About This Item
Cleveland: Railley Corporation, 1944. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Near Fine. 24mo - over 5 - 5¾" tall. Cleveland: Railley Corporation, 1944. The Spring, 1944 "Railley Pin-It-Ups" edition; in fact, Railley wrappers around a Zoe Mozert booklet of her mutoscope pin-up art, each example of which bears her imprinted signature as well as the monogram of Brown & Bigelow, the mutoscope card folks. Not actually cars, but the same art with dotted lines (not perforated) along which to cut the pin-ups out. See sample scans. 24mo, illustrated wraps (double wraps, Railley's around Mozert's, as noted above), 24 interior "pages" (each page being a Mozert pin-up on the recto, and a mildly bawdy cartoon on the verso, those cartoons being uncredited). 11 leaves are pin-ups + cartoon, the twelve is a delightful cottage-in-the-woods-with-flowers piece - that last one not being imprinted with Mozert's signature, but it does bear the same Brown * Bigelow monogram, it is within the Mozert wraps, and Mozert did do non-pinup art, so the cottage is probably by her as well. Near Fine; light dusty soiling to outer wraps (see scan), otherwise nothing to call out but peripheral micro-wear. Extraordinarily well-preserved little example of an even more extraordinarily rare piece from the all-American pin-up era back around the happier days nearing the end of World War II. Mozert is one of the all-time greats of pin-up art from any era; but you knew that. You won't be likely to find another one of these. Please review the several sample scans. L-35n
