About This Item
New York, N. Y.: Franklin Watts, Inc, 1970. Near fine.. First edition of this psychedelic story of Orange Boy's efforts to "cool his head," featuring several illustrations that incorporate Cockerell marbled paper. Peter Max's colorful and cosmic art style perfectly encapsulates the visual psychedelia of the 1960s and '70s. His illustrations both contrast with and compliment the flowing patterns of Douglas Cockerell and Son's marbled designs, their bold, repetitive shapes acting as perfect backgrounds for Max's fantastical figures. A particularly attractive melding of traditional book aesthetics with contemporary art. 11'' x 8.5''. Original glossy color pictorial boards. Marbled endpapers with playful characters. Illustrated in color. [16] leaves. Boards with a touch of rubbing and soil, mild bumping to spine ends. Leaves clean, illustrations bright.
