Paperback. Condición: Very good minus. Third Edition. Quarto [27.5 cm] in stiff black card wrappers with spine title and cover illustration printed in grey. Black and orange illustrations. Includes the afterword by John L. Lewis. The wraps are pulled away from the staple binding at the joints (wraps still holding tightly to the text block however). The front wrap has several small abraded areas. The preliminary leaves are lightly foxed. The illustrations are very bold, with sharp contrasts. This edition, preceded by the two hand-made editions, is the third and final iteration of Patri's original vision. A classic from the Great Depression and one of the finest examples of a 'wordless novel'. This work consists of 122 linocuts similar in style to the work of Frans Masereel or early Lynd Ward. Patri was inspired by the stock market crash of 1929 to create something that would help to unify (and unionize) the working classes. He began work on White Collar in 1930 and finally completed the book ten years later. Uncommon in any condition or edition. "White Collar was to be my contribution to, what I believed then, an indispensable understanding of the necessity of unity among all American workers and voters. I was not a writer, so illustrations in sequence were I thought the answer. "I had a printing press and lots of linoleum to use for linoleum cuts, so I set to work the idea of doing the entire job myself. I was young, naive and in a hurry, but I soon discovered that a book, a story, an ideal, each is a slow process, even with some help from the family. It took several years to engrave, print, bind and distribute a book that was seen by a very few people who did not need convincing." - Giacomo Patri - June,1975.

Paperback. Condición: Very good minus. Third Edition. Quarto [27.5 cm] in stiff black card wrappers with spine title and cover illustration printed in gray. Black and orange illustrations. Includes the afterword by John L. Lewis. The text block has pulled away from the staple binding at the rear joint (however it is still holding tightly to the front wrap). The wraps have roughly a dozen minor areas of abrasion. There are insignificant moisture stains to the top edges of the preliminary pages, and there is a small piece of tape to the recto of the rear endpaper. The illustrations are very bold, with sharp contrasts. This edition, preceded by the two hand-made editions, is the third and final iteration of Patri's original vision.

Condición: Very Good. Third Edition. Third edition. Unpaginated; 8 preliminary pages followed by 122 single-page linocuts printed recto only in black or orange. Staple bound in publisher's black wraps printed in white. Very Good with moderate wear and rubbing to covers, light soiling to text block edges, and moderate toning throughout concentrated at edges. Bookplate to first page, staples rusted. John Lewis's afterword following the last linocut has been excised. Printing remains bright with strong light and dark contrasts. One of the great graphic "novels without words" of the Depression Era, this was used as a promotional piece by the labor movement. It chronicled the aftermath of the 1929 stock market crash and was intended to motivate white-collar workers to unionize. Following World War II, Petri taught at the California Labor School in San Francisco, which closed in the 1950s under the pressures of McCarthyism. John Lewis was leader of organized labor whose autocratic tendencies antagonized rank-and-file union members, which may explain the removal of his afterword.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This is the first Pisani Printing & Publishing Co. edition, San Francisco, 1940, preceded by the two metal bound editions. Soft cover staple bound book in very good+/near fine- condition. There is a crease from top to bottom on the front cover to the left of the graphic and some light toning. This book was very carefully read as evidenced as the spine is not creased or cracked. There is some consistent even toning along the edges of the page blocks which does not affect any of the images. The page edges themselves are generally clean. The graphics are stunning in their beauty and pathos, all are bright and sharp. In my humble opinion this is one of the greatest graphic novels of all time and particularly relevant to today. Please note this example lacks the afterward by John L. Lewis epilogue. It appears to have been carefully excised from the back. Thanks to the knowledgeable and kind efforts of Ken Martens of Wordless Novels for his corrections to my listing. If I may paraphrase Mr. Martens, Lewis alienated some of his supporters who may have no longer wanted to be associated with him, thus it may have caused the afterward to be excised by some readers.

Broadside. Print. Image is 9" x 5" on and 11" x 7.5" sheet. Printed in black on cream paper, recto only. No date but Patri was active from the 1920s-1970s but this is early- to mid-20th century. A very nice print in keeping with Patri's sympathies with workers. A striking image of the side of a ship with a large cargo net filling the frame. A pallet of boxes dangles from a hoist while men below observe and another on the ship leans over to watch. Near fine. Giacomo Patri was an Italian-born illustrator, painter, instructor who emigrated to San Francisco as a teen. He studied at The California School of Fine Arts. He taught at the California Labor School before it closed, a casualty of McCarthyism. In 1948 he founded his own school, the Patri School for Art Fundamentals which was aimed at teaching adults with no art background. An important artist and educator, today is perhaps most remembered for his 1940 wordless novel, "White Collar: A Novel in Linocuts," a story of workers during the Depression.
