EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving by Fritz Eichenberg brings to life the enigmatic world of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Mystery of Marie Roget". Published in 1944 as part of a special edition, this print captures the essence of Poe's haunting tale set in 19th-century America. In the illustration, we see a man wearing a top hat and military uniform, reminiscent of Poe himself. This figure represents the protagonist Alan, who delves into the perplexing disappearance and murder case of Maria Roget. With his cane held firmly in hand, he stands at a counter engaged in deep contemplation. The middle-aged man beside him adds an air of mystery to the scene. Eichenberg's attention to detail is evident through his depiction of both men and women present in this illustration. Their expressions convey intrigue and curiosity as they become entangled within Poe's intricate narrative web. The artist skillfully captures the essence of time with period-specific elements such as bicorn hats and traditional attire. These details transport us back to 1842-43 when Poe first published this short story that continues to captivate readers today. As we gaze upon this wood engraving, we are reminded once again why Edgar Allan Poe remains one of America's most celebrated literary figures. Through Eichenberg's artistry, we are invited into a world where mystery lurks around every corner, leaving us eager to unravel its secrets alongside Alan on his quest for truth.
