Revolt

New York: Dutch Treat Club, 1935. First Edition. Playfully INSCRIBED on the first blank by illustrator Frank Godwin: "Dear Edith / in case you or the kids want to know, this is Wally as a sweet little Scotch boy / Try to be like him / Frank Godwin." Inscribed on the rear endpaper by illustrator J.M. Flagg: "Edith / Do you know your husband on a party? Who does. I do. He's terrible / J.M. Flagg" (sic). Below Flagg's inscription is a small, humorous drawing by Ham Fisher.

The Dutch Treat Club was a social club originating among the regular contributors to "Life" magazine in 1905. Every Tuesday morning illustrators and writers would head to "Life"'s headquarters in Manhattan to await review of their submissions by editors J.A. Mitchell and Thomas Masson. A number of contributors began lunching together while in the city, eventually organizing themselves officially as the Dutch Treat Club. In addition to Street and Irwin, the group's cofounders included James Montgomery Flagg, Rupert Hughes, Ellis Parker Butler, Frank Ward O'Malley, Will Irwin, and George Barry Mallon.

Very Good in illustrated boards, with no dust jacket, presumably as issued. Boards lightly rubbed, with an evenly toned spine, and fray on the top corners.
