Thiebaud and Cunningham.


Item 106 is a signed, 1980 limited edition copy of Henry Miller's The World of Lawrence. It is marked "Twinka Thiebaud's copy." The lovely Thiebaud was Miller's cook, caretaker, and companion in the later years of his life. She is best known for appearing in Judy Dater's photograph, where a nude Miss Thiebaud has apparently been discovered in a forest by 91-year-old photographer Imogene Cunningham. $400.
