Descripción

PUNCH, first published in 1841, was a humorous weekly periodical published in London to high literary standards and illustrated to equally high artistic levels. Graham Greene and P G Wodehouse were contributing at the time and illustrators such as Ardizzone, Thelwell, and Searle were producing quality work. Steinbeck's scarce contributions seem to span 1954-55. Here are seven of his highly entertaining contributions. Aug 54:" Fishing in Paris" (compares national characteristics and attitudes to fishing in France, Britain and U.S.A.); Sept 54: "Good Guy - Bad Guy" (a longer piece over four pages on American television); Nov 54: "One American in Paris - Reality and Illusion; Jan 55: "One American in Paris - A Plea for Tourists" (American tourists); June 55: "Report on America" (Life in the United States); Aug 55 "How to Recognize a Candidate (American Presidential Election); Nov 55: "Writer's Mail" (a very funny account of the author's fan mail). These separate issues of Punch are getting scarcer now and all these clean, firm copies are in Near Fine condition. The Steinbeck pieces sit alongside lots of other entertaining material and sophisticated contemporary advertising. 40% price reduction now applied. N° de ref. del artículo 000834
