I love all his work, needless to say, but the Faust drawings are something else, a world away from the cute fairy scenes of other illustrators. His Swinburne drawings are also worthy of note. Will at A Journey Round My Skull posted scans recently.

You may be pleased to know that, now that I’m checking the Grandma’s Graphics site three years later, they do have the color illustrations up.

I have an edition of Poe with illustrations by many of the great illustrators – Rackham, Beardsley, Doré and Clarke among them, and the Clarke drawings are far and away the ones most in tune with Poe’s macabre style. Perhaps the fact that Poe, too, was of Irish descent might have some bearing on how well Harry Clarke tapped into the writer’s extraordinary imagination.
