Including Koral's request the donation of a painting from painter Tiraje Dikmen for an exhibition which is organized by the Amnesty International Istanbul Section in the Bedri Rahmi Gallery between the dates of December 6-17, 1979. Füreya Koral is one of the pioneering ceramics artists in Turkey. Known for her wall panels, Koral worked in a variety of media such as tiles, statuettes, plates, and also created household items. She started working on ceramics after she was diagnosed with tuberculosis, while receiving treatment at a sanatorium in Switzerland. She was a self-taught artist and her works were mostly ignored during her lifetime. Seeking to push the limits of ceramics beyond its function, she was inspired by the art of ancient civilizations of Turkey, Mexico and East Asia-Japan in particular. Her work is commonly known to carry a mix of Western and Eastern artistic elements. Tiraje Dikmen was born in Istanbul in 1923. After finishing at Isik High School in 1940, she graduated from the Faculty of Economics at Istanbul University in 1946. She continued her study in the workshop of Leopold Levy at the State Academy of Fine Arts.

Very Good English Original typescript letter (TLS) signed by Emin Onat, sent to the Dean Architectural Department Columbia University, NY, US, with the letter's first draft including Onat's autograph corrections on the paper. 30x20 cm. Written in a tissue paper. 1+1 pp. Text in entirely English. The letter signed under the title 'O. Prof. Architect Dean of the Architectural Faculty of the Technical University, Ist., Turkey' by Onat. 20 lines. Text: "Allow me to introduce the bearer of this letter, architect Dr. Mukbil A. Gökdogan Professor of Architectural construction in our Faculty. He has been selected by the council of our Faculty, to work in the united nation's buildings and also to study, while in your country, the problems of housing and the methods of prefabrications. Visits to your institutes of constructions and architectural education would also be of great interest to the Dr. I wish to thank you in anticipation for all the valuable help and many suggestions which I am sure you will offer Prof. Gökdogan. Would you please give your teaching staff the sincere compliments of their colleagues in this university. With my kindest regards. Sincerely yours...". was a Turkish architect and former rector of Istanbul Technical University. Onat was born in Istanbul in 1908. He entered Istanbul Technical University in 1926. Then, he was sent to Zurich Technical University. Onat was one of the architects of Anitkabir, the Mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. His architectural style was formed at ETH. Emin Onat learned to experiment, interpret, and search for modernism from his teacher Otto R. Salvisberg, a well-known, experienced practicing architect. Despite getting under the Anitkabir's shadow, he has a unique architectural style. Onat's architectural talent blossomed at Zurich Technical University, where one of his fellow students was Otto Rudolf Salvisberg, who later went to become one of the best architects of his time. Onat completed his studies in Zurich and returned to Turkey in 1934. Within a year, he had become an assistant professor in the Department of Architecture at the School of Engineering. He held the post for a couple of years that were marked by strenuous relations with the other members of the faculty, owing to the novel methods of teaching Onat introduced. In 1944 Onat became the first dean of the newly established Faculty of Architecture at the Istanbul Technical University. Anitkabir's design refers to antique mausoleums, so it causes a lot of discussions. The most significant and important characteristic of Anitkabir is that compatible with Rasartepe's topography. It has a horizontal silhouette. It has two perpendicular axes and it opens to the city from 4 ways. It has a bond with the city and this bond makes a design unique for a place, but the monumental look of it distinguishes Anitkabir from the city. Monumantalizing the design makes it a conceptual object. Anitkabir visualizes its symbolism even in its ornaments.

4to. 1 page. Call for donations "to all supporters of the Penny-a-Week Fund" to ensure the provision of medical supplies for Russia: "The magnificent resistance which the brave Russian people are making against Nazi aggression arouses not only our intense admiration, but a unanimous and urgent desire to give every possible help. I want to tell you about a simple but practical way in which everyone in Britain can now turn that desire into action. The War Organisation of the Red Cross & St. John has already sent over 100 tons of medical supplies to Russia, but the scale of the help which the War Organisation and the British public desire to render to Russia is so vast that it has been decided to open a separate Red Cross 'Aid to Russia' Fund. To this will go every penny subscribed to the Red Cross Penny-a-Week Fund during October, November and December. In this way many of the medical requisities which the stricken people of the Soviet Union so urgently need will be supplied at once from the proceeds of the weekly contributions of British working men and women. X-Ray apparatus, surgical outfits, drugs, serums, and many kinds of medical necessity must be sent by the Red Cross to Russia in an ever-increasing flow. Much has already gone; too much cannot be sent. I appeal to everyone to see that during the next two months the Red Cross Penny-a-Week Fund reaches a new high record [...]". - On headed stationery of "The Duke of Gloucester's Red Cross and St. John Appeal".

