In contrast with some of his other books the etchings Bonnard drew for Dingo show a marked playfulness which are at variance with the somewhat imposing format of the book. Dingo is in notable contrast to the smaller Histoires Naturelles by Jules Renard for which Bonnard also provided not too dissimilar illustrations. Dingo is one of five books which Bonnard illustrated for Ambroise Vollard. Clamshell box with some wear cover with a repaired tear along the joint overall a nice clean copy.
