Overall a VERY GOOD book in a GOOD PLUS dust jacket. Robert Chesley Osborn (1904-1994) was an American satiric cartoonist, illustrator and author. According to Osborn's New York Times obituary, over his 50 year career, Osborn's "sardonic and often savage drawings in books and magazines have arrested readers with their images of bloated power, violence and death. At the same time, he could be wittily ironic about society's pretensions, spoofing subjects like psychiatry, suburbanites and social climbing.". First Edition. Quarter Cloth. Very Good/Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Hardcover.
