Broadside. Print. Image is 8" x 6" 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 powerful print of a soldier holding a rifle behind a group of men, all looking over their shoulders with anger. One man is holding up the frame of a slumping woman. 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.

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.

Signed
Condition: Fine. SIGNED. Untitled linocut print on lightly textured paper measuring 29 cm x 33.5 cm. Signed and inscribed by Patri below image: "To friend Ernie King. Patri." A warmly-dressed rifleman approaches the edge of a snow-covered cliff in an arctic landscape. Wordless novelist Giacomo Patri is best known for his 1940s book White Collar, a rallying cry to unify the Depression-era working classes. "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.

Paperback. Condition: 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 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. 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.
