"The Raven" was created for Attleboro's 2009 Big Read celebration of the poems and short stories by Edgar Allan Poe. This illustration is meant to depict the somber and macabre nature of Poe's life-works. Seen on everything from buses to bar stools throughout the fall of 2009, this image was an icon for all 1ABC Poe programs and events.
