Édouard Manet (1832-1883) - Lot 97
Édouard Manet (1832-1883) Edgar Poe. Circa 1860. Etching. 150x190mm. Guérin 55. Very fine proof on japon impérial, from the print run made in 1890 for the album de l'imprimerie de Gennevilliers. Creases to the edges of the folio, notably in the lower corners. Full margins. Ex-coll. H.M.Petiet (Lugt 5031). "It is probable that this etching was executed to illustrate Edgar Poe's Histoires extraordinaires, translated by Baudelaire and first published by Michel Lévy in 1856. [...] Manet was undoubtedly aware of the daguerreotype of Edgar Poe taken in Providence in 1848. (M. Guérin, L'œuvre gravé de Manet, New York, Amsterdam, Da Capo Press & B. M. Israël, 1969, no. 55).
