193816826Los Angeles: Warner Brothers 1938. Lithograph in two colors 21" x 16-1/2" ca 54cm x 42cm. Vertical and horizontal fold lines; mild toning to paper on verso; Near Fine - Grade A/A-. Rare odd-size promotional broadside for the 1938 Warner Brothers exploitation drama "Crime School" starring Humphrey Bogart and the Dead End Kids. In addition to stills and renderings from the film the piece includes a full plot synopsis - something not included on any of the dozens of other promotional items for the film we have inspected. Apparently produced for the New York premier in 1938 at the Astor Theatre and likely produced not by the studio but the the theatre itself as part of its promotional campaign. Conceivably intended for distribution to the press but we posit that the piece was more likely created for mailing to schools and civic organizations who would no doubt be attracted to the film's "scared straight" approach to juvenile delinquency. Not seen at auction or in commerce. Warner Brothers unknown

192935124New York: D. Appleton & Co 1929. Second American printing first published in London 1925; the first American printing also appeared that year. Octavo; blue cloth boards lettered in gilt on spine and front cover; dustjacket; xviii 1-619 2pp; 15 inserted leaves of photographic plates halftones; text illus. A tight Near Fine copy in the scarce dustwrapper lightly soiled overall with a few nicks to extremities Very Good to Near Fine. Very nice copy of this classic of juvenile criminal psychology. Burt achieved great eminence during his lifetime in 1946 becoming the first British psychologist to be knighted as a reward for his research. Burt's methodologies came into question after his death however and it is now widely believed he falsified much of his data particularly that relating to the inheritance of IQ. Nonetheless the current work remains compelling for both its wealth of detailed personal case studies of British delinquents and the numerous photographic portraits which though clearly staged portray genuine subjects and are classics in their genre.
