(I.e. the Netherlands.) <br />You can imagine my disappointment when I was told that the book couldn't be found. <br />The Red Rat promised to keep looking, and every few weeks I asked if they we're still looking or whether they had given up the search. I had to give it to them: they never threw in the towel. <br />But I did, and I tried to forget...<br />I had succeeded when the Red Rat sent me an email. This was last week, and I thought they wanted to close the case. Unsolved. <br />Surprise: the lost Ark Book was found!<br />And now it's standing here, in Rotterdam, cover forward, in a show-/bookcase.<br />I wanted to scan the pages missing from Mullen's sample, but I'm afraid the book will fall apart in the process.<br /><br />BTW, the book was published in 1918. Fish was a popular cartoonist at the time. She had already published one or two of her EVE books at the time. EVE was a comic (sort of) that ran in the TATLER about a flapper avant-la-lettre who wants to do everything in her power to cheer up the British soldiers fighting in the trenches. It has lots of Style and the same whimsicality that pervades NOAH'S ARK BOOK. (Which reminds me a lot of the whimsicality of Oliver Herford's earlier animal books.)<br /><br />BTW2, I really like your blog, it's one of my regular blogstops, and I share your admiration for Matticchio. <br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Arthur van KruiningArthur van Kruiningnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944286948804017471.post-7443255305426328812010-05-07T20:40:12.128+02:002010-05-07T20:40:12.128+02:00un blog stratosferico!!!!
