Holy China.
London. Hutchinson & Co. Ltd., 1968. Stock ID #91116 "The contrast between the ancient and new in China, apparent to every visitor, has never been more precisely noted than in the two hundred drawings in this book. But Topolski sees it all and puts it all down with an artists insight, whether he is at a May Day celebration, or visiting a prison, or a textile factory, or an old people's home, where Mao's texts on the wall are accompanied by the old people's resolutions… The short and staccato text has the modest function of following and supporting the drawings."

Profusely illustrated with Topolski's charcoal sketches, 194pp, signature of a prior owner half title, dustjacket lightly worn at extremities now protected with acid free, fully recyclable polypropylene covering. Quarto.
