a large book on "string puppets" by pierre gauchat (1902-1956), ...
... with orginal lithograph prints.
the puppets were made by swiss werkbund member carl fischer.
the pages are loosely inserted, not attached to the spine.
swiss writer edwin arnet (1901-1962) contributed a text.
the integration of colour lithographs, drawings, photos and typography is rather striking.
