AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
First Edition of this collection of Ralph Steadman’s drawings of American life. It is one of the most important Steadman–Thompson collaborations outside the better known 'Fear and Loathing' books.
This is the best of Steadman’s graphic reportage from the USA of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The drawings are mostly b/w, often with heavy ink splatter, grotesque caricature, and a deliberately exaggerated, nightmarish quality.
The subjects include:
- The Watergate hearings and the Nixon era.
- The Vietnam War and its aftermath.
- Disneyland, Miami, Dallas, and other iconic American places.
- Political figures, celebrities, and everyday citizens.
Bound in publisher's original full black cloth with the title stamped in white on the spine. In original illustrated dust jacket. Some wear and a small tear to top right of dust jacket, otherwise in quite a good condition and unclipped.
Book is clean inside and in a good condition.
Unpaginated but 80-100 pages.
31 x 23.5 cm
