December 1882 CE
Odilon Redon completes another print series in 1882, dedicated to Edgar Allan Poe, whose poems had been translated into French with great success by Stéphane Mallarmé and Charles Baudelaire.
Rather than illustrating Poe, Redon's lithographs are poems in visual terms, themselves evoking the poet's world of private torment.
