E.A. Poe’s “The Raven (1884)” online

Eine besonders schöne und gesuchte Ausgabe von Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” ist die illustrierte Ausgabe von Gustave Doré (1884). Sie ist hier digitalisiert online (via openculture.com):

“One might say that Poe suffered the opposite fate—recognized as a great artist in his lifetime, he never achieved financial stability. We learn from the Penn State Rare Collections library that Doré received the rough equivalent of $140,000 for his illustrated edition of “The Raven.” Poe, on the other hand, was paid approximately nine dollars for his most famous poem.”
