Description: Vintage 1927 Humor Book SHE-SHANTIES by A.P. Herbert Stated 1st Edition This illustrated book measures 7 1/2 by 5 1/4 inches and has 109 pages. It is in fair condition. There is wear on the blue cloth board cover corners and minor damage on the upper spine edges. Inside the front cover is an inscription dated "May 15, 1927" (see photo 2). The interior is clean. The pages are free from writings, marks or stains and are secure to the binding. It is a delightful collection of ditties (rather than traditional poems) that humorously describe women of the time. Published in 1926, the book playfully portrays various female archetypes, including flappers, society matrons, vacuous airheads, and more. A.P. Herbert, an English humorist, novelist, and playwright, provides a gentlemanly assessment of the female population, accompanied by charming illustrations by A.K. Zinkeisen. It’s a glimpse into the social attitudes and cultural context of the era. I will combine shipping.
