An Unsocial Socialist (First Modern Library Printing), With Willy Pogany Art Nouveau Jacket
Shaw, George Bernard; Willy Pogany (Jacket Design)
1st Edition. 1917
Hardcover Fine; Good+. 1st Printing. Nice Firm Clean copy ! No handwriting, no markings. Top of jacket spine removed to show binding title. Jacket has edge wear, short tears, missing chips. Dark green leatherette (faux leather), bright gold lettering and BL logo. Binding style #1. Green marbled endpapers. B-L Catalog C2 (18 titles, July 1917) on reverse of half-title page. Frontispiece portrait of Shaw. Jacket is designed by famed book illustrator Willy Pogany. Jacket lettering is in an Art Nouveau script font ('Modern Library' and 'Limp Croft Leather'). Field is dark brown decorated with fanciful green and yellow snowflake designs, similar to a wrapping paper. Designer's name appears in miniature print on front and rear jacket panel. Jacket flaps have a numbered Boni & Liveright C3 catalog list of Sept. 1917, also including the 'ghost title' 29.0 W.H. Wright 'Best French Epigrams'. Jacket is generic with no book title, therefor could be applied on any book in the catalog. Since jacket was produced between Sept. 1917 and Spring 1918 (catalog C4), it was perhaps used for holiday gift books, being more festive than the regular scholarly style jackets. Over the last 20 years collectors have reported only 3 others to exist, each on a different title, each with the top of the spine removed so that the binding title shows. William 'Willy' A. Pogany, born in Szeged, Hungary, in 1882, studied at Budapest Technical University and in Munich and Paris. His reputation as a muralist, painter and illustrator was well established in Paris, London and Munich before arriving in the United States in 1915, at the age of thirty-three. Skilled in an unusually wide range of media, he had won gold medals at exhibitions in Budapest, Leipzig, and at the Panama Pacific International Exhibition. Willy Pogany: 'I worked very hard in America, and have done, besides illustrating books, all sorts of pictures, mural paintings, portraits, etchings, sculpture, and built hotels and swimming pools. I also became very interested in the theatre and designed lots of stage settings and costumes for different shows and the Metropolitan Opera House. Later I came to Hollywood where I am designing the sets for movies, which I find very interesting indeed.' 250 pages. Boni and Liveright, Inc. / Modern Library New York, NY B006M0PZZM