Very Good Turkish Original TLS by Nevzat Tandogan. 27,5x18 cm. In Turkish. 1 p. Punching holes on right side folded traces. A fine paper. Dated 30/6/1936. Seven lines. Letter/document sent to H[asan] Resit Tankut, (1891-1980), who was a Turkish historian and statesman when Tankut was a director of TDK (Türk Dil Kurumu [i.e. Turkish Language Society]). The letter says his thanks for Tankut's book titled 'Introduction to Turkish Linguistic Union' that he sent to Tandogan. Tandogan was the fourth mayor and governor of Ankara serving between 1929 and 1946. He committed suicide upon a political scandal he was involved in. Abdullah Nevzat Tandogan was born into a wealthy family in 1894 in Istanbul, then Ottoman Empire. His father was from Sarajevo and his mother from Belgrade. He completed his education at Istanbul Law School, today Istanbul University Faculty of Law. After the Surname Law was enacted in Turkey in 1934, he adopted the family name Tandogan. He was married and had two children. During World War I, he served as an intelligence officer in the Ottoman Army in Istanbul. In the later years of the war, he began a career as a school teacher in Istanbul. In 1918, he entered police service. After serving at leading posts in various police departments, he quit. He became Governor of Malatya in 1925 before he entered politics from the Republican People's Party) (CHP) and was elected into the Grand National Assembly as deputy of Konya in the 1927 general election. On November 4, 1929, he resigned from his parliamentary seat to take office as Governor of Ankara. Serving also as the acting city mayor, he was uninterrupted 17 years long in this position. Tandogan was a civil servant and politician of the single-party era (1923-1945). The political philosophy of the era was understood so as "the government has the authority to determine and to do what is useful and best for the country, knowing better than everyone, especially the folk". Tandogan's political attitude is described best with his words he said to a young man as "We constitute Communism in this country if it is necessary". Tandogan had a dissenting opinion to the 1929 Jansen Plan by German architect and urban planner Hermann Jansen(1869-1945). The plan proposed the integration of green belts and areas within the rapid-growing new capital of the newly established Republic for promoting a healthy urban environment. The realization of Ankara's master plan as different from the Jansen Plan is his practice. In 1945, a murder occurred in Ankara, which became known as the "Ankara Murder" (Turkish: Ankara Cinayeti). Tandogan was accused of intentionally and deliberately covering the murder case, in which Hasmet Orbay, the son of the then Chief of the General Staff Kâzim Orbay, was involved. Tandogan was summoned to court to testify after the case was discussed in a question time in the parliament. It was believed that calling a high-ranked civil servant or politician to the witness stand in a court trial was unthinkable during the single-party era before 1945. The next day, on July 9, 1946, Nevzat Tandogan committed suicide by shooting himself at home with a firearm. The main square in Ankara, which hosted many political party rallies and protests, was named in his honor. In 2012, the city council of the metropolitan municipality changed the square's initial name from "Nevzat Tandogan Square" to "Tandogan Square". A public park in Batikent neighborhood of Yenimahalle, Ankara as well as a street in Kavaklidere neighborhood of Çankaya, Ankara is also named after him.

Very Good Turkish Original typescript (TLS) and an important historical document signed by the Minister of Education. 25x19 cm. In Turkish (Latin letters). 1 p. Sent to "Musiki Muallim Mektebi" [i.e. The school of music teachers]. A document stating that the relevant travel planned in advance and submitted to the Ministry of National Education is deemed appropriate, but stating that the relevant ministry cannot provide financial assistance. Ahmet Adnan Saygun was a Turkish composer, musicologist, and writer on music. One of a group of composers known as the Turkish Five who pioneered western classical music in Turkey, his works show a mastery of Western musical practice, while also incorporating traditional Turkish folk songs and culture. When alluding to folk elements he tends to spotlight one note of the scale and weave a melody around it, based on a Turkish mode. His extensive output includes five symphonies, five operas, two piano concertos, concertos for violin, viola, and cello, and a wide range of chamber and choral works. The Times called him "the grand old man of Turkish music, who was to his country what Jean Sibelius is to Finland, what Manuel de Falla is to Spain, and what Béla Bartók is to Hungary". Following the operas, he was neglected in Ankara State Conservatory by its founder Paul Hindemith. He moved to Istanbul as part of the theory faculty at the Istanbul Municipal Conservatory. In 1936 Béla Bartók visited Turkey to research the native folk music. Saygun accompanied Bartók on his travels around the country, collecting and transcribing folk songs all through the Anatolia and Osmaniye (a region of Adana), Turkey. Saygun gained immense knowledge of Bartók's style of writing during this trip and learned a great deal about string quartets: they became great friends. In 1939 he was invited back to Ankara to further promote Western musical activities and practices. A year later he formed his own organization, Ses ve Tel Birligi, which showcased recitals and concerts throughout the country, further developing public knowledge of Western classical music. Gazimihal was a Turkish musicologist, researcher, historian, and writer. He, who died in 1961, was also the uncle of famous pianist Idil Biret.
