Tamar a Bible story taken from chapter 13 in the

second book of Samuel. Karasik published it in

collaboration with Delta and Aurora-Design publishers

in St. Petersburg. The English language text is

printed in offset on coarse, light-brown paper. The

double page title and four full page illustrations

were lithographed in nine colours. This is the first

example of Karasik’s use of this kind of multicoloured

lithography in his artists’ books. The cover with flaps

is a more usual three colour lithograph. The book is

stitched and kept in a slipcase inside a card cover.
