I tweeted about this mercilessly, but in case you don't keep up with my ramblings on Twitter I just wanted to point your attention to Will's recent post about E. McKnight Kauffer's gorgeous set of illustrations for the rare 2-volume set from 1946 titled The Complete Poems and Stories of Edgar Allan Poe. It seems like every corner I turn in Kauffer's oeuvre contains a surprise or two, and this tome shows a great range of Kauffer's work with many pleasant twists and turns of the designer's genre. Hauntingly beautiful ... and perfectly suited to illustrate Poe. (And just in case you aren't already a member, please come join our E. McKnight Kauffer group on Flickr. It really is a fantastic resource, and is crammed full of hard-to-find goodies!)
