The Bountiful Cow

The Bountiful Cow

Michael Czaja, 1944

Description

Juror Notes

The individuality of a manuscript, with its sensitively adjusted spaces between words and between words and pictures, has been preserved in the reproduction of pictures, typesetting, and page lay-outs. The book has an air of spontaneity. Its oblong format and double-page spreads give a strong movement to carry the eye along. Although there is only black ink on white paper, there is enough sparkle to suggest color. The cloth binding is good and solid.

Peter Beilenson, Paul McPharlin, Ernst Reichl (Jurors)
