The story
Art Portfolio Number Two, "Featuring the Works of Peter Randolph," carries a 1966 Guild Press Ltd. copyright, and its cover drawing is two soldiers pressed together in the grass with mountains behind them, faces close. It's tender and it's hot, and it sets the tone for everything inside.
Each plate is signed Peter Randolph and set in a white frame: a nude stretched long above an easel with one hand on the canvas, a dark-haired man tugging his briefs down, and a bat-winged devil with hairy legs, a tail and nothing on but a pouch. The inside cover offered the originals at $15.00 each from Guild Book Service in Washington, D.C., asked buyers to name second choices, and added that "the artist is not interested in accepting any commissions or freelance work."
