Notes
Preparatory drawing for "Schilfers hebben scherpe kanten" by Jos Vandeloo, published in 1974 by W. A. Meeuws's Mouette Press.
Masereel enclosed this drawing and another (PML 195862.4) to the publisher in a letter from Nice, dated 8 July 1968. Meeuws chose the other drawing for the frontispiece. Following the artist's death in 1972, Meeuws asked printer Stanislaw Gliwy to engrave the image on linoleum as an homage. The linocut appears with an explanatory note on p. [15] of the book.
