19430072801943. Hardcover. Cloth Box. Very Good. Inimitable and disarming tales that represent the pinnacle of outsider art and folk art with the naive drawings richly full of life as they speak of the daily routine at a British army camp during the Second World War from the point-of-view of a camp mascot cat who excels at mangling English in its creative attempts at phonetic spelling. Folios are oblong 41 by 30 cm each. The first folio contains "The Alterbyografy" a 56 pages long unpaginated with 54 illustrations including the folio cover 28 of which are full page 24 of which are half page. The second folio is entitled "Kamp Karacters" . This is 51 leaves with 92 illustrations including the cover 51 of which are full page 40 a third page generally with the area above entirely blank. Illustrations are rendered with colored pencil and crayon. The first manuscript is a continuous narrative of army life its humdrum rhythms and routines its various inanities its social life sports and other activities etc. while the second part is more character sketches. The second folio is even more visually driven than the autobiography. Another distinction between the two is that the autobiography is done with the leaves oblong while the character studies are applied with the leaves vertical. While one part isn't exactly a sequel to the other the two parts are truly complementary. The two folios are of a rough burlap material with a large title sheet mounted on their front cover. The folios have three flap folds to hold the loose sheets in plus ribbon ties on their right sides. hardcover
