"Twelve Maquettes of Stained Glass Windows for Jerusalem" This album was published in 75 copies numbered in Roman numerals and contains reproductions of the twelve sketches and of the 12 windows made by Chagall for the Synagogue at Jerusalem. Chagall specially engraved for this work the chapter heading and the end-piece for Monsieur Julien Cain's preface. The other plates in this album are interpretive lithographs engraved by Charles Sorlier (a fact noted on each proof) under the artist's supervision. A rare opportunity to acquire the complete set intact.
