Fun Fact! Not only has Clarke signed and dated this illustration, he also wrote the
above quote from Poe's story on the back.

‘Not hear it?—yes, I hear it, and have heard it. Long—long—long—many minutes, many hours, many days, have I heard it…’ 🕷️💀

We’re continuing our #SpookySeason theme with this haunting #HarryClarke illustration of a scene from ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’! 🦇

A watercolour image in primarily weak, watered down colours that has pops of deeper colour; the illustration is done almost in three sections. At the top, two men (whose clothes have the deepest colouring of the whole illustration) lean over a book, with horrified looks on their faces. Below the table their book is resting on, grotesque monsters, bats, flies, and spiders mingle, with gnashing teeth and dripping claws. Underneath them, trying to lift a slab off herself, is a naked, pale woman with a gaunt face. All of the figures are slightly exaggerated and distorted.The back of the illustration, showing some signs of age, but mostly clear except for two sections of handwritten text. At the top, written slightly diagonally, is 'Yes, I hear it, and have heart it. Long - long - long - many minutes - many hours, many days have I heard it.' This is underlined, and beneath it is written 'The Fall of the House of Usher.' Further down on the page, Harry Clarke has signed the paper, with the year 1923 below his signature.

#HarryClarke’s original pen-and-ink illustration for Poe’s Ligeia has been in @crawfordartgallery.bsky.social’s collection since 1924. We also have The Pit and Pendulum, and watercolours for The Fall of the House of Usher, Marie Rogêt, and The Colloquy of Monos and Una 🖤
