The Art of Children, Richard Ott, with Folio of 16 Loose Color Plates Viceroy Sunoco mickey mouse and feeling about as optimisticI spotted this oversized book folio at an antique show last weekend and was sold on the cover alone I could look at that dark gray whiskered creature against soft yellow ground all day long. Happily, there is a color plate of it, along with fifteen more loose color plates, inside. And a matching size 8 page booklet, with more examples of extraordinary works by children. Produced by Muller & Kiepenheuer Verlag for Pantheon Books and published in 1952,
