Note du spécialiste

This work is related to Max Ernst's illustrations for Logique sans peine by Lewis Carroll, Paris, 1966, which was published again in the anthology Lewis Carrolls Wunderhorn, Stuttgart, 1970, the latter of which was edited by Max Ernst and Werner Spies.

The work is a preparation for two colour lithographs (c.f. Spies-Leppien 135 & 148).
