1970190631970. Anti-WarVietnam War "NO MORE WAR". Designed and photographed by Terry and Dennis Newell 1970. Measures 35" × 16" on offset tan lithographic paper. This monochromatic anti-war poster illustrates three scenes of a man and woman in three stages of their lives. In the first photo a young girl innocently gifts a young boy flowers on a grassy field. The following image conveys the young girl and boy in their adulthood---dressed in typical 1970's attire---as the woman hands flowers to the man in great despair. As her partner leaves to fight in the war she is left on the field longing for his return. Yet in the last image she is left lying flowers atop his coffin wrapped in the American flag. The Vietnam anti-war movement from 1960-1970 was one of the most pervasive displays of opposition to the government policy in modern times as protests raged all over the country. As a result posters like these were just one of the mediums used to highlight anti-war narratives. Five inch tear on the top margin minorly affecting the title text. Signs of foxing and discoloration to due to age otherwise in very good condition. unknown

Group of 22 hand-made papers hand hand-printed in Cholon various colors gold & silver foils various kinds & sizes all in excellent condition fine Joss examples of "after life" offerings by surviving relatives. . . . A COLLECTION OF 22 AUTHENTIC CHINESE-VIETNAMESE . . . JOSS PAPERS INCLUDING GOLD BARS COINS & CLOTHING . . . WITH HUNDREDS OF SHEETS OF PAPER EXAMPLES . WHAT IS JOSS: Venerating the ancestors is based on the belief that the spirits of the dead continue to dwell in the natural world and have the power to influence the fortune and fate of the living. The goal of ancestor worship is to ensure the ancestor's continued well-being and positive disposition towards the living and sometimes to ask for special favors or assistance. . Rituals of ancestor worship most commonly consist of offerings to the deceased to provide for their welfare in the afterlife which is envisioned to be similar to the earthly life. The burning of spirit money enables the ancestor to purchase luxuries and necessities needed for a comfortable afterlife. . WHAT IS JOSS PAPER: Jin Zhi or Xiang Zhi is Pinyin for Chinese Joss Paper meaning "Gold Paper" or "Fragrant Paper." They have also been called "Yinsizhi" Netherworld paper "Zhiqian" paper money "Ming bi" "Shade/Dark money" and several other similar names has been used over the centuries. . These papers have been burnt as offerings common in Chinese ancestral worship to venerate deceased family members and relatives on holidays and special occasions. They were also used as offerings in the worship of gods using similar Joss papers. . These papers were in two categories: 1. Paper representations of Chinese coins or currency some called: "Hell Notes" being large tied stacks of money. . b. Three-dimensional paper-crafts & papier-mâché made into items of daily use sent to the deceased ancestors or Gods for use in the "after life." These objects were made into objects of daily use such as food clothing daily use objects burned "to ensure that the spirit of the deceased has lots of good things in the afterlife." These are often called "Jingyi" "threads and clothes" which is a type of Joss paper with printed images of items needed by the dead in "daily life" such as clothes shoes cups and scissors &c. . THREE TYPES OF SPIRIT MONEY: Different types of spirit money are given to distinct categories of spirits. The three main types of spirit money are copper cash silver and gold. Cash monies are given to newly deceased spirits and spirits of the unknown. . Gold Jin spirit money is given to both the deceased and higher gods such as the Jade Emperor. . Silver spirit money Yin is given exclusively to ancestral spirits as well as spirits of local deities. These distinctions between the three categories of spirit money must be followed precisely to avoid confusing or insulting the spirits. . HAND-MADE PAPERS: Joss paper is traditionally made from coarse bamboo-fiber paper which has a handmade quality in variable coarseness with many natural imperfections. It is often mistakenly called "rice paper." . Traditional joss is cut into individual squares or rectangles. Depending on the region Joss paper may be decorated with seals stamps pieces of contrasting paper engraved designs or other motifs including gold & silver colors representation gold & silver. Red stamped decorations are also used red being festive or color of good luck and fortune. . The above liberally extricated from the Wikipedia article. .

