American painter whose works, such as Why Not Use the 'L? and The Bowery (both 1930), depict life in New York City. Six vivid crayon sketches (the first is boldly signed in black crayon) on the first free end, last couple, and inside back cover of the book Societal Evolution, hardcover, 5.5 x 7.5, by Albert Galloway. Sketches depict a muscular man wearing a close-fitting cap and with his left hand on his hip; a suited, moustached man in profile; a figure of a shirtless, muscular man; a full-length sketch of a moustached man wearing an overcoat (signed “Marsh Spaghetti” in pencil above it); a small face looking to the left; and a man in a jacket and tie, wearing a moustache and a beret. In very good condition, with toning and a bit of soiling to the pages, expected wear to the covers. R&R COA.
