Perils of a private : sketches of camp life

Stanley, Ted, Smith, Ray, bookseller. DSI · 1918 · Boston : Small, Maynard & Co. · 16 pictures

Perils of a Private is a 1918 American book of caricature sketches by Ted Stanley, published in Boston by Small, Maynard & Co., showing enlisted men's daily routine in World War I training camps for a civilian readership. The pen-and-ink cartoons are loose, spare line drawings with short speech balloons and captions, and a designer might borrow their wry, deadpan staging of barracks, drills and fatigue duty as a model for simple comic panel layouts.
