[Rarebooks] FS: Original SIGNED Watercolor by Ludwig Bemelmans, author of MADELINE

[Charles Agvent]

BEMELMANS, Ludwig. THE DONKEY INSIDE. New York: The Viking Press, 1941. 
First Edition. A notebook of several voyages through South America, with 
a concentration on Ecuador. One of only 175 numbered copies with an 
ORIGINAL DRAWING in color SIGNED by the author of a side-view portrait 
of a native woman. Certainly the most affordable way to obtain an 
original work of art by the author of the beloved children's book 
MADELINE. Fine in just about Fine slipcase.

This book generated a term unique to Ecuadorian Spanish-- "bemelmans": a 
foreigner who makes fun of the natives.
