About This Item
New York and London: Albert & Charles Boni, Inc. and The Studio Limited, respectively, 1928. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good Minus. 4to. 29.5 by 21 cm. xi, [1], 16 pp., followed by 136 illustrated plates (mostly black and white, one color). Wonderful survey of caricature, with wide cross-section of top caricaturists of the day and of subjects/victims from all spheres of life -- politics, entertainment, etc. Also quite international in its selection -- not just the leading suspects of America and the U.K. The prefatory text pages have moderate to heavy foxing, and some of the plates are foxed as well -- mostly the ones with similar paper stock to the text pages. The majority of the plates are clean. The green of the green cloth binding is washed out mostly around the perimeter of the boards.
