It consists of 19 lithographs that were hand-colored with watercolor by the artist and his friends.[2] His mother Julia Warhola did the calligraphy, and is responsible for the dropped “d” in the title, which Warhol chose to preserve.[3] Between 150 and 190 copies were made, to be given to friends and family.[2]
Facsimile editions were published in 1987 (which reproduced the colors of copy 4) and 1988.[2][4] Both facsimiles came in a slipcase with a volume of Holy Cats by Julia Warhola, a work she first created in 1957, advertising her own authorship as “Andy Warhol’s Mother.”[4][5][6]
