Signed by Aloni on the title page, in Hebrew: "To M'eira, With friendship (or "yours affectionately"). December 1988, Nathan." Erdesz was one of Hungary's leading graphic artists. He immigrated to the United States in 1956 where he began a career in violin making. Over the years he continued to sketch cartoons, drawing inspiration from the world of the violin.

This is one of those copies, signed by Aloni instead. Near fine (contents bright, clean & tight); few tears & creases (small half-inch chip front cover) d/j. $75.00.
