Printed for The Gravesend Press by Ludwig Oehms at Frankfurt am Main in an edition limited to 500 numbered copies, signed by Fritz Kredel (1900-1973). Designed by Gotthard de Beauclair. The drawings have been colored by hand through stencils by Schauer & Silvar at Darmstadt. "Fritz Kredel has never let the exacting requirements of his craft interfere with his engaging interest in puppets and dolls. These little drawings (here reproduced on copper in their exact size) are a labor of love" (from the preface by Joseph C. Graves).
