02701London: S & J Fuller 1819. Scarce Misery in the Army<br /> <br /> ALKEN Henry TALLY-HO Ben. Military Discoveries or The Miseries of campaigning in a series of seven plates being Hints to Young Officers. London: S & J Fuller March 24 1819. <br /> <br /> Oblong quarto 10 1/8 x 14 inches; 257 x 355 mm. Seven aquatint plates uncolored loose as issued and housed in a modern cloth portfolio with gilt-lettered black morocco title label and silk ribbon ties. Without title-page as issued.<br /> <br /> A rare and biting Regency military satire almost certainly drawn by Henry Alken here working under the pseudonym Ben Tally-Ho. In seven sharply observed scenes the series dismantles the romantic expectations of young officers by presenting campaigning not as glory but as discomfort humiliation danger and farce.<br /> <br /> The plates - issued individually rather than as a bound book - follow a newly commissioned officer through the realities of military life: sodden bivouacs enforced family "reparations" transport-ship torments battlefield mishaps perilous dispatch riding sudden night alarms and ignominious capture by enemy foragers. Alken's genius lies in his ability to balance caricatural humor with genuine physical jeopardy offering a satirical yet unmistakably truthful portrait of post-Napoleonic soldiering.<br /> <br /> This work is exceptionally rare. OCLC/KVK records only three institutional holdings worldwide University of London Brown University and the University of Michigan. The last recorded auction appearance was in 1961 more than half a century ago. Significantly the series is absent from Tooley Abbey and the Le Vivier Library catalogue the most comprehensive Alken collection ever assembled underscoring its extreme scarcity and peripheral survival outside standard reference corpora.<br /> <br /> Though often cited in references in a hand-colored state the present example survives uncolored a format consistent with early issue or economical distribution and increasingly rare in its own right. As an ephemeral print series rather than a conventional book survival was never intended.<br /> <br /> A remarkable and elusive Alken military suite - of great appeal to collectors of Regency satire British military iconography and rare sporting prints - representing one of the sharpest anti-romantic statements on army life produced in early nineteenth-century graphic art.<br /> <br /> The Plates:<br /> <br /> 1. In tasting the joys of bivouac you DISCOVER that in many parts of the Service the elegance of costume are not so much attended to.<br /> <br /> 2. On getting into a love affair you DISCOVER that the numerous parts of the family assisted by some professional gentlemen are determined to revenge the supposed injury.<br /> <br /> 3.

1968140944589New York: Black Mask 1968. Four issues of the far-out confrontational '60s publication of the anarchist Black Mask Group. Issues #3 4 7 & 10. 4 pp. each. Very Good condition overall with horizontal crease to each issue additional creases and light wear to #3. Rare.<br /> <br /> <p>From a recent reprinting of Black Mask and Up Against the Wall Motherfucker by Half Letter Press: <p>Founded in New York City in the mid-1960s by self-educated ghetto kid and painter Ben Morea the Black Mask group melded the ideas and inspiration of Dada and the Surrealists with the anarchism of the Durruti Column from the Spanish Revolution. With a theory and practice that had much in common with their contemporaries the San Francisco Diggers Dutch Provos and the French Situationists who famously excommunicated 3 of the 4 members of the British section of the Situationist International for associating too closely with Black Mask. The group intervened spectacularly in the art politics and culture of their times. From shutting down the Museum of Modern Art to protesting Wall Street's bankrolling of war from battling with Maoists at SDS conferences to defending the Valerie Solanas shooting of Andy Warhol Black Mask successfully straddled the counterculture and politics of the 60s and remained the Joker in the pack of both sides of "The Movement." .
