1918WRCLIT82690Honolulu H.T.: Gurrey's Limited 1918. 631pp. 12mo. Drab wrappers printed label. A very good copy. First edition of the author's first book. After earning a medical degree in Boston and practicing in his native Maine for nine years Woodbury moved with his new bride to Honolulu in 1916 where he maintained a homeopathic practice for three years and was active in amateur literary and dramatic productions. In March 1919 he left the islands for San Francisco and after two years practice there he returned to New England. His war sonnets are interleaved with and often are responses to quotations from political military and literary writers Seeger Hagedorn Kipling Cicero Wells Bridges et al that are printed en face with them. Woodbury was not a combatant during the war but served as an examiner at the Honolulu Naval Station. OCLC locates some 20 copies but at this point one would be hard pressed to locate an actual printed original rather than a blurry p.o.d. [Gurrey's Limited] unknown books

Previously folded neat pinpricks in each of the top corners one panel on verso dust smudged short split at lower edge of midpoint margin else very good or better. One of the canonical WWII posters presenting a visual metaphor for the Allied nations executed by the Austrian-American artist 1915 - 1991 after his 1938 emigration to the US in the wake of Hitler's annexation of his home country. The image depicts a battery of artillery gun barrels decorated with the flags of the Allies all firing in unison into a tumultuous sky.

1942WRCLIT70141Washington DC: GPO / War Production Board 1942. Folio photolithographed broadside 40 x 28"; 102 x 72 cm. Folded as issued. Short closed tear at lower edge a few minor wrinkles at edges of folds minor breaks at apexes of a couple of folds with a slight trace of tanning along folds otherwise a near fine fresh unused example. A bold image by Riggs promoting increased homefront production dominated by a large waist-up figure of an American airman raising his goggles with his right hand and gesturing "thumbs up" with his left. Robert Riggs 1896-1970 was in his heyday one of the best- known artists and illustrators in the United States. After studies at the Art Students League and service during World War I Riggs settled in Philadelphia his home base for the rest of his life. In the 1930s and '40s he rose to national prominence as an illustrator lithographer and commercial artist producing well-known images of boxers and circuses two life-long obsessions and of soldiers during World War II. In 1940 around the peak of his career as an illustrator his drawings commanded $750- $1500 each and his name was as well-known in the trade as that of Norman Rockwell. Curiously at a recent auction of African American printed manuscript and visual material an example of this poster was offered quite tenuously making the assertion that the image is of a Tuskegee airman. On the basis of that assertion the example offered there realized $2400. GPO / War Production Board unknown books

Minuscule breaks at junctions of four folds otherwise a very near fine brilliant unused example. The larger of two formats in which this poster was issued as a forceful reminder about the need for security.

Another design by another artist with the same caption featured a dying paratrooper aloft over land. Prohaska moved in 1908 from his native Yugoslavia to the San Francisco Bay area where he received his formal art education. In 1930 he moved to NYC where he worked as an illustrator for a number of major periodicals and commercial accounts and eventually settled in the east end of Long Island. GPO unknown books
1943WRCLIT70153Washington DC: GPO 1943. Folio color photolithographed broadside 40 x 28"; 102 x 72 cm. Folded as issued. A very near fine unused example. The larger of two formats in which this poster was issued. It features a fair-haired US 2nd Lt. with his head bandaged and with some stains to his uniform cast against a backdrop of a desolate battlefield with armaments a shattered tree and barbed wire receding into the distance. Sloan b. 1915 began his career in commercial art in 1940 including commissions for covers and illustrations for such publications as Time Coronet and Collier's. After he was drafted the same year this poster was issued he did illustrative work for military manuals as well as larger commissions such as the 1944 watercolor "Station Hospital." One of his most widely exhibited works is the 1944 "Negro Soldier" now at the Fogg Museum at Harvard. GPO unknown books

1977WRCAM55443Various places in Thailand perhaps centering on Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base 1977. Seventy-seven Kodak color photographs almost all approximately 3 1/2 x 5 inches a handful slightly smaller and one postcard. Slim quarto. Contemporary glossy purple floral-patterned cloth photograph album gilt- stamped label on front cover. Some images slightly faded. Overall very good. A highly entertaining collection of vernacular photographs capturing the lives of young African-American G.I.s and their romantic interests in a village in Thailand during the latter years of the Vietnam War. The photographs show African-American men in both uniforms and street clothes often posed alone or with Thai locals almost exclusively women. The men are seen at work and play including an image of the gun shop with a sign labeled "Phase Section" on the front and a large military van with a similar sign reading "2 Orange." There is also a great deal of coverage of the locals living in the village including women and children. One photograph of particular interest shows part of a commercial building emblazoned with both a Coca-Cola and a Pepsi sign. The date range of 1972 to 1977 stems from the fact that some of the photographs are date-stamped in the margin "Oct 72" and one later image is stamped July 1977; most images seem to emanate from the earlier date. The single postcard is an image of Wang Not Ten Waterfall in Phitsanulok in north-central Thailand. The album could possibly have been retained by a local Thai person documenting their interactions with the visiting Americans. <br> <br> There were a half dozen active American Air Force bases in Thailand during the 1970s from which over 80% of the air strikes of North Vietnam originated. The American servicemen seen in the present photographs were either airmen performing these strikes or ground crew in support of the pilots. Also given that Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base and Phitsanulok are both in north-central Thailand it is likely the images depict this area. <br> <br> A rare look at African-American servicemen in a strategically important region of Thailand during the Vietnam War. hardcover books
