While the literary content is historically significant, many of the stories have been reprinted in multiple places across the last century; we have focused our attention on what has gone undocumented: the incredible artworks that illustrated these stories. The artworks range from peculiar medieval etchings to occult woodblocks to expressionist visions- all balancing the romantic and the gothic with hyper-elegant sophistication.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e80 pages | full-color illustrations\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published between 1919 and 1923\u003cbr\u003eCentury Guild, 2018\u003cbr\u003e5.5 x 8.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9781947528024   \u003cbr\u003eHorror Magazine, Interwar Design \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48075826036904,"sku":"9781947528024","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/Sinister-Harvest_Artworks-From-Der-Orchideengarten.webp?v=1715274405","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/sinister-harvest","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
