First Edition Signed
Paperback. First Edition. Complete run of seven issues plus the final, rare "Suppressed Issue" produced in Canada. Landmark article "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved" in issue #4 signed by Ralph Steadman in red ink. A very Near Fine set, bright and clean set; truly excellent shape. No subscriber labels. Some wraps and contents age-toned, staples occasionally rusted. Scanlan's was a counterculture magazine that broke down nearly as many boundaries as its predecessor, Ramparts, during its short existence. It launched "gonzo journalism" with the article "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved" by Hunter S. Thompson, illustrated by Ralph Steadman, in its June 1970 issue-- that's the one with Nixon's face being punched into oblivion. Steadman's splattery signature graces the negative space around the derby-goer's head on the article's title page. He and Thompson would go on to collaborate on the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which brought gonzo journalism widespread popularity. The set also features work by R. Crumb, Alfred McCoy (author of The Politics of Heroin), JFK investigator Jim Garrison's cohort William Turner, and Robert Altman well as other Thompson (AKA Raoul Duke) and Steadman work.

Near Fine. Johann Caspar Lavater (1741 - 1801) "was the last and most influential of the descriptive physiognomists, a class of pseudo-scientists who attempted to ascertain character on the basis of physical features.Von der Physiognomik [1772], an unillustrated two-volume book, was Lavater's first work on the subject; this was later expanded, with the help of Goethe, into the four-volume Physiognomische Fragmente (1775 - 1778), and further perfected in a French translation, Essais sur la physiognomie [1781].supervised by Lavater himself. Lavater's physiognomy differed from those of his predecessors in that he paid special attention to the structure of the head, particularly the forehead - a form of psychological indexing that exerted some influence on the development of phrenology and brain localization theories in the early nineteenth century. Lavater's work also influenced artists of the period, both in the overall creation of portraits, and in the use of his physiognomical theories to construct individual faces in historical paintings" (Norman Library). Among the portraits included in Essays on Physiognomy are those of Descartes, Locke, Milton, Newton, Vesalius, Voltaire, and George Washington. Osler 3178. Near Fine.
