Happy birthday to Edgar Allan Poe, born today in Boston, Massachusetts, 1809. Many illustrators have tackled Poe's dark and macabre tales but perhaps none so hauntingly and brilliantly as Irish artist Harry Clarke. See Clarke's exquisite imagery for Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination here: https://publicdomainreview.org/…/harry-clarkes-illustratio…/
“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”—Edgar Allan Poe, "Eleanora"
