This print titled "Berenice, 1862" takes us on a haunting journey into the depths of Edgar Allan Poe's macabre imagination. Created by Alphonse Legros, this etching beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Poe's short story of the same name. The image transports us to a gloomy chamber where Egaeus stands before an open coffin. The eerie atmosphere is palpable as we witness his morbid fascination with Berenice's resting place.

It is both enchanting and unsettling, hinting at the dark secrets that lie within her final slumber. The juxtaposition between beauty and horror is masterfully conveyed through Legros' artistry.
