Sobre este artículo
The sole UK printing published by The Inky Parrot Press, UK in 2001. Number 'X1' of only 'XLV111' copies. There were also 372 ordinary copies bound in cloth. The book is in Fine condition and bound by The Fine Bindery in quarter leather with gilt titling and decorated boards as issued. With 57 illustrations by Franciszka Themerson. Foreword by Jasia Reichardt and an Afterword by Graham Ovenden. This copy is signed by Jasia Reichardt to the limitation page. Housed in the printed card slipcase which is in near Fine condition. A paper portfolio of 8 B/W prints by Franciszka Themerson with an index page is housed in a blue paper portfolio, the whole housed in the slipcase. The prints do not appear in the book. According to the prospectus, it appears that the intention was that there were going to be 6 prints initialled and numbered (presumably by Jasia Reichardt, Themerson's niece : Themerson had died in 1988). However, on the actual book limitation page, it only mentions ' 48 copies have an additional set of prints'. It was not unusual for the final publication to be different from the prospectus description with The Inky Parrot Press. Loosely inserted is the four page Prospectus which is in near Fine condition. The Prospectus details the history of these illustrations for this title which up until this publication, remained unpublished. Franciszka Themerson is represented at the Tate Museum, London. Very scarce with such attributes. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
