Hardback
Fine as new copy in embossed red cloth Hardcover without dj as issued. Violent, mystical, powerful, hot, sensual and sophisticated, red is the color, and this book celebrates it in its various incarnations in religion, fashion, design, medicine, architecture and contemporary art. See how red has been influential to Fellini and Kurosawa, James Turell, Picasso and Caravaggio. Witness the violent red of Andy Warhol or Cindy Sherman. The red of Buddhist rituals. The sophisticated red of geishas and lacquer, of Barragan and Villa Malaparte. The aggressive red of bordellos, lingerie, Nan Goldin and Barbara Kruger. The shocking red of bullfights. Linked in our imagination with the forbidden and the taboo, red provokes, fascinates, repulses and attracts, but never leaves indifferent. Book Condition: Fine

This book is non paginated but probably counts about 200 pages and is printed on extra-heavy stock. Included in the rear is also a reprint of Caruso's orginal letter writte n to the publisher of the book fifteen days before his death in which he included his last sketch of the famous Sizilian actor Giovanni Grasso. As to condition: the book is bound in faux-leather red/b lack marbled covers and the front hinge is loose. There is a nasty round waterstain on the last page close to the spine which extends through about 10 pages and has disolved some of the paper in that area. Sounds worse than it is because in reality, it does not affect the sketches but only the advertisements in the rear section.

Cashin, Hershel and Others
Under Fire with the Tenth U.S. Cavalry , Being a Brief Comprehensiv Review of the Negro's Participation in the Wars of the United States
Imprint: Chicago, IL, American Publishing House, 1902
Edition: First American Edition
A remarkably crisp and clean copy of this important work about the Spanish-American War and the role African-Americans played in it. Very minor cover wear only along the spine, the front cover illustration is bold and bright with red title and blue/silver image. This copy looks untouched and may never have been read. 361 pages, illustrated with over 100 fine engravings from original photographs made for this work exclusively. There were four Regular Army regiments recruited after the Civil War from the veterans of the US Colored Troops raised for war service. Two were infantry, the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth, and two Cavalry, the Ninth and Tenth. The Tenth Cavalry was mostly stationed in the west to keep order among the Native Americans who called them Buffalo Soldiers. There has been a continuing great interest in the deeds and motivations of these men in the face of rampant prejudice and social seperation. The Tenth's service has been perpetuated in the present order of battle of the US Army and there still is an active 10th Cavalry though it is now integrated. As nice a copy as you are likely to see. Image available upon request.. Book Condition: Near Fine
