TESTING THE LAWS OF HAZARD
An artists' book by Gracia made especially for the exhibition, By This Unwinking Night

The forty-third King Penguin, A Prospect of Wales (published 1948), with an essay by Gwyn Jones and twenty colour plates by Kenneth Rowntree, is now home to the woolly spider monkey, the drill, the dugong, Wallace's flying frog and the collared lizard. This 'modified' copy comes also with the handwritten inscription in unknown hand: "Better a Whale of Prospects than a Prospect of Wales! 20th Sept. 1948."