1950186871950. Barber Command Sergeant Major. U.S. Army 17th Field Artillery Battalion photographs circa 1960s to 1970s document integrated military training and the advancement of an African American senior noncommissioned officer within the post-desegregation Army. The images center on activities at a Noncommissioned Officer Academy and within field environments placing the archive within the period following the formal integration of the U.S. military and during the era of the Vietnam War. The repeated presence of Barber in both instructional and ceremonial contexts situates him within the upper ranks of enlisted leadership documenting the visibility and authority of Black noncommissioned officers at a time when opportunities for advancement had only recently expanded following mid-twentieth-century reforms.<br /> <br /> Archive of 30 black and white silver gelatin photographs. United States circa 1960s to 1970s. Photographs range in size from approximately 7 x 5 inches to 4 x 3 inches. Images depict integrated groups of soldiers within the 17th Field Artillery Battalion known as "The Persuaders" engaged in training and daily activities. Scenes include artillery instruction trench digging weapons handling camp life chapel gatherings and a graduation ceremony in which soldiers take an oath and pass a unit flag. Several photographs show Barber prominently including moments that appear to document formal oath-taking or advancement within the noncommissioned officer structure. The photographs appear to have been taken across multiple locations including a more rugged field setting and a separate academy environment.<br /> <br /> Following the desegregation of the U.S. armed forces in 1948 African American soldiers increasingly assumed leadership roles within enlisted ranks particularly during the Cold War and Vietnam War periods. The position of Command Sergeant Major represents one of the highest enlisted leadership roles in the Army responsible for discipline training and the welfare of soldiers. This archive provides visual evidence of integrated unit cohesion professional training systems and the presence of Black leadership within those structures. The combination of field exercises and formal ceremonies offers material for examining race hierarchy and institutional culture within the modern U.S. Army. Light wear consistent with handling; overall very good condition. unknown
1973185751973. Cooper Howard L. Vietnam War photographs and promotion letter circa 1970s document African American noncommissioned officer service within an integrated U.S. Army and the formal evaluation structures governing advancement during and immediately after the conflict. The material centers on Sergeant Cooper's presence within a deployed unit in Vietnam alongside fellow soldiers and local civilians and extends into the postwar administrative process through a typed recommendation for promotion dated 1973. Together the photographs and letter situate the archive within the broader context of African American military participation during a period marked by both expanded combat roles and documented racial disparities in discipline assignment and promotion within the armed forces.<br /> <br /> Archive of 20 vernacular photographs and one typed letter. Vietnam and United States circa 1970s. Photographs include 15 color Kodak snapshots measuring approximately 5 x 3.5 inches or smaller depicting Sergeant Cooper and fellow soldiers primarily in uniform in Vietnam. Four black and white Agfa snapshots measuring approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches show Cooper other servicemen and Vietnamese children. One Polaroid photograph includes two African American men standing beside Cooper with handwritten captions. Additional images depict base life and group interactions within the unit. Accompanying the photographs is a typed letter recommending Sergeant Howard L. Cooper for promotion signed by Transportation Supervisor Alice J. Griffin Fort Ord California dated 14 November 1973 one page measuring approximately 8 x 10 3/8 inches.<br /> <br /> African American soldiers served in large numbers during the Vietnam War with many attaining noncommissioned officer roles that required both leadership within units and navigation of institutional structures that did not always provide equitable advancement. The inclusion of a formal recommendation letter alongside the photographs connects personal service to bureaucratic recognition documenting how military authority evaluated performance in the postwar period. The combined visual and documentary record offers material for examining race leadership and military administration in the Vietnam era. Photographs show light wear; letter with pinholes discoloration and minor ink smear at upper edge; overall very good condition. unknown
