Abstract in a distinctly modern style, they are also figurative depictions of creatures out of Eluard's text. ”... (Chastel) produced outstanding illustrations. Every double page is exciting and original - the mysterious and oriental owl; the sinister shark, the heraldic lion.. In the production of this edition of 196 copies, Chastel has so successfully overcome all the technical difficulties that it is hard to realize the time and skill involved. Each plate had to be inked by hand with 2 separate colors and put through the hand-press... The matching of colors for both sides of the 42 double pages and the labour of the 10,000 separate inkings made the task a Herculean one, not only of illustration but of book architecture. But the result was a masterpiece” - W. Strachan, plate 38 and pp. 116-118, 328. ”Unhampered by other notable bestiaries of the 20th century, Chastel has created a menagerie of freshness and wit” - ”The Artist & The Book” 55.
