Ronald Searle Tribute: Italia

Monday, August 08, 2016

An interesting oddity from Italy with a great self portrait I hadn't seen before. I don't know much more about this publication.

Leo Ríos said...: Hello Matt,

That volume was published by the Museo della Caricatura in Tolentino.
Been there:

In the little shop of the museum I didn't see this Searle catalogue. Anyway I got hold of this beauty: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAyNFg3Njg=/z/JdAAAOSwVL1WBRjK/$_1.JPG

As it reads, it's the catalogue for the second biennial, printed in 1963. So Searle's one would be from 1965, I'd say...

I forgot that Gec stands for Enrico Gianeri, cartoonist and scholar of the mestiere...
