"Going thru" with a golden spoon : an illustrated story of the 52nd Brigade Field Artillery, American Expeditionary Forces
An illustrated memoir of the 52nd Brigade Field Artillery of the American Expeditionary Forces in the First World War, drawn and written by Dudley Hess and published in New York in 1919 for fellow soldiers and families. The pictures are bold black-and-white linocut-style prints and cartoon sketches, with heavy solid blacks, sharp white cuts and captioned slang, which a designer could use for vintage military posters, zine layouts or stark high-contrast graphics.
