![]() ![]() "It is an ancient Mariner, and he stoppeth one of thee." Coleridge's masterpiece about a sailor who offends nature by killing a seabird takes the listener on a macabre odyssey that includes brushes with monsters, a ship manned by zombies, and a game of dice with Death. Although other artists have illustrated various editions, Willy Pogany captures the surreal menace of this tale. Enchanting monochromatic designs throughout w/flourishing borders, accents, colors some chiaroscuro among other varied methods. ![]() Twenty deliciously, subtly, subdued plates in blending watercolor. Elaborate, profuse, symbolical and complexly illustrated edition by Willy Pogany. A rare near very good example in original wrapper. Original pictorial wrapper w/vessel to front panel spine material missing. Spine richly displays flourishing titles in gilt w/decorative albatross and stern of ship. ![]() Cover depicts large golden sailing vessel w/ornate gilt titles: "The Ancient Mariner". ![]()
