winifred Bixler. The bound copies were bound by John Isakovics in hand-marbled paper by Faith Harrison. Alice Neel died shortly before the publication of this volume and the images are dark and exceptional and include her stunning skull "self-portrait". The printer brought blank pages to Neel to sign and she signed approximately 400 of them before she passed. Scarce. Seller Inventory # ABE-1722898779835
