A gift from the above in June 1975

Robert Descharnes, Salvador Dalí: The Work, The Man, New York, 1984, illustration of another example p. 176

This work is in generally good condition given age and handling. There are small losses to the extreme upper corners, creases at center of top edge and in two places on left edge, and small surface scuffs throughout. The flaps display handling wear and the brass snaps have been torn from the backing sheet. Otherwise fine.
