⁂ Rare copy with the Campbell's pea soup doodle, and with a good association. Dedicated to Robert Fraser (1937-1986), the prominent London-based art dealer. Fraser introduced and promoted the work of many important British and American artists, including Andy Warhol, to the British market, and was at the forefront of modern art in Britain throughout the 1960s and 70s. The two letters accompanying this present copy, are signed and written by previous owner Jaine (?)Wilson, in which she testifies that the book was given to her personally by Robert Fraser. She recalls how, "I mentioned to him that it looked valuable and he said 'you don't understand, it would be an unsigned copy that would be valuable'".
