Information
ink and watercolor on thin cardboard
24 x 33 cm
Original illustration created in 1950 by Crepax for Edgar Allan Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum." This extremely rare work is part of a cycle of Poe's short stories made by Crepax when he was just 18. The Milanese master's fascination with the grotesque and the horrific is already clearly evident in this early work of the highest technical and compositional quality, which led him to revisit Poe's short stories eighteen years later (1968) in the magazine Linus. The work comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the Crepax Archives of Milan. Signed and dated.
