Vivi the model who featured in ‘Sunday’ one of the ‘Other Stories’ in ‘Cowboy Kate & Other Stories’ (1964).
These two prints are exquisite, truly adorable, tender, charming figure studies with stunning lighting from an era defining book. Hyper rare, in both cases they are the only known copies, apart from those bound into the four maquettes prepared for publishers at the time. The first draft maquette of Cowboy Kate is currently for sale at Peter Harringon, the famous rare book dealer in London, for £30,000.
