Kató Lukáts made a mark in almost every genre of applied graphics. She made colourful objects of commercial graphics, and displayed a mastery of typography in her book designs.This piece is a fine example of harmonizing the work of the poet and that of the graphic designer. Erzsi Gazdag specifically asked her publisher to employ Kató Lukáts as the illustrator of her works. Our collection holds all illustration designs for this volume. Along with the images, the artist was also responsible for the complete graphic design, from the fonts and layout to the title page and cover.This drawing exemplifies her elegant style, which is always a perfect match for the text. Between two trees, drawn with delicate, elegant lines, a humorous scene unfolds on the grass. A beetle in a red polka-dot headscarf is sitting on its small wooden chest, packing, with more packs in front of it, ready for the trip. Its old home in the hollow of the tree on the left adds to the comic effect.
