White Collar, c. 1940 - Linocuts by Giacomo G. Patri

Apologies for the quality of some of these images - these were taken handheld in pretty poor lighting conditions (the stacks of of the University of Oklahoma's Bizzell Library). I've selectively photographed certain prints that caught my eye - but it's really a shame to exclude so many - there are 128 linocuts total in the book!

Cover of Giacomo Patri's 1940 wordless novel depicting the hard times of an artist during the Great Depression titled White Collar. I believe the edition I've photographed here was published by Pisani Printing & Publishing Co. in San Francisco (1940).
