The Brown Jug. Modernist Number. March, 1922. No. 5

Providence: Board of Jugglers / (Brown University), 1922.

Price: $500.00

Softcover. Folio. Illustrated wrappers. Two small tears at the bottom of the front wrap, a little rubbing at the spine, a near fine copy. Brown University wit and humor magazine, of principle interest as it contains some of the earliest work by Brown freshman, S.J. Perelman, who contributes at least three cartoons to this issue. Perelman was a cartoonist before he turned to short humorous essays and stories, and this must represent one of his earliest appearances in print.
