About This Item
Cleveland: Central National Bank, 1928. First Edition. Sewn binding. Fine. Folio, unpaginated [16pp.], illustrated. A fine copy in the publisher's sewn wraps, with only the most trivial nick at the crown. A fantastic Cleveland item; a handsomely-produced commemoration of a new mural at the Central National Bank, one of Cleveland's long-established financial institutions. The mural (by Cleveland artist Ivor G. Johns), though executed just before the Wall Street crash, clearly antcipates the WPA style, which would follow a few years later. This explication of the artwork - it's characters and their meaning - reflects the almost unbridled optimism of that era; endless natural resources, the value of hard work and the plentiful rewards that await the willing participant in the American economy. To think, consulting this volume, that in just two years thousands of Clevelanders would be out of work and waiting on bread lines is almost unthinkable. Rare; OCLC records just two separately listed holdings, at the two most logical instututions: Cleveland Public Library and WRHS.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
