    'tis beautiful.

    Say, do you think the scans of Panama will make it up on the blog? Or are they up arleady, somewhere?

    I am quite interested to see the illustrations of John Dos Passos.

    Best,

    I'm afraid to look at my 2008 blog to-do list because I only have 11 days to get to everything. But I should definitely be able to scan something from Panama. Thanks for the reminder.

    Where did you find this one? I've only come across the black-and-white non-inscribed version before.

    I'm pretty sure in an old Christies catalog, but I recently also noticed it in the 2-volume book Surrealism: Two Private Eyes.

    OK, I hadn't really looked over the book in any detail, though a friend of mine has a copy.
