About this Item

First edition with these illustrations. Octavo. pp [iv], 37. Colour illustrations printed in pochoir by Wilfred Jones. Pigskin-backed paper boards, lettered in red. Printed on oriental Okawara paper. Typography by Will Ransom, Chinese characters by Sang Ho. A somewhat bizarre stab at orientalism. The pictures were first printed in black and then the vivid Japanese watercolours were done by hand by a team of young artists who copied from Jones's originals. One of the figures depicts George Bernard Shaw squeezing his nose. One of 950 numbered copies signed by the artist.Fine in publisher's very good patterned paper-covered card slipcase split at one edge.
