Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Edges and corners have wear and occasional chipping, there is occasional small loss to paper surfaces, different qualities of paper used in the magazine have different degrees of tanning, and some exterior surfaces are soiled.; The Philistine: A Periodical of Protest was a pioneering "little magazine" that was the next step up from "pamphleting" in the United States. Co-founded by Elbert Hubbard of Roycroft, The Philistine was a vehicle for his thoughts, rants, repackaged thoughts of others, and advertising that made it one of Roycroft's few self-sustaining periodicals. The Philistine published essays and other small works by various authors, but most content was stated as being written by Fra Elbertus (Elbert Hubbard). It's clear that staff writers wrote the majority of advertising copy that stressed the value of cars, furs, olives, rubber tile and razor blades, socks and soap, typewriters, tonics, and tooth powders. Roycroft-produced goods were heavily promoted and one could order leather and metal goods, plus furniture from their shops. Roycroft books were always advertised, including some that later scholarship determined were never produced as stated. The magazine was economical to produce and simple, to the point of being crude. Butcher paper covers were printed in black and red, with an occasional green capital, and interior text was in black with the occasional leading capital in red. Other than the advertisements, there were no illustrations accompanying the text. The back covers, however, were an opportunity for Roycroft's best illustrators to create caricatures that lampooned the government, the military, organized religion, social movements, and the various follies of our society. Known figures in the Roycroft community were subjects of more gentle humor in these caricatures. This lot of The Philistine is 78 copies. Back covers typically have "Roycroft mottos" or aphorisms, framed in Kelmscott style. A very occasional back cover advertisement. Dates of publication are generally 1898 through 1914. No volume (year) is a complete run of that year. These 6" tall chapbooks have string sewn binding that is holding well, but are in a condition typical for this ephemeral 10-cent little magazine that was not intended to last. Conditions vary from Very Good- to Very Good+. ; 24mo 5" - 6" tall; 40 pages.
