THE BIBLE  I

In 1956, the publisher, Teriade, brought out a work that had been started by Vollard in 1930: 'The Bible I', illustrated with 105 engravings made by Marc Chagall, between 1930 and 1955. 

The same year, this same publisher brought out an issue of the review ' Verve' (nos. 33-34) which was exclusively devoted to reproductions, made by the photogravure process, of all 105 of the original etchings. 

For this number of  'Verve', Chagall composed 16 full-page colored lithographs and 12 in black and white, in addition to the cover and title page. 6 500 copies of the review were printed.
