367. WWII anti-American racist poster by Gino Boccasile for Fascist Italy. (1940) A full year before America’s official entry into
WWII, Mussolini and his Fascist Italy were already ridiculing American troops. This was most egregious in the artist Gino Boccasile, who
was a dedicated Fascist supporter, and made something of a specialty during this time of fantastically demeaning ape-like African-American
soldiers, leering and looting as here with this stereotypically repellant G.I. plundering the Venus de Milo. Boccasile was tried (though later
acquitted) of “crimes” committed during the war. This rare outrageous image was recently featured in a major exhibition on racism against
African-Americans. Linen-backed with (2) tiny archival paper repairs (27 x 39.5 in.; 685 x 1003 mm.) very fine. $1,500 - $2,500

368. WWI “Men Wanted for the Army” recruitment poster.
(1914) Isaac B. Hazelton’s exquisite illustration, three years prior
to America’s entry into what was then known as “the European
War”, speaks directly to the adventurous Boy Scout wanderlust
of American youth. Linen-backed (showing old folds) stone-
lithograph with minimal retouching, (30 x 41 in.; 770 x 1041 mm.),
very good. $200 - $300

astonishing and arguably homo-centric panorama of happy, loving sailors from many nations, complete with lavender title and rainbow
palette. Each joyful young man is tagged below with his respective Allied flag: Japan, France, U.S., U.K. (Royal Naval Ensign), Russia, and
Italy. Unique, unprecedented slant on the sea-faring life nearly 100 years ago. An unfolded, unrestored virtually unmolested example (31.5

“Extra” printing of the London Gazette, announcing Germany’s
use of airship Zeppelins to silently float over England for stealth

effort. Stone-lithograph (20 x 30 in.; 508 x 762 mm.), unfolded,
very fine. $200 - $300
