This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/5/2019
Representing the World Champion 1929-30 Montreal Canadiens – their first of back-to-back Stanley Cup victories, we have an especially scarce "Les Canadiens en Caricature" book from 1930 featuring the legendary club. At 6” x 9”, the 44-page soft cover booklet contains wonderful full page caricature drawings with bios of team members along with management including Hall of Fame inductees Howie Morenz, Aurel Joliat, Sylvio Mantha and George Hainsworth, with a number of interesting period ads throughout. Originally purchased for 25 cents most likely at the concession stand at the Montreal Forum during Habs games, this seldom seen treasure is the perfect accompaniment piece to the matching “Maroons in Cartoons" booklet also offered in this auction.
In beautiful overall condition with tight staples, minimal wear to the spine and just light handling wear throughout, there is some toning to pages along with a few minor stains over the back cover, with some rusting to the staples as well as light spotting/foxing to the centerfold.
