Corners, top of spine bumped, top edges of boards slightly age-darkened, p.o. inscription on ffep. Dustjacket is chipped at top of spine, price-clipped, rubbed. "Wildly improbable but wonderfully real are these forty odd caricatures in which Giovannetti captures the Quintessence of Dog.

Accompanying each drawing are multiple captions in French and in English devised by several hands in dogged disagreement.
