Rare 1961 Picasso publication, printed on Majorca and signed by Pablo Picasso.
Loose sheets in orig. wrapper and cloth boards and slipcase. 37 : 39 cm. With 2 color vignettes and 11 lithographed plates by Picasso.

From this unique edition, 236 copies have been printed, on paper of handmade thread, with double signature watermark and the sun that shines, Picasso signature handwritten, with navy blue wax.

This copy is Ejemplar número 39, which places it in the group of 200 numbered copies (25–224) 

Signed and numbered. Binding on an editorial canvas with a box. 37.5 x 39.5 cm. Square folio. Illustrated throughout in color and monochrome. Loose as issued in original wrappers, in cloth chemise and slipcase. From the edition limited to 224 copies signed by the artist. The lithographed drawings were stamped by Narciso Fábregas de Barcelona, everything was made by hand under the direction of Jaume Pla. With foreword by Camilo José Cela. 1 sheet with the title with Picasso's letter. Page with a sun drawn to 4 inks (sun that is used together with Picasso's signature as watermarks for special manufacturing paper that was used). 10 plates. 14 sheets with the writings, with the facsimiles of the originals

The publication features a foreword by Nobel laureate Camilo José Cela and represents an extraordinary collaboration between writer, printer, and artist. The layout comprises 14 sheets with original writings, 10 plates, and facsimiles of Picasso's notes and illustrations, offering a deep insight into the artist's creative process.

Referenced in Picasso: 70 Years of Book Illustration by Miguel Orozco (Catalogue Raisonné No. 204), this book stands as a testament to Picasso's mastery in both image and text. It aligns with his broader oeuvre of illustrated books, alongside works by artists such as Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Fernand Léger, Jean Cocteau, Alberto Giacometti, Le Corbusier, Salvador Dalí, and André Masson.
(I attached a reference page from the book for documentation purposes, you can get the full book in the link bellow)

Good overall. The sheets are clean and retain their crispness, with only slight waviness visible, typical of handmade paper. Lithographs remain vibrant, with full colour and sharp definition. Minor edge wear is present, but nothing that detracts from the visual impact. The original cover and slipcase show minimal age-related wear. The signature is clear and well-preserved.
