本期《读书》封二、三所刊印的三幅木刻,均选自一九四八年我编的那本《英国版画选》(上海晨光出版公司),原画连同其他百余幅都巳成为“文革”的牺牲品.我对《春》的作者毫无了解,但我很喜欢这幅小画.记得我选它时,曾联想到鲁迅所编《苏联版画选》中的一幅似乎题名为《熊之一生》 The three woodblocks printed in the second and third volumes of this edition of Reading are all selected from the edition of the British edition (Shanghai Chenguang Publishing Company) compiled by me in 1948. The original painting, together with the other 100 paintings, “Cultural Revolution.” I did not know anything about the author of “Spring,” but I really enjoyed this little painting.When I chose it, I remembered one of Lu Xun’s “Selected Works of the Soviet Union” Entitled “a bear’s life”
