Publisher’s pictorial wrappers. - “Roy Davids has always had a strong sense of the visual and all his catalogues have contained portraits of the writers and others whose documents filled their pages. In his seventh catalogue, he has taken a further step in this direction, and moved from writers and their portraits to artists and their portraits, some by themselves, others by other hands, mixed with documents that are a different kind of portrait, the intimate letters of artists, as revealing as portraits in the literal sense” (from a notice in The Book Collector, Summer 2000, p.258). Includes a letter of Goya and another of Michelangelo’s pupil Antonio Mini to his master. ¶ Unmarked copy.
