This is the cover of a portfolio by Odilon Redon, a prominent Symbolist artist, created in 1889. Dedicated to the famed French novelist Gustave Flaubert, the cover displays a simple design with the inscription "à Gustave Flaubert" prominently displayed. The minimalist aesthetic reflects Redon's interest in the evocative power of suggestion, characteristic of his Symbolist style. This portfolio, likely containing Redon's prints or drawings, showcases his artistic exploration of dreams and the subconscious.
