Le corbeau = The raven : poëme / par Edgar Poe ; traduction française de Stéphane Mallarmé ; avec illustrations par Édouard Manet
Le corbeau is a 1875 Paris edition of Edgar Allan Poe's poem The Raven, translated into French by Stéphane Mallarmé and published by R. Lesclide with lithographs by Édouard Manet for a French literary readership. The pictures are loose, dark lithographic sketches of a man at a window, a raven, and a lamplit scholar at his desk, built from heavy black wash and open paper, offering a designer strong examples of expressive value contrast and gestural hatching.
