Originally published: A sketch book. New York : Curt Valentin, 1952.

Displaying a tremendous passion for drawing since childhood, French artist Toulouse-Lautrec possessed the extraordinary ability to memorize action and convey rapid movement and scenic atmosphere with just a few strokes. A superb draftsman whose work--especially his sketches--was graphic in nature, he produced art of dazzling originality and power. This little-known volume--a treasure for the artists many admirers--includes 85 of his most striking early efforts, the majority of them studies of horses.
