Flip-Flap-Tattoo of Daddy Devilthresher's Flail-Flings

New York: L. Biswurm & Co, 1889. Paperback. Very Good. Paperback. VERY SCARCE. An eclectic collection of writings (mostly poetry) ranging in subject matter from the benefits of religion (prose piece) to fluffy poetry about aunts, flowers, ... and death to a naval battle in Denmark that happened in 1848 (prose) to a prose piece on strikes, somewhat comical letters from a father to his son, and more. Following is an excerpt from "Campaign-Song" dated 1888 - "Flip-flap! Here's a slap, For the good-for-nothing snap, Who would sell his Country's weal for his own benefit, Or his party's dirty rags, Or the boodler's money-bags, Or whatever bait is offer'd by some shuffling hypocrite." Seems relevant despite being nearly 150 years old! Bostelmann was also the author of Schippenbauers Wanderstab. Very good in grey paper wraps. Both wrappers are detached but present. Minor chipping and creasing to wrappers. Stamp to title page. Interior is otherwise clean. 168 pages. Poetry. POE/3123.
