About Item: Madrid: Saturnino Calleja, 1924. (Bartolozzi, Salvador). Oblong 24mo. (16)pp. Printed in red and black, with red and black illustrations throughout and two full-page illustrations ornamented in a bright set of primary colors. The images evince the general Iberian style of the period: thin lines composed to show surreal scenes that straddle the cartoonish and the ghostly. Between 1915 and 1928, Editorial Calleja, which led the Spanish market in books printed for children in the early twentieth century, was under the artistic direction of Salvador Bartolozzi. Through his children's weekly edition Pinocchio, launched in 1925, Bartolozzi was one of the main impetuses behind the character's immense popularity from the 1920s onward. Bound in self-wrappers, decorated in color and with advertisements to recto and verso of rear cover. One-inch split to tail of spine, mild foxing and exterior soiling, else near fine. Only one copy recorded in OCLC.
