by: Kley, Heinrich

Softcover. US, Picture This Press, 1st, 2012, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 224 pages. Volume 1: Drawings. Clean, unmarked copy with only minor wear to wrappers. Volume One focuses on Kley's ink drawings, and reprints for the first time a substantial selection of his illustration work for children's books and adult genre fiction, a side of Kley's career previously unexplored in other collections. This volume also includes a wide sampling of Kley's cartoons and magazine work, with newly collected examples taken directly from a variety of rare sources such as "Jugend," "Simplicissimus," and the historic "Der Orchideengarten" (the world's first fantasy fiction magazine). In all, more than 300 Kley illustrations and cartoons fill this first volume.
