Philadelphia: Dauphine Press, 1985. First Edition, First Printing. Rare book of prose and photos celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Specifically, Fat Tuesday, "the final day of bacchanalia before the Lenten fasting begins." Chris Peditto has written a short story about a drunken day in New Orleans filled with outrageous characters. That's followed by a series of striking black-and-white photographs by Roea Wallace. Many of her photos show people in masks or costumes (with a couple of lewd scenes thrown in for good measure). Each photo is accompanied by a short text by Peditto on the opposite page. Wallace and Peditto were active in the Philadelphia art and poetry scene in the 1980s. Wallace now lives in Louisville, her hometown. Peditto, who was known professionally as C.

The inscription on the title page reads: "For Al, Fine…