1970185581970. Vandergriff Sergeant. Vietnam War photographs 1970 to 1971 document integrated U.S. Army service during a period when African American troops were serving in substantial numbers in combat units and negotiating both military duty and racial dynamics within the ranks. The images record a tour of duty from basic training through the final days before return home placing the archive within the later phase of the Vietnam War when troop morale racial tension and antiwar sentiment were all intensifying within the U.S. military. The presence of a visibly multiracial unit with many African American soldiers situates the photographs within the post-desegregation military structure established after World War II offering direct visual evidence of daily life interpersonal relationships and combat readiness in an officially integrated force.<br /> <br /> Archive of 68 color Polaroid photographs. Vietnam 1970 to 1971. Images measure approximately 3.5 x 3.5 inches to 3.5 x 4.5 inches with approximately one quarter mounted to black board and the remainder loose. Several loose photographs include handwritten captions and soldiers' names on verso. The sequence follows Sergeant Vandergriff's service from training through deployment with scenes including soldiers smoking drinking and posing with standard-issue M16 rifles and M1911 sidearms. Additional images show helicopter interiors and aerial views a destroyed grounded helicopter tanks aircraft drill formations and encampments. Photographs also depict Vietnamese villages and local civilians including two children bathing in a river. Unit identification is not explicitly stated in the archive. Other photos depict aircraft drill marches tanks weaponry villages and locals including two Vietnamese children bathing in a river. It is not clear which unit these troops belong to. It is possible they are in the 101st Airborne which was prominent at both Birmingham and Evans.<br /> <br /> During the Vietnam War African American soldiers served in disproportionately high numbers in combat roles particularly in airborne and front-line units at a time when the U.S. military was confronting internal racial conflict alongside external war. This archive documents the lived experience of a multiracial unit operating within that structure showing informal social interaction alongside military activity and equipment. The combination of candid personal imagery and operational context provides material for examining race military culture and everyday life in a late-stage U.S. combat theater. Some photographs show minor staining and image degradation; overall very good condition. unknown
1968197531968. Photographic archive 1968-1969 documenting African American enlisted personnel in the United States Army Transportation Corps during the Vietnam War era with emphasis on training environments unit structure and daily life on base prior to overseas deployment. The material captures soldiers in both formal and informal settings providing visual evidence of military preparation racial composition within units and interpersonal dynamics among predominantly Black troops during a period of significant racial tension within the U.S. armed forces. The archive supports research into African American military service segregation and integration practices and the lived experience of soldiers during the late 1960s.<br /> <br /> Archive of 41 original vintage photographs primarily color with several black-and-white images ranging in size from approximately 3.5 x 3.5 inches to 3.5 x 5 inches. The photographs depict soldiers in a range of uniform styles including standard fatigues seasonal dress variations and Transportation Corps-specific elements such as white belts shoulder cords red scarves and helmets with distinctive markings. Several images show troops in formation with rifles raised while others capture training environments featuring sandbag trenches artillery placements and fortified structures resembling pillboxes. Interior scenes document barracks life including soldiers playing cards maintaining uniforms and interacting in relaxed settings. A black-and-white image shows an African American soldier posed near signage for a "Leadership School and Honor Guard" at a U.S. Transportation Center while another identifies a seated "battery clerk" labeled informally as "Johnny my Running Mate." Additional photographs include racially integrated groupings with Black and white soldiers appearing together in casual and structured contexts.<br /> <br /> Produced during the height of the Vietnam War this archive provides insight into the transitional phase between training and deployment emphasizing both institutional structure and personal experience within military life. The presence of both formal drills and informal social scenes allows for examination of hierarchy camaraderie and daily routine among enlisted men. Light handling wear and minor surface marks; overall very good condition. A substantial visual record of African American military experience within the U.S. Army during a pivotal period of twentieth-century conflict. unknown
