- Curator's comments
- In 1895, La Revue Blanche began including special sections called "Nib" (French slang term for "nothing doing"). These supplements contained black and white lithographs by avant-garde artists.
La Revue Blanche was an artistic and literary journal founded and edited by Thadée and Alfred Natanson and later by Félix Fénéon during the 1890s. (The first series was published in Belgium in three numbers in 1889.) A reproduction of Munch's lithograph 'The Scream' is published with a French translation of Munch's text in German in 'La Revue Blanche', no. 60 (1 December 1895), p. 528 (2018,7086.1.21).
The BM has a near-complete run of La Revue Blanche nouvelle série, nos. 1-181, October 1891- December 1900 (kept in P&D library), together with the three comic supplements NIB, issued between January and April 1895. Original prints appear as frontispieces in the 17 numbers from July 1893 to December 1894 (these and the three NIB supplements are registered as 2018,7086.1.1-20).
