A subversive youth gone wild party scene original cover painting by Peter Driben likely used for a paperback book title published by the Novel Library imprint. During the 1950s a hedonistic bohemian fictional sub-culture existed where teens smoked reefer and engaged in orgiastic exploits while becoming addicted to heroin. In showing these delinquents pursuing their darkest sinful desires, the illustrators of the day seemed to take great joy and this is a prime example of this sort of homage to debauchery.

A basement unsupervised teen party that appears to have benefited from mind altering substances, the participants are either smoking, making out or riding each other as if on a carousel, a swinging party by all accounts, from the estate of Charles Martignette.
