This work is known in three institutional copies, none of which are in the U.S. Bound in pictorial boards backed in red cloth. Dampstain to upper rear cover, else near fine in rare publisher's printed dust wrapper, somewhat chipped at corners.

(NY: Spiral Press, 1969. Frasconi, Antonio. Small folio. (38)ff.

Laid into a dropback box of half cloth and marbled paper. A vibrant presentation of this very scarce Frasconi portfolio.
