Includes illustrations for The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death, and The Fall of the House of Usher. "In late December 1893 the Chicago publisher Stone and Kimballmissioned Beardsley to provide illustrations for the 'Tales' section of the large paper version of Poe's collected works. The four designs hepleted appeared not in the volumes themselves, but in a separate, undated, portfolio, about which there is uncertainty regarding the number of copies produced. In his authoritative history of the firm, Sidney Kramer makes no mention of the Beardsley portfolio, but does describe an entirely different (but identically bound) portfolio containing 18 engravings by mid-19th-century French artists. Kramer connects this to the Japan paper 'edition' apparently reserved for the Poe set's collaborators and never offered for sale. Gallatin at first believed that the Beardsley portfolio formed part of the large paper issue (250 copies on handmade paper) but later, in the Princeton catalogue hepiled with Alexander Wainwright, concluded that it 'apanied the Japan paper issue which consisted of only ten sets.' As evidence that Gallatin was correct, Warrack and Perkins cite the portfolio's scarcity; they located just six copies..."
