Gilbert Rumbold was a prolific illustrator in the 1930s, especially known for his Art Deco inspired illustrations. He created beautiful fashion illustrations, decorative maps and - those 1930s obsessions - motor cars, ships and airplanes. It is, however, the Savoy Cocktail book for which he is most well known. The book offered here appears less typical of his work, though he did illustrate a book called THE ORIGIN OF LIFE.

Inscribed and signed by Anton Cermak in silver ink during the short time he was in office serving as Chicago Mayor (April 7, 1931 to March 6, 1933). Cermak died from wounds caused by an assassin's bullet fired three weeks prior to his death (February 15th) toward President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The inscription "To Tom Bowler From A J Cermak Mayor" on this cocktail book was made during the Prohibition Era (1920-1933), when the United States prohibited the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages. Harry Craddock was a master bartender and is credited with inventing "White Lady" and "Corpse Reviver No. 2" while working at the Savoy Hotel in London. He collected about 750 bar recipes, added some thrilling narrative (i.e. Third Rail Cocktail No. 2 is described as being "Simply splendid. Better than 11,000 volts") and published them in this Art Deco publication. Size: Octavo (8vo). Book.
