The series Book of Revelation is often called “Apocalypse” (for this reason all engravings in this series are preceded by the letter A) and is considered as the best series of engravings Victor Delhez made, a true masterpiece of 20th century graphic art. They’re all engraved on copper plate, so they’re not the usual woodcuts.
Although Delhez made the first works of this series in 1947, the majority of the works was made after 1956. In the Breda catalog they’re only listed until number A11 because this catalog was published in 1956. We don’t have detailed information of the engravings numbered A12 – A49. On some works Delhez wrote the title (usually in totally illegible handwriting), on others not. The year of creation is also a wild guess since Delhez never wrote down the exact year of creation of these works, (which he normaly did for his other works) so he could not remember them either when the Breda catalog was made. This series has no subseries.
