New York : Jonathan Cape Harrison Smith, 1930. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good +. 8vo. Lynd Ward. Madman's Drum is the author's second of six wordless novels. In art deco style, Ward uses woodcut illustrations only to tell the story of tragedy and ultimate insanity that befalls a slave trader after stealing a demon-faced drum from Africa.

There is not a foot of ground that has not been already scrutinized by a thousand eyes as keen as yours, and the old adage, "If new not true," may be applied to Jerusalem and her monuments with more propriety than to any other place on earth...." - Introduction from Poet and Peasant: A… Read More
