The body is painted red pigment for the glow of the sun rays and for the beauty in birds and flowers that is called forth by the warmth of the sun. Added to this coloring are both green and red for all the spring joys, birds, flowers, and good crops. A fine copy bound in pictorial stiff paper wraps lettered black. Exceptionally nice.
