Item description from seller

This edition is limited to ninety-three signed copies of which this is number 19 [signed]: Robert H. Perdue". 7 7/8 inches x 10 ½ in., signed and numbered limitation page with onionskin/tissue paper overlay, printed in red-brown; design title-page with the overlay; two page introduction by Joseph Leon Gobeille; six design border illustrations printed in black with the red-brown printed border illustrations on onionskin paper overlays loosely inserted; with printed text of The Raven; copyright page. 27 pp. Printed on thin, japan vellum type paper, with the overlays printed on a very thin tissue type paper; sewn into cream-colored paper card covers, with plain, thin japan vellum type paper wrappers over the covers. Outer covers show some age-related tanning, chipping to the paper wrapper of the spine; the overlays to the limitation page and title-page show some slight edge wear with dusting, very light creases. Each overlay is meant to lay flat, facing the black illustration. Very scarce illustrated item, done in the Art Nouveau style, with some Aubrey Beardsley-like details; and produced in Cleveland Ohio. A few words from the introduction, written by a book collector and early member of the Rowfant Club, Joseph Leon Gobeille: “Mr. Robert Hartley Perdue, while claiming no extraordinary knowledge of POESY, is an ardent admirer of these children of mystery [Poe's poems]. In his leisure hours he has made a pen-and-ink folio of the ‘Raven’, using ‘Quarles's’ original lines as a foundation for his labours. Later he made four replicas for bibliophile friends. Mr. Perdue drew his borders as Fancy and Imagination dictated, and incidentally answered some questions which were not truly met by Dore, or any other of our poet's distinguished illustrators. I mention one. How could the shadow of the raven fall upon the floor as pictured by the artists? The lamp is on the table, the bird on the bust of Pallas high above the point of light. Mr. Perdue solves the problem--for his light is in the hall beyond, shining obliquely down through the transom and naturally throws the shadow on the floor where Poe saw it. [-] At the solicitation of the writer, who has in his library No. 1 of the original folios, Mr. Perdue consented to the reproduction of his drawings in a different size. With him it has been a labour of pleasure and study; without emolument or honorarium, and every bibliophile and lover of Poe will give him cheer and compliment for his consent to publish his embellishments for the best loved and most characteristic of Poe's poems.
