DIBOLL, COLLINS

New Orleans Anti-Prohibition Poster, Cocktail Recipes [SIGNED Original 1931 Collins Diboll]

New Orleans, Diboll & Gelpi. 1931, 1st. Poster, Folio. Art, Prints & Posters, Published New Orleans, : Diboll & Gelpi, 1931. 15 1/4" x 19 3/4" inches, printed in brown ink in reverse type and images, halftones, with white border. Poster is flat mounted on old corrugated board backing, unframed. Signed in pencil at bottom left margin: "To Karen and Doug, for SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE, Collins Diboll." The poster features numerous vignettes of human activity - eating, drinking, travel, sports, music, dance, entertainment and merrymaking, framed by inner and outer borders of humorous verse: "I used to know a clever toast but now I cannot think it, so fill your glass to anything and damn your souls I'll drink it." "Some are fond of drinking and others of high position, but we're for toleration and down with prohibition." The large central image is a navigational clock, with compass points at center and "Bonum vinum laetificat cor hominis" (Good wine gladdens a person's heart), with 32 drink recipes and images radiating to the circumference. Touching the circle in each corner are 4 detailed vignettes - Café de L'Opéra (French Opera House), Absinthe House, Sazerac Bar, and Roosevelt Hotel. Poster is very good, clean, unfaded, with strong images and text. There is a small chip to the white border at the upper right corner, and some lightly skinned areas along the white border edges at top and right, one tiny pencil point sized hole above the pot handle in the chef vignette. A fabulous piece. Rare. Very Good. Signed by Publisher.

Reclaiming Parkland: Tom Hanks, Vincent Bugliosi, and the JFK Assassina

NY, Skyhorse Pub Co Inc. 2013, 1st. (ISBN: 9781626365339). Hard, 8vo. First edition. Hard cover in dust jacket. Published Skyhorse, 2013, first printing. 8vo. xxviii+452pp. "Reclaiming Parkland details the failed attempt of Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman cofounder of the production company Playtone to make Vincent Bugliosi’s mammoth book about the Kennedy assassination, Reclaiming History, into a miniseries. It exposes the questionable origins of Reclaiming History in a dubious mock trial for cable television, in which Bugliosi played the role of an attorney prosecuting Lee Harvey Oswald for murder, and how this formed the basis for the epic tome. Author James DiEugenio details the myriad problems with Bugliosi’s book, and explores the cooperation of the mainstream press in concealing these many faults during the publicity campaign for the book and how this lack of scrutiny led Hanks and Goetzman to purchase the film rights. DiEugenio then shows how the film eventually adapted from that book, entitled Parkland, does not even resemble Reclaiming History, though the script for that film displays the same imbalance that Reclaiming History does." Very good plus in very good plus dust jacket. Very Good Plus/Very Good Plus.
