ByGuillaume ApollinaireRaoul Dufy

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Guillaume Apollinaire's Bestiary from 1911 was a reinvention of the Western tradition of short illustrated poems with a moral treating animals as emblems. Illustrated by Raoul Dufy, it presents a cavalcade of 30 emblematic animals, introduced by the mythical poet Orpheus. The Flowerdew Press mimotype edition features D.J. Pigott’s rhymed translations that follow the originals as closely as possible, maintaining their light-heartedness as well as their allusive nature
