Signed and inscribed on the front pastedown and free end page in ink, “Pour Robert Schwarz, Hommage tres amiable de Salvador Dali, 1955.” Dali embellishes these pages with several sketches, including a lighthouse overlooking a sea full of sailboats, two figures running along the beach with outstretched arms, two figures fishing in front of a building, an ant, and a moon. Autographic condition: fine, with light toning near the joint and trivial soiling at the bottom edge. Book condition: VG-/None. Schwartz was an American immigration official who handled the cases of VIPs, including Dali. A magnificent sketch and whimsically penned inscription by the famed surrealist, written inside a book sought-after in itself as a humorous collaboration between Dali and famed photographer Philippe Halsman.
