In 1938, as

Europe prepared for war.

Roland Penrose and Lee Miller made a journey together through the Balkans. Penrose was

a painter, author and curator, Miller, previously a model, had had succesful photographic studios in Paris and New York, and was a brilliant photographer.

As they travelled Penrose created pictures and took notes.

On their return Penrose produced a charming handmade photobook for Miller, a

surrealist love poem, drawn from his own memories and records.

A limited edition of the book was soon printed and Penrose embellished a small number with a series of Imaginative tipped in colour motifs.

The first of which he personalised for Lee Miller.
