From Russia... with hope [Cover Title]

Los Angeles: Otis Art Institute of Los Angeles County, 1968. First edition. 22.5x15cm, [1], 9pp including printed inner covers. Illustrations by Dreyfuss throughout. Staple bound in illustrated wrappers which show some faint edge toning. Near fine. Laid in is an ANS from Dreyfuss to [George] Skousen, thanking him for a bookbinding project, and gifting him the pamphlet.

Very uncommon pamphlet beautifully printed by Grant Dahlstrom at his Castle Press.  Prints, with illustrations, the speech given by Dreyfuss on May 17, 1968 at the Commencement Exercise of Otis Art Institute, whence he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Fine Arts. 

The note from Dreyfuss is very likely to George Skousen, then head binder at the Huntington Library, and thanks him for binding "the Russian Diary."  


Manuscript material from Dreyfuss is quite scarce in the trade, and OCLC identifies just 2 holdings for this pamphlet, at the Getty and SMU.
