Riguardo questo articolo

First edition: folio; hardcover, full white faux-leather with gilt spine and upper board titling; 144pp., with many full-colour and monochrome illustrations. Minor wear; foxing to half-title and title pages with some random spots to page 11; signed in ink by both artist and author to the half-title page. A few scratches on rear panel of illustrated dustwrapper. Some spots and scrapes on the slipcase. Very good to near fine. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Charles Blackman's works have been described as 'the raw authenticity of feeling' and 'images for grief and guilt, loss, persecution and tenderness in their naked forms, without softening or distraction'; and he himself as 'a creative spirit'. Whatever medium he is using - paint, charcoal, engraving and print-making, tapestries, stained glass - or whatever image he is calling up - his extraordinary schoolgirls, his magical Alice and White Rabbit, his gardens and his flowers, his mother-and-childs, his enchanted children, his fateful literary greats - he never fails to evoke a response, both from within the image and from the onlooker's outside.
