FEILDING, William. THE DRAGON'S DREAM. Basle & Geneva: Galerie 
Schreiner/Galerie Schreiner-Letu SA, [1975]. First Edition. Large folio 
(18" x 19") in full gilt-decorated and lettered black morocco leather by 
Zaehnsdorf with gilt dentelles and silk endpapers. Edited by Gerard A. 
Schreiner. Copy #91 of 99 SIGNED by the artist on the colophon page and 
at the end of the introduction, dated "75." Illustrated with 20 
six-color ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPHS, each individually SIGNED and numbered by 
Feilding. The lithographs are largely erotically-infused fantastic 
visions. According to Feilding's introduction, "'The dream of reason 
produces monsters,' said Goya, and indeed, fascination with the bizarre 
is as old and universal as the history of art itself. My attempt is to 
convey the waking dream, looking sublimates the desire to participate, 
and in the realm of the fantastic, it is a good deal safer." Some 
scratches to the covers and rubbing to the front joint. Near Fine. 
(#021273)        $3,500
