Edgar Allan Poe, 1809-1849.
Poems. East Aurora, N.Y.: Roycrofters,
1901.
For this edition, the title-page and ornaments
were printed from designs by Samuel Warner,
the typography by Andrew Andrews.
Roycroft was a handicraft community founded
in East Aurora, New York, by Elbert Hubbard
in 1894. Influenced by William Morris and
the British Arts and Crafts Movement, the
Roycrofters produced books, metalwork, furniture,
and textiles. Hubbard set up a community that
was to be self-sufficient, based on pre-industrial
agrarian ideals where artisans and their families
lived and worked in healthy, idyllic conditions.
The success of the Roycroft community began
to decline after Hubbard's death in 1915,
but production continued until 1938.
