Lot Description
ROOSEVELT, Franklin D. (1882-1945). The Democratic Book 1936. N.p.: N.p., 1936. 

Folio. Gilt and illustrated title page with extensive illustrations throughout. (Occasional offsetting and toning.) Original publisher's morocco gilt (very minor wear to extremities). 

FIRST EDITION. LIMITED EDITION, numbered 1701. SIGNED BY ROOSEVELT ON THE LIMITATION PAGE under a watercolor vignette of the White House. The first issue "yearbook" was an extravagant publication that drew connections between FDR and Thomas Jefferson, outlined the party's platform and policies, introduced cabinet members, and included several statements from the President. Includes lavish advertisements, the inclusion of which was deemed controversial at the time.
