Translated from the Italian and with a new introduction by William Weaver. "Wayne Thiebaud had the idea for drawings of cities that would be invisible until the reader took the action of turning the page. The concept involved printing his drawings on transparent sheets in different colors of inks." A most unusual volume. Signed by Thiebaud in pencil on verso of half-title.
