No place, ca. 1995. Color print of the cover image from Herman Melville's Sendak-illustrated Pierre or the Ambiguities (Hanrahan A144), inscribed by Sendak below image, "For Elizabeth and Joel--with love! Feb. '96". Trimmed; mat burn; image slightly faded. 9 x 7 in. (229 x 178 mm). In mat and in frame, 11 7/8 x 9 7/8 in. (302 x 251). Not in Hanrahan
An uncommon print created to coincide with the publication of Herman Melville's Sendak-illustrated Pierre. One of only a small quantity likely created as an extra illustration for a special edition that was never published.
