Description

Full title: “La Belle au Bois dormant, une imagerie d’après le conte de Charles Perrault

Swiss artist & graphic designer Lavater perfected this visually striking style of artist books featuring symbols rather than words to remaine fairytale. Her mother was an author & her father an engineer; surely the perfect background for this style of work!

First Edition [Paris, Adrien Maeght, 1982], 16 x 11 cm, cloth covers with paper title label to front, 40 single-sided printed sheets in fan-fold format with continuous colour illustration, includes trilingual key to the symbols [French, English, German], a fine copy in the original plastic slipcase [minor shelf wear; near fine]
