Among the best is a series of drawings from official documents of the 29th-34th Congresses, by unidentified artists: scenes of camps and deserts, with the exquisite finish and the unearthliness of Dali's early work-a train of mules vanishing, single file, into the haze of the desert, ridden by grave, top-hatted emigrants; a mirage of tall minareted cities, floating on the horizon...
