Author: Domenico Gnoli

Type: INTERIORART
Language: English
Note: Best Illustrated Picture Books of 1965, one of 8 selected from 165 nominees --per NY Times 1965-11-07 pBRA4 illustrated announcement of NYT Book Review's 14th annual award
Synopsis: "The lack of a specific locus in time or place is carried over into the illustrations, though here a surrealistic quality is more successful because more deliberate. The pictures imitate engravings from Holbein, Dürer, Breughel, 16th-century books, and 19th-century cartoons, often in pastiche." --Joan Bodger NY Times 1965-12-19 pBR12 Three other contemporary newspaper reviews note "pictures in the style of wood cuts", "magnificent line illustrations rich with detail", and "fantastic, elaborately detailed illustrations that resemble fine old engravings".
