Monod 1696 - Cramer 77 - Dupin 309-335 - Strachan S. 192 und 339.: "The hand of Miro's language is peculiarly his own but is never repetitive. Whatever may seem spontaneous is the result of much meditation and reduction to simplicity. Yet no one more than he can explore and exploit the felicitous accident, caused by the behaviour of a flaw in the metal or paper, or perhaps the inking ... The hors-texte etchings, surrounded by generous margins, are compact with wit and animation. Strange bird and man-like figures are, as it were, suspended in space as voluntarily unresolved as the poem ... There is the same elemental, explosive qualitiy in both monochrome and colour aquatints of this Catalan genius; the cunning of innocence." - Eines von 85 num. Exemplaren auf BFK Rives (GA 125). Im Impressum jeweils vom Künstler und Autoren sign. - Gedruckt auf der Presse von Fequet u. Baudier. - "I have made some trials which have allowed me to see what it was to make a book and not merely illustrate it. Illustration is always secondary matter. The important thing is that a book must have all the dignity of a sculpture carved in marble." (The Livre d'Artiste in the Twentieth Century, S. 41). - Breitrandiges, zweiseitig unbeschnittenes Expl. - In den Rändern minimal gebräunt, insgesamt sehr sauber.
