Harsh, Illustrated Anti – Woodrow Wilson Parody, Presidency Recast As Bible-ish Verse
[“Professor Dives”]. The Book Of The Prophet Wudro And The Fifth Book Of The Kings of Eng Being The Hypocrypha Translated out of the Oriental Tongues and with the former Translation diligently compared and revised. The Statesman Press, New York. 1920. First Edition.
A biting anti – Woodrow Wilson administration (and quite possibly The Book Of Mormon) parody, The Book Of The Prophet Wudro lambasts the events since the turn of the century in the form of faux-found, pseudo-Biblical scrolls, that tell the history of the “lost” nations of Amer and Eng, the United States and United Kingdom respectively. Removed from the ruins of a “Christian Science Templar” temple, the text includes an extensive, footnoted synopsis of the First World War, the rise of Lenin’s “Bolsheviki” in “Russim”, the creation of the League of Nations, as well as the First Red Scare.
The author’s harsh criticisms of the Wilson presidency include the “sacrifice… of Chi-na that the wise men of Nippon might have no lack nor them that feasted be forlorn”, catering to demands for oil from the Rothschilds, and his sponsorship of the anti-communist Palmer Raids of 1919-1920 “which maketh every Amerite to spy secretly upon his neighbor” recasting Attorney General Alexander Mitchell Palmer as “Pontius Palmer”.
3.5 x 6.25 ” staple bound pamphlet with faded printed black card wraps. Small tears at half-title staples from tension with book glue. Back wrap loose from end paper with remaining fragments of the opposing sheet’s surface. Pages toned, some dogearring and spotting. Seven black and white cartoon illustrations, stain to bottom edge of illustration plate 4. Good condition.
