"Bird on Tongue" Hand made original engraving from 1967 14 3/4" x 11" no margins and no plate marks. Small edition of 390 back in 1967 This is from the original 1st edition, verified authentic and will include a new certificate of authenticity. The Dali Archives refers to signatures as "Dali signed in the plate" Quotes about Casanova: "Giacomo Casanova calimed to have dozens of oysters and precious game birds at every meal."
"I always made my food congenial to my constitution, and my health was always excellent." There are also quotes from Casanova's writings that have to do with "foul tongue", Casanova used the term when describing someone who said something he found offensive. Dali's interpretation lends itself more with Casanova's diet, as he beleived food had an effect on the sexual experience and Casanova talked about staying healthy by eating a specific diet. Salvador Dali was also known to have used various things as an "aphrodisiac" and had a great interest in preparing food. Much like Casanova, Dali would do things on his own that he beleived kept him in good health. One example was the rumor that Dali took baths in "Sardine Oil" And of course Dali was quoted as saying: "Cauliflower is erotic"
