LEWIS, SINCLAIR, ROBERT NATHAN & PEGGY BACON Off With Their Heads! By Peggy Bacon
New York Robert M. McBride & Company 1934
First Edition. A collection of caricatures of notables of the period drawn by Peggy Bacon, each accompanied by a portrait in words. Included are Sinclair Lewis and Robert Nathan. This is a remarkable book, the personal copy of novelist Robert Nathan (best remembered for his novels, A Portrait of Jennie, and, The Bishop's Wife) which has been humorously and sometimes caustically annotated by his friend, Sinclair Lewis. On the half-title, Nathan has signed the book and has written in ink: ÒRobert Nathan's copy - with notes by Sinclair Lewis.Ó At a number of points in the book Lewis has written in bold pencil, in his distinctive hand, his comments on the book. On the printed dedication page which reads: ÒDedicated to The Faces I Love.Ó Lewis has underlined the word ÒLoveÓ, added a question mark, then has written: Òwhom she loveth she raiseth hell with. Good Book. II Corinthians IV: 23.Ó At the two pages containing Bacon's portraits of Sinclair Lewis he has written: ÒOK, Sinclair Lewis.Ó One of the two portraits of Lewis, shows him composing at his typewriter, and this excellent image is the one Bacon chose to reproduce on the front of the dust jacket. At the two images of Robert Nathan, Lewis apparently had the notion that Bacon made Nathan look like former President Calvin Coolidge. Nathan has written in ink: ÒSinclair Lewis wrote these indignant denials.Ó At the heading which reads ÒRobert NathanÓ Lewis has crossed it out and written instead: ÒC. Coolidge (Ex. - Hon. Esq - L.L.D Hon Beloit).Ó Next to the large Nathan portrait, Lewis has written as dialogue coming from the portrait: ÒI do not c------.Ó which is a take off on Coolidge's famous line about again seeking the Presidency: ÒI do not care to run.Ó At the place where Bacon describes her caricature she in one line states that Nathan: ÒSuggests the cadaverous spirituality of an apostle by Greco.Ó Lewis has crossed out the word ÒGrecoÓ and has written in replacement ÒWill Hays,Ó the name of the censorship czar of the motion picture industry. At the ending two-page spread showing the two self-portrait caricatures of Peggy Bacon, he has crossed out her self-portrait in words and has written ÒSee next page.Ó On the following leaf, Lewis has written a full new word portrait and initialed it: ÒPeggy Bacon - Demure, innocent in seeming only - - licking the cream of celebrity, gulped like mackerel, from her lips - electric of whiskers. A dangerously accurate female - - except in draughtsmanship. SL.Ó Among the other celebrities depicted in the book are Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Thompson (Lewis' wife), Childe Hassam, George Gershwin, Carl Sandburg, Lillian Gish, Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O'Keeffe, Diego Rivera, Bill Robinson, Djuana Barnes, Edmund Wilson, etc. A very good copy in a very good dust jacket with some chipping.
