Wonder Magazine, 1962
Wonder was the product of Henry Wolf’s class, Making a Magazine, at the School of Visual Arts.

The book was included in AIGA’s Fifty Books of the Year.

Commissioned by the London Transport Museum for a children’s exhibition in 1996, it was digitized by P22 founder Richard Kegler, with Michael Want, Mariah Kegler, Kevin Kegler, and Jennifer Kirwin-Want.
