Presenting the genius of Picasso in all its remarkable diversity, Vollard realized the importance of meticulous planning as to the type, paper and general format which would best complement the text and illustrations. How well he succeeded is demonstrated by the volume itself. Not only does it rank as one of the world's most beautiful books, but it establishes Vollard's distinction as a publisher" (Johnson). "The diversity, yet harmony of Picasso's genius is represented here by the inclusion of both abstract and classical styles in a single volume. The wood-engravings reproduce Cubist figures, still-lifes, and the sparkling constellation drawings
