A complete catalog of Susan Jaffe Tane’s Edgar Allan Poe Collection, considered to be the finest in private hands, Evermore encompasses over 400 rare, original items, as well as secondary materials. It offers an in-depth look at Poe’s life, his world, and his influence into the present day, through original manuscripts and letters by Poe, daguerreotypes, artifacts, first edition books, and unique material related to Poe’s family and friends, some of which are recent discoveries. Included in the collection, which was exhibited at the Grolier Club in 2014, are a number of items that show Poe’s influence on American and world culture after his death, including artwork, comic books, movie posters, sound recordings, and toys.
