Original Lithographed Poster: Ein Volk Hilft Sich Selbst - Winterhilfswerk des Deutschen Volkes

193818999Berlin: Nationalsozialistiche Volkswohlfahrt 1938. Lithograph printed in black and brown on cream stock 42cm X 30cm ca.16.5" X 11.75". Folded vertically at center with marginal toning to extremities and a few small corner creases; Near Fine. Original advertising poster for the Winterhilfswerk or WHW a social relief program designed to provide food clothing coal and other items to needy German citizens during the winter months October-March. The program was instituted under the government of Heinrich Bruning in 1931 though Hitler would ultimately claim sole credit for the idea. Depending on whether an individual was single or married and how many children he or she had recipients were entitled to a weekly/monthly stipend and rations of food and coal to ensure they and their families would neither starve nor freeze. Indeed the program's motto was "None shall starve or freeze." Under Nazi rule all German citizens were required to give to the program - one of Hitler's ingenious ways of uniting the nation. Large donations to the fund were also a means of establishing ones loyalty to the Nazi Party without the commitment of joining it. The present example explains how to donate to the fund and provides a detailed chart showing exactly how much individual or family recipients could benefit from the program. An attractive survival showing the dynamics of German social welfare. [Nationalsozialistiche Volkswohlfahrt] unknown books

An Appeal to the People: Containing the Genuine Entire Letter of Admiral Byng. and Further Particulars in Relation to the Case of Admiral Byng

175635625London 1756. 76 and 70 pp. This is one of the more tragic episodes in British naval history. On his way to relieve the garrison on Minorca during the Seven Years War Byng was surprised by the French fleet. After an indecisive engagement with the French he retreated without being able to resupply the garrison. Byng thought he was doing what he needed to protect his ships but public and official opinion were against him. He was found guilty of dereliction of his duties. By the law of the day this was a capital crime and he was executed despite appeals for clemency from people in power. See DNB. NMM V part 1 1168. The two pamphlets dating from the time of the event were written in support of Byng. Appeal is missing the bottom of the last leaf with no loss of text. Further Particulars has a dark smudge at the top of the title page. Both are otherwise in very good condition removed from larger volumes and both are scarce in the trade. Appeal presently appears online for $1500. Particulars for $750. Both pamphlets unknown books
