1973 PSYCHEDLIC. The Cosmic Colouring Book by Timothy Dry and Reigate Design School.
A very rare survivor, the first edition of a very highly celebrated piece of design when it was first released in 1973. We trace no copies on the market or having been offered at auction. Completely unused.
The Cosmic Colouring Book was the production of a group of 7 students graduating from Reigate School of Art & Design in 1973. Among the contributors is famed musician and photographer, Timothy Dry. After graduating Reigate, he studied theatre with Desmond Jones and Lindsay Kemp [who trained David Bowie, Kate Bush, etc,.].
The themes are futurist, psychedelic, and fit neatly in the era with heavy references to J. R. R. Tolkien, Alice in Wonderland, and various psychedelic-adjacent themes.
