About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf , 1925. First American Edition . Hardcover (with Dust Jacket). Very Good. 8vo (Unpaginated, with 66 illustrations in black & white and color). A very good First Edition copy, collecting 66 Covarubias caricatures of famous figures, most of which initially appeared in Vanity Fair. The book has light wear to the corners and edges, some minor fading to the paper-covered boards and darkening to the spine, with an ink gift inscription on the front free endpaper, faint, scattered foxing to the endpapers and some toning. Else fine.
