Folon's Early Bird

Jean-Michel Folon provided color illustrations to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1988. As Folon wrote, "Everyone talks about it, no one reads it." In this copy Folon drew a dove of peace catching an airborne worm. It was presented to illustrator R. O. Blechman and family.
