Paris.: Ambroise Vollard., 1899.. Loose as issued in original tan paper wrapper with titles and pictorial lithograph title by Redon in black to upper cover.. Folio. (630 x 440 mm).. Printed wrapper with original lithograph illustration and text to front cover and 12 original monochrome lithographs on chine appliqué, each with printed caption to support sheet; sheet size: c.565 x 425 mm. Odilon Redon's 'Apocalypse de Saint-Jean', an excellent unsophisticated set in the original wrappers.From the edition limited to 100 copies, this copy initialled by Redon 'O R' in pencil at lower left of the front wrapper verso.The wrapper - larger than the support sheets and often damaged or trimmed - is for this example in very good condition.Vollard issued only two portfolios by Redon, the present example and 'La Tentation de Saint-Antoine'. The lithographs are printed on Chine laid down on heavy wove.'Past sixty when these lithographs were finished, Redon used blacks with superb power, to be equaled much later only by the graphic work of Rouault ... (in 'Apocalypse de Saint-Jean'). Preoccupied with the unknown and with his symbolism, Redon created a broodingly somber world, one in which dreams are the ultimate reality.' (Johnson: Ambroise Vollard. 1944).[Mellerio 173 - 185].
