Item description
GOD'S COUNTRY:
A Short History
Written and illustrated by Ralph Barton
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1929.
First edition, first printing.
1929 date printed to the title page.
Hilarious landmark caricature-style cartoon illustrations with captions throughout by the famous Jazz-age caricature artist who illustrated GENTLEMAN PREFER BLONDES.
This, his debut authored book, is an easy to read, enjoyably written history of America, spiced with humorous and anecdotal tidbits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Barton (1891-1931) was the most in-demand caricature artist of the 1920s, for magazines, books, and theater publications. He was a friend of Charlie Chaplin, who encouraged Barton to make a silent film titled CAMILLE.
A rather elusive first trade edition in dust jacket.
End-papers mildly age-toned, tiny soil mark to rear cover, else nearly fine in red over blue linen with silver embossed stars to the front cover and with silver embossed titles and stars to the spine; in a price-clipped very good dust jacket with a 1 X 0.5 inch piece missing from the lower edge and a 1.25 inch creased tear from the upper edge of the front panel, tiny chips to the upper and lower spine edges, and with a half-inch creased tear to the lower edge of the rear flap fold.
Octavo; 330 pages; plus index; plus author biography page.
