Remark:
This is a lovely find! Its 94 paperbound pages include forty-seven colored illustrations, all signed in 1961. They are lively and highly interpretative. The rabbit on 13 is one of the strongest; notice that the cover's two-color version of this multi-colored piece adds a bottle and may reinterpret the rabbit's explosive gesture. Is that a fox looking so voluptuous on 17? The two hands on 51 are simply but powerfully done. I believe I have seen some of these before. They remind one of Racheva's work, but these are rougher, more primitive, livelier. There is a T of C at the end.
