"Another, more important, publication of Rackham's in 1921 was a long-delayed edition of Milton's Comus, the drawings for which, begun before the war, deserve to rank with his best work of that earlier period..." (Hudson). Comus (A Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634) is a masque in honour of chastity, written by John Milton. It was first presented on Michaelmas, 1634, before John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater at Ludlow Castle in celebration of the Earl's new post as Lord President of Wales. Known colloquially as Comus, the masque's actual full title is A Mask presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634: on Michelmas night, before the Rt Hon. Iohn Earl of Bridgewater, Viscount Brackly, Lord President of Wales, and one of His Maiesties most honorable privie councill. Comus was printed anonymously in 1637, in a quarto issued by bookseller Humphrey Robinson; Milton included the work in his Poems of 1645 and 1673. Milton's text was later used for a highly successful masque by the musician Thomas Arne in 1738, which then ran for more than seventy years in London. Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrator of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth, Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper (1892). Over the next few years, he took on more and more commissions for children's books, hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic-from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Latimore and Haskell, pp. 54-55. Riall, p. 143. Fine.

Title: African American Military Service and Base Life in the U.S. Army Transportation Corps, 1968-1969
Author: Black Soldiers in Vietnam
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1968. 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. 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. 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.
