Print of Edgar Allan Poe The Humanity of Mr Poe by June Ponte

PRINT - The Humanity of Mr Poe


I've always had a thing for Mr. Poe, and I've declared my love for him by creating this print from my original oil painting to share with you. By most accounts, Poe had long dark lashes and soft grey eyes. One poetic comment from the past, was that his hair was "as black as a raven's wing". Well, here he is, ready to help your imagination take flight, albeit on raven's wings. :)

This print measures 8" wide x 10"tall, and is set in a black 11" x 14" mat.

And lastly, I wanted to add that Poe has been so misunderstood and maligned. To remember someone for his virtues *is* a virtue. Poe was a talented, creative genius who had such a sad childhood and a hard life...I tried to show him the respect I feel he deserves.
