I can’t find much information about Carneti. Art & Popular Culture gives this bio:
Carlo Farneti (1892-1961) was an Italian artist born in Naples who moved to Paris in 1926. He illustrated works by Zola, Poe, and Baudelaire.
Richard Sica tells me Farneti was a prolific illustrator who worked in Paris, and that he did a wonderful series of etchings for a two-volume Poe.
