Joseph Moncure March's The Wild Party dates from 1928 and an illustrated version by Art Spiegelman was published in 1999. A personalized copy of the book bears a pencil drawing of what may well be a toxic brew, but on the other hand it could be just sweet wine. I suppose we'll have to drink it to find out.
Note: Once again, kudos to Stephen Kroninger for providing a unique scan or two for the old blog. Cheers!
As it happens, I'm always looking for scans or photographs of uniquely-personalized books by Art Spiegelman and other New Yorker artists. Down the hatch!
By the way, the new American Bystander #5 will carry the very first classified ad for this blog. I estimate between zero and five new visitors in the first year alone!
