Oblong 12mo. (ii) (98)pp. Three full-page illustrations from photographs; numerous linocuts by John Held, Jr. throughout, including one larger image captioned "Lights Out!" Collection of over 80 patriotic songs for U.S. Navy personnel during the First World War. Held, whose work appears here signed "JH" or "J. Held" in a few images but is largely unattributed, worked for Naval Intelligence in Central America as an illustrator and cartographer. In the original printed wrappers with title printed on upper cover. Slight age toning to extremities, else a remarkably fine copy of a fugitive work whose purpose and construction would work against such a survival.
