P. K. Thomajan was the author of essays and books about design. One imagines he was delighted by Saul Steinberg's drawing of a dog in his copy of The Art of Living (1949). Could one hope to master the art of living without a dog? If memory serves, Steinberg himself kept a cat. At any rate, the inscription and drawing were made in the year of publication. The photographs shown here appear courtesy of A Friend of the Blog.
Note: Once again, my thanks to A Friend of the Blog for documenting this wonderful copy of the book.
Uniquely signed, inscribed, or drawn upon copies of The Art of Living (or other books) by Saul Steinberg always make welcome submissions to this blog.
