Six coloured etchings by Susan Allix. 4to., 26x21cm, 50pp. Original full painted goatskin by Susan Allix. London, Susan Allix, 2001.
Fine.
Produced from the diary of Susan’s journey to India, ‘the book contains six Indian episodes accompanied by six coloured etchings; the House - the residence of the taxi driver where Allix was welcomed for tea; a Painted Hand - Allix’s own hand painted in henna by a woman during the tea; the Purple Cloth- a widow’s sari; the Tiger - a tiger from Ranthambore, where Allix was staying in a tent with a marble bathroom; the Small Palace - a hotel; the Golden Temple Mail to Bharatpur - the mystical story told to her on the train’ (On Books, Simon Shorvon).
