Happy birthday to Edgar Allan Poe, born on this day in 1809. Pictured is a photo of our illuminated manuscript of his famous poem, "The Raven". Additionally, we are fortunate to have a first edition copy of "The Raven" in our Special Collections. This past fall, we were able to conserve our copy thanks to a generous gift from alumnus Daniel J. Smith (BA economics ’85) and Linda Way-Smith. Find out more about the conservation in our link in bio. #wustllibraries #pursuewhatspossible #librariesofinstagram #specialcollections #washu #edgarallanpoe #poetry
