Description

A specially numbered copy, unique and one of only 1500 copies signed by the illustrator and designer. Illustrated with 33 finely lithographed plates by Raul Rosarivo, the book designed by Alberto Kraft. Thick 4to, the sheets folded and bound into heavy boards, the lower section of the covers blanketed in 'rough hide', from steers from the Argentine pampas, still with the 'fur' or 'hair' of the animal, laced with rawhide, the upper section of the covers with true parchment or vellum with the 'hair' or 'fur' removed. The title of the book branded into the parchment at the upper cover and spine panel, the endpapers of calfskin, original dustjacket and the publisher's protective box. xiv, [1 leaf], 307 pp. A very good and handsome copy of this uniquely bound book, the binding strong and the text only lightly mellowed by time.
