Description

Illustration by Édouard Manet for a French translation by Stéphane Mallarmé of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven". Part 4 of 4 full page plates (two smaller illustrations at beginning and end omitted).

Reliable sources say that the orientation found in this copy - the scan by the Library of Congress, from which this is reproduced - is wrong. As lithographs and text use different printing techniques, plates were usually printed separately, then inserted into the book, and it is not unknown for them to be misplaced, so the following reliable sources indicate this orientation likely reflects a printing error: The Bridgeman Art Library and the National Gallery of Australia both show it in its expected orientation, and Manet's Silence and the Poetics of Bouquets, by James Henry Rubin, says "In the fourth plate, shadow has itself taken on life, becoming the most prominent form. At its bottom it resembles that cast by the bird perched upon the bust, but then in much freer strokes it becomes a dense vapour rising and trailing into oblivion." No text can be found discussing Manet's bold decision to flip a plate upside-down, which one would expect when one checks books on Manet's work which describe this set in detail, and museums and art galleries.
