1619D52751916-1960. Paperback. Fine. 16 loose leaves folded once to create 64 pages each page about 7-by-9 inches; contains 25 extraordinary drawings of aardvarks and ant-eaters rendered in bright blue or black ink frequently in an etched or cross-hatched style reminiscent of woodcuts. With handwritten captions in Russian Latvian English and German and dated from 1916-1960. Studies of the animals in the wild or captivity drawn perhaps from life but also from other images such as "The young ant-bear or aardvark and its foster-parent. The illustrated London News Sept. 5 1936." The foster parent by the way is a human. All drawings are remarkably bold and adept the bright blue in particular lends an air of pop or modern art while others are more formal or refined. Unique and simply wonderful. <br/><br/> paperback books
