You are totally right about the word Asylum--and either meaning can apply on a given day. <BR/><BR/>That is really cool that you have the original Saseks. Apparently the Rizzoli versions are faithful, but not totally exact replicas. I may have to hunt down some vintage copies of my own.Brilliant Asylumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09656796025200050768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444864678373247637.post-62857720759868370162007-08-15T17:07:00.000-04:002007-08-15T17:07:00.000-04:00Okay.

And I'm intrigued by the asylum part, given the double meaning of the word.<BR/><BR/>Your admiration for Sasek's work is just the endorsement I need to come back to your blog for regular visits. His work transports me to another time and place in my life - I have vintage copies of San Francisco (where I was born), New York (where I live) and Paris (the only other place I'd want to live if opportunity ever presented itself). We had these copies when I was a kid (I'm dating myself here. Whatever.) Thanks for this great post (and all the others)!
