A charming and characteristic example of Foujita's book illustration from his celebrated Paris period, comprising a bestiary of twenty-five delicately executed original etchings. Foujita's animals—including cats, birds, reptiles and other creatures—are rendered with the exceptionally fine, economical line that became one of the distinguishing features of his graphic work.
