The Carte de Tendre (map of tenderness) is the map of an imaginary country called « Tendre », invented in the 17th century and inspired by the novel Clélie, Histoire romaine by Madeleine de Scudéry, by different people among which Catherine de Rambouillet. The map features, in the form of villages and roads, in this topographical and allegorical representation, the different stages of life and love along the lines of the Précieuses of that era. The map details the distractions and pitfalls—depicted as town and landmarks—that lovers encounter along their journey from New Friendship (the town at the bottom center of the map) to intimacy.
La Carte du Tendre was used in the opening credits of Louis Malle’s Les Amants.

Poe Visualized by Harry Clarke
From the 1919 deluxe edition of Edgar Allen Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Harry Clarke reached deep into those dark, flinching corners underneath the bed and ripped out the grotesque horrors that lurked within, creating these macabre illustrations that accompanied Poe’s disturbing classics like “The Pit and the Pendulum” and the “The Telltale Heart” perfectly. In the same vein as Stephen Gammell’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark monstrosities decades later, these illustrations are sufficient evidence that while some stories can be even more frightening when left to your imagination, it takes a truly visceral artist to give those shadows form and really scare the bejeezus out of you.
