Harry Clarke, Illustrations for E. A. Poe
Harry Clarke was a celebrated figure in the Irish Arts and Crafts Movement. Although stained glass work was central in his career, he was also an accomplished book illustrator. His use of heavy lines in his black and white book illustrations is probably derived from his glass techniques.
Clarke's work was influenced by both Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. His stained glass was particularly informed by the French Symbolist movement, so it's no wonder E.A Poe chose Harry Clarke to hauntingly illustrate "Tales of Mystery and Imagination".

Květa Pacovska
Born in Prague in 1928, Květa Pacovská began her career as an illustrator, specializing in three-dimensional works and children’s stories. Her peculiar collage like images incorporate geometric and abstract shapes often based on the use of linguistic signs in which letters and numbers merge with creatures and musical instruments.
