Phantasia and The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe. Arion Press Limited Edition, Signed by Natalie Frank.

Phantasia and The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe Arion Press edition of this curated selection of poems and stories by Edgar Allan Poe in an edition equal to the 19th-century master of the macabre.

Limited to 250 Fine Press copies signed by Frank at the colophon, of which this is number 74. Housed in the original slipcase and including the
