Castle Street Dogs

Baskin's "Castle Street Dogs" was published in 1952. Only 20 copies were printed. Baskin lived on Castle Street and "scabrous and lousey" dogs roamed the street. Baskin "regarded them with care and interest, drew and made reliefs of them, and fashioned a set of wood engravings which, with a marvelously apt epigraph by Freud, constitute the content of the book."
