Odilon Redon's La Maison hantée is based on the gothic novella The Haunted and the Haunters by the English politician and writer Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873). The story was first published in an abridged version in Blackwood's Magazine in 1859, then as a book in 1905. It was the collector, writer and publisher René Philipon who translated the text into French and commissioned Redon to create this set of lithographs inspired by the novella. Remarkably, his French translation and publication of 1894, included in this lot, predates the first English book edition. As a writer, Philipon used the nom de plume 'Jean Tabris', and he dedicated the present copy of the book to 'Luc Hizarbin' - probably also a pseudonym. An article on Odilon Redon was published under that name in the esoteric French journal Le Voile d'Isis (1894, no. 156:1-3); the true identity of its author has not been established.
