J. Wilfred Funk, Manhattans, Bronxes and Queens, 1931. Illustrations by Russell Patterson. (The text on the back cover is legible if you enlarge the photo.)

Funk was an elegant man about town, the son of the founder of the Funk & Wagnalls publishing house. His book dealt with the café society of which he was a member and can be seen as the printed equivalent of the Hollywood escapist movies of the thirties. The poems included “From a Downtown Skyscraper,” “The Einstein Blues,” “A Tippler’s Litany,” and “The Insatiable Sex.”