1965212871965. Archive of original photographs documenting African American soldiers serving in the Vietnam War during the early phase of large-scale United States military escalation in Southeast Asia. The material captures the daily experiences military operations and interpersonal relationships of Black servicemen stationed at Bien Hoa Air Base circa 1965 including members of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team. The photographs provide primary-source visual evidence of integrated military life during a period when African American troops served disproportionately in frontline combat roles while racial inequality and civil rights struggles intensified in the United States. Particularly significant is the candid nature of the images which were apparently taken by an African American serviceman identified by the surname Thomas offering an unusually personal perspective on Black military experience during the Vietnam conflict.<br /> Collection consists of 56 original black-and-white silver gelatin photographs measuring approximately 3.5 x 3.5 to 3.5 x 5.5 inches primarily loose with two mounted to an album page. The photographs depict African American soldiers at Bien Hoa Air Base near Saigon identifiable through a photographed base sign and visible 173rd Airborne Brigade insignia on soldiers' uniforms. Numerous images portray Black servicemen posing casually outside tents reading letters socializing in small groups smoking resting and interacting with fellow soldiers emphasizing camaraderie and the routines of military life between operations. Several photographs document airborne training exercises with parachutists descending beneath open canopies over the surrounding landscape. Other images depict military infrastructure and equipment including jeeps sandbag fortifications stacked munitions barracks areas and transport zones associated with the logistical operations of the base. The archive also includes photographs taken during off-duty excursions into Vietnamese civilian areas including a riverside marketplace crowded with vendors boats and local residents. Additional images show soldiers posed before local monuments and religious sites including one photograph of Thomas with a white serviceman in front of a Buddhist temple and another featuring a tall obelisk monument surrounded by military statuary.<br /> The archive documents the lived experience of African American servicemen within integrated combat units during one of the most consequential military conflicts of the twentieth century. Bien Hoa Air Base served as a major operational center for airborne and aerial missions during the early years of sustained U.S. intervention and the presence of Black paratroopers within these photographs provides important visual evidence of African American military participation during the Civil Rights era. Unlike official military photography the informal and personal nature of the images preserves moments of friendship boredom training and interaction with Vietnamese civilians that are often absent from institutional wartime records. Minor edge wear and light handling wear throughout; photographs remain sharp and well-preserved overall in very good condition. A substantial and historically valuable photographic record of African American military life in Vietnam during the mid-1960s. unknown

The committee that commissioned this poster's printing was known colloquially as the New Mobe founded in 1969. The New Mobe was one of many student groups that advocated for resisting the draft during the Vietnam War. Groups like the New Mobe shed light on the often-predatory practices of the draft and on the damage the war inflicted on American and on Vietnamese lives. This poster provides a wealth of information on the kinds of actions the New Mobe and other groups performed in order to voice their opposition to the draft and to the war.

1968220901968. PropagandaCounterculture Ты / Uncle Sam Wants You! New York: International Poster Corp. 1968. Offset lithographic poster in red black and cream tones measuring 21 x 29 inches. A striking Cold War-era visual pastiche that fuses Soviet revolutionary imagery with American military propaganda this poster was issued during a peak moment of political unrest in the U.S. amid the Vietnam War and domestic resistance movements.<br /> <br /> This design is a bold recontextualization of the iconic 1920 Soviet recruitment poster "Ты запиÑалÑÑ Ð´Ð¾Ð±Ñ€Ð¾Ð²Ð¾Ð»ÑŒÑ†ÐµÐ¼" "Did you volunteer" by Dmitry Moor repurposed here with the English slogan "Uncle Sam Wants You!" emblazoned below in tall confrontational type. The juxtaposition of Soviet iconography-complete with red army uniform factory smokestacks and Cyrillic lettering-with a phrase universally associated with U.S. enlistment efforts delivers a searing critique of militarism nationalism and ideological doublespeak on both sides of the Cold War divide. Produced by the International Poster Corp. a commercial publisher in the late 1960s known for distributing countercultural and revolutionary imagery this poster was marketed to radical bookstores and student groups across North America. It exemplifies the era's politically charged appropriation of state propaganda styles as a vehicle for anti-war New Left and student movement critiques. The figure's accusatory point lifted directly from Moor's original underscores a shared visual vocabulary of coercion that transcended ideological boundaries. Very good condition with strong color retention and no visible tears small surface abrasion on recto not affecting images. Printed copyright and publishing line along bottom margin. An evocative artifact of 1960s countercultural print culture merging international iconographies of enlistment and resistance. unknown
