Item description from seller

Deluxe limited edition, number 30 of 60 printed, the volume and each accompanying print numbered and signed by the illustrator. The Black Cat, one of the ghastliest of Poe's Gothic tales, investigates insanity and the psychology of guilt. It was first published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1843, the same year as The Tell-Tale Heart, which shares similar themes. Alan James Robinson is the artist-director of the Cheloniidae Press and has produced the artworks for each of the Press's publications since its inception in 1979. He is particularly recognized for his realistic yet characterful depictions of animal and sea life. Large octavo, pages french-folded and untrimmed, text printed in red and black. With 11 wood engravings. [Together with] 11 wood engravings and 1 drypoint etching on loose single sheets (241 x 159 mm), signed and numbered by the illustrator, accompanied by [iv] pp. french-folded booklet printed in red and black, housed in black cloth chemise. Original black quarter morocco, spine lettered in gilt, handmade paper sides. Housed together with engravings and etchings in custom solander box. A fine copy; accompanying prints in fine condition.…
