Metzengerstein by Wilfried S\u00e4tty.<\/em><\/p>\n One of the horses in yesterday’s post seemed familiar until I realised it had been used by Wilfried S\u00e4tty for his final Metzengerstein<\/em> illustration in The Illustrated Edgar Allan Poe<\/em><\/a> (1976). This has been happening a lot since I started delving into the book scans at the Internet Archive, S\u00e4tty’s collage sources leaping abruptly from old engravings. The horse is a good example of S\u00e4tty’s evolved approach to collage which often reversed the printing of assembled artwork, or used a printing press (or PMT process) to duplicate and mirror his collage elements.<\/p>\n Not all Poe illustrators bother with this Gothic pastiche, and those that do don’t always provide an effective rendering of the climax when the clouds of smoke above a smouldering castle assume the form of a colossal horse. Byam Shaw’s illustration<\/a> is typical, with the horse standing inertly above the flames. S\u00e4tty’s picture only occupies half a page but is much more successful, as are many of the other illustrations in a volume that remains one of the very best Poe collections, and the finest of S\u00e4tty’s books.<\/p>\n Previously on { feuilleton } Metzengerstein by Wilfried S\u00e4tty.
