Saul Steinberg: The American Sketchbook

Fourteen drawings were published in The American Sketchbook, Saul Steinberg's stunning color calendar for 1968. Steinberg started publishing calendars with Hallmark in 1960. Prior to this, he had created greeting cards for the company. The calendars were published through 1969. Today, Steinberg's calendars seem to be fairly hard to come by.

The first two photos below came from an eBay sale a while back. The final four are from  a Japanese bookseller.
