Original Drawing: Vix - the Story of a Fox Cub
Presently the moon.
1960.
An original scraperboard drawing. 22 x 18cm. Annotated to the rear and with a card sleeve noting that the dustwrapper image should only use the lower 6 3/4 inches. A beautifully atmospheric moonlight image.
From page 17, chapter 1, and the dustwrapper design, of Vix - The Story of a Fox Cub, published by Ernest Benn in 1960. "Presently the moon rose into the cloudless sky, and the lovely, gentle light of it shone down through the leaves of the great trees."
The Adventures of Vix are taken from the lives of real foxes observed by the author (BB) in the Lake District.
