Quarto. (30)pp. Relief prints throughout by Van Vliet are in blue, two of which add multiple colors. The text of Cortese's fable is printed in black, yellow, and brown, making for a harmonious bit of typographical and pictorial storytelling, the former helped by the use of 12-pt Wallau type designed by Rudolph Koch. Bound in printed Belgian linen over boards. Slight lean, else near fine.
