Karel Biddeloo, set of three original drawings of the Red Knight

Set of three related design drawings of the Red Knight.
Purchased at the time with the following accompanying text:
‘Designs for a Red Knight giant. A few years ago, the Deuren local history society launched a project to create a Red Knight giant whose height could be adjusted if necessary: the hero would need to be able to pass beneath the tram wires and would therefore have to assume a sitting or kneeling position. Various designs were made, including these three. Unfortunately, the project has not yet been brought to fruition. But perhaps it still will be, and one day we’ll see the Red Knight raise his head up into the clouds?’
