Title: Calder Animals White
Description: 1992 Note cards: "Calder's Animals." 24 note cards with envelopes. New York Public Library and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Published by MOMA. Printed in the USA. 4" x 5.25". Unknown source.

I rejoiced when I first found these cards. Someone other than I recognized what a lively artist Calder is, particularly in his depiction of fables. The less happy thought here is that several of the images selected here present not fables but animals. The subjects are: "Camel"; "Lion and Gnat"; "Horse and Lion"; Dog, Sheep, and Wolf"; "A Stag Drinking"; and OF. Of the original 24 cards, we still have 16, with each of the six types represented. I offer here what seem to me the best two cards. Compare these cards with the yellow Calder cards also in our collection.
