(COLLAGE ALBUM) Album entitled LaBelle Bowling Banquet at the Dellswith 64 hand-painted and photographic collages of "friends, fellow workers, barflies, and home talent hecklers." The album, authored and composed by Samuel Sye, depicts his colleagues and coworkers (of an apparent Steel company) as good-humored and banterful caricatures. The corporate bunch are shown performing habitual routines with lighthearted attention drawn to their unique foibles. Beer-drinking is a dominant theme, along with gambling, dancing, fishing, and more. Gouache illustrations with affixed silver print elements (90), overall each measuring 14x11 inches (35.6x27.9 cm.), with identifying names and humourous captions, in gouache, on recto. 4to, brown leatherette; ties. 1939
