INFORMATION: Chagall’s Bible was published by Tériade in 1956, bringing to a close a project initiated by Vollard in 1930. Chagall engraved the copper plates between 1931 and 1939 in Maurice Potin’s workshops. The project was interrupted by the war.
The copy presented here, from the Tériade archives, is one of the rare proofs printed between 1931 and 1939.
