Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. George Ade (1866 - 1944) was an extremely popular American humorist and newspaperman, whose genial satire was, in some ways, of the same nature as Mark Twain's. He satirized American culture and society, specifically the mid west and Chicago, which city was the base for his syndicated newspaper articles. Ade's most famous work was "Fables in Slang" which popularized the use of vernacular speech in all of its singularities and crudities for use in literature. "Breaking Onto Society" is well representative of his work. The book is profusely illustrated with comic drawings by John McCutcheon, F. Holme (Frank Holme) and others. This is a 1904 edition, published by Harper and Brothers; it is likely the First Edition, Second Printing [with red binding, and no date on the title page, just on the copyright page]. It's a very nice specimen with but modest signs of wear from handling (Read our full condition report, provided below). TITLE : Breaking into Society AUTHOR : George Ade (1866 - 1944) ILLUSTRATIONS : Various ( John McCutcheon, Harry Smith, Frank Holme, et al) IMPRINT : Harper and Brothers PLACE : New York & London DATE : (1904) EDITION : Likely First Edition, Second Printing STATUS : This edition OP PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : Illustrated trade hardcover; contains numerous line drawings, including frontispiece and decorated title page; 208 pages; 4 3/4" x 7 3/16"; dark red cloth binding with lettering and decorative embellishment stamped in black on spine and front board - rear board blank. Fore- and bottom - edges rough cut. CONDITION - VERY GOOD - This is a previously owned book which remains clean and presentable, with the following imperfections and particulars noted : EXTERIOR - Color on spine has faded; spine extremities are compressed; modest rub to joints;; front board faded along top edge, else color is strong; surface rub to front is mild; rear cover has a small, just visible damp stain at the foot of the cover next to the joint; cover's color is strong, and surface rub is mild; small, scattered nicking to board edges; corner tips are softly bumped; text block edges toned, else clean. BINDING - The book has obviously been read and thus is not as tight as when issued, opening easily and widely - however no leaves are detached or loose, and the whole remains solid, with no cracking. INTERIOR : Paper throughout is lightly toned; the most obvious thing is that the first reader separated the leaves somewhat carelessly, leaving the fore-edges somewhat ragged (this is a common thing found in old books which were issued with their leaves still joined at the edges). Else, the interior is clean and free of marking. There is one penciled owner's name at the top of the front free end-paper. (Bramley). All in all a nicely preserved copy. John McCutcheon, Harry Smith, John Holme & etc (illustratore).…

Newman, of the Chicago Record-Herald, whose cartoons have appeared daily upon the front page of that paper for some time past. While his draftsmanship is of a high order, this talent is only secondary to his keen insight into the motives which govern men in political or social life, and his unique manner in delineating human frailties and making even the passions of men ridiculous. Thus his pen-drawings are more powerful than the word pictures of the writer could be, for they reach the humblest understanding and make their impression upon the minds of the wisest. It is in the talents of the cartoonists in modern journalism, among whom Mr. Newman has already won his spurs, that the greatest power of the press li es. Mr. Newman was born at Racine, Wisconsin, May 13. 1873. His parents moved to South Dakota when he was about nine years of age, taking the lad with them. After an absence of nine years the family returned to Racine and young Newman obtained employment in the machine shop of J. I. Case Company of that city. He had shown some aptitude for drawing, but had never had any particular training. Before the callous hands had become softened, in i8y6, he began work on the Chicago Journal, under Char les M. Peck. then, as now. the managing editor. In January, 1899, he accepted a position on the Chicago Record, continuing until its consolidation with the Times-Herald, where he now is. When with the Record, Mr. Newman undertook the making of cartoons during the absence of John T. McCutcheon in the Philippines, filling the position satisfactorily." -- from The Inland and American Printer and Lithographer, 1901. ; worn ; G. Book.…
