Schnitzelbank. Metamorphosed from the Original German.
NY: Press of the Woolly Whale, 1938. Square 16mo. (30)ff., frenchfold. Illustrated throughout with line drawings by Fritz Kredel, whose straightforward and cartoonish style lends itself well to the lyrics of the "Schnitzelbank" song. The song itself is of the sort in which each set of lyrics builds upon the previous ones, resulting in a long rhyming list that the singer must remember as they go. Here printed as a small Christmas edition, the song's music is by Harry A. Groesbeck, Jr., the arrangement by Coenraad V. Bos, and the printing by George W. Van Vechten. The editors have taken the song at its traditional face, but altered some of the lyrics to match their interests. Bound in full red cloth over boards, with stamping in silver to upper cover and spine. Slight bumps to corners else near fine, and held in rare publisher's dropback box. Item #32020
