Provenance: Sir Gilbert Elliot, 3rd Baronet and Lord Minto (1722-1777, Treasurer of the Navy, armorial shelf label with motto "credunt quod vident'. Sir Francis Vere (1560-1609), was one of the great Elizabethan military commanders, general of the English forces in the service of the United Provinces of the Netherlands. He retained this position during fifteen campaigns, with almost unbroken success. Working in close cooperation with the Dutch forces under Maurits of Nassau, he secured the country step by step for the cause of independence from the Spanish. His English troops acquired a cohesion and training fitting them to face the best Spanish troops, and his camp became the fashionable training-ground of all aspiring soldiers, amongst others not only his brother Horace, but men of such note as Ferdinando (Lord) Fairfax, Gervase Markham and Miles Standish. Notable victories were the battle of Nieuwport (1600) and the siege of Ostend (1601). In 1596 he had taken his men by sea to a victory at the siege of Cadiz. When James I made peace with Spain, Vere retired from active service and spent the remainder of his days in country life in England, occupying himself with the compilation of his Commentaries. These were prepared for publication by William Dillingham, Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University. See: Maurice Cockle, A Bibliography of Military Books, page 128, No. 166; Sotheby's The Library of the Earls of Macclesfield, Part 10, pages 348-349, No. 3828.

The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows…) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions… Read More
