N.B. Donald Evans's carefully detailed watercolors are postage stamps for imaginary countries. He created a history, culture, people, and even national products for each land he conceived. In colloquial Dutch, "Nadorp" means "after the village" or "on the other side of the town." Nadorp was also the family name of a friend of the artist, for whom he named the ruler, Prince Philip of Nadorp, of this fictional country. Evans gifted this work, depicting postage stamps dedicated to the traditional music of Nadorp, to a musician friend.
The lot is accompanied by two small Donald Evans exhibition posters/lithographs, one without lettering signed by the artist and dedicated to Dr. Korris, both rolled in a mailing tube, plus correspondence with the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, postcards, and other ephemera.Condition
