Believed to have been published in 1968. Loose sheets as issued. 30cm x 42. 8 4 initial text leaves, being double sized folded once, compose the title page; its verso, the 4pp intro by Waissenberger and two final blanks. The first single sheet bears a photograph of Charoux in b&w. This is followed by 23 sheets with b&w photos of his sculptures; followed by 8 colour images of his paintings. All images are tipped on to the loose sheets and the reverse of each sheet bears the details of the artwork. 32 mounted illustrations in all. The folding cream wraps, which have just a hint of dustiness, are in two sections glued at a seam. They were not lain quite correctly, exposing a strip of glue. A tiny spot of glue has transferred to the rear of the inside edge of the mount of the final illustration. The wrap is a little loose, otherwise near fine.
