Paul Jacoulet, The Black Lotus, China

Notes: Miles notes: "This ambiguous image returns to Jacoulet's classic 'floating figure', but in an unsettling, modern way that is unlike anything else of the period. By this time the subscriber list was so scanty that there was little to fear from experimentation, and Jacoulet took advantage. All this energy was being poured into the exhausting new key-block drawings and color plans for the new series, and Honda was left quite alone." - Miles, pg. 125 One of the most difficult prints to locate; particularly in very fine condition.
