First edition thus of these satirical takes on the unfolding Sino-Japanese War, first published in the North-China Daily News in August and September 1937. Sapajou, the pen name of the Russian émigré Georgii Avksent'ievich Sapojnikoff, was the paper's long-serving cartoonist and a household name in Shanghai. His cartoons are sup…ported by extracts from "In Parenthesis," a humorous column written by the editor, R. T. Peyton-Griffin. Quarto. Illustrations throughout. Original buff card wrappers, tied with brown silk ribbon as issued, front cover lettered in black and with cartoon. Contemporary gift inscription on title page. Wrappers creased and nicked, old stains, signs of handling and occasional foxing internally: very good.
