About this poster
The 1849 daguerreotype of Poe, shown in its red velvet case, with his name in blackletter, "1809 — 1849" and two lines from "A Dream Within a Dream".
Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston on 19 January 1809 and died in Baltimore on 7 October 1849. This portrait was taken in late May or early June 1849, a few months before his death. It is a daguerreotype, a photograph made on a metal plate, known as the "Annie" daguerreotype.
The poster shows the whole object on a black ground: the open red velvet case, the gilt mat, the oval brass frame, and Poe in the middle with his unruly hair, his moustache and a scarf knotted at his throat. Below, "Edgar Allan Poe" in large bone-white blackletter, "1809 — 1849" in red, then two lines from "A Dream Within a Dream", a poem from 1849:
All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.
Across the top, "Boston 1809" and "Baltimore 1849", the two ends of his life.
The face behind the raven
It belongs above a writing desk, in a library or in a gothic bedroom. Put one of the Raven posters next to it and you have the poet and his poem on the same wall. The 4K-printed PVC board keeps the blacks deep.
Daguerreotype by an unknown maker, in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum (public domain).
More posters of the writer are on the Edgar Allan Poe page, with the whole Gothic world next door.
Printed in Tunisia, paid on delivery.
