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
1970002618Various: Various 1970. First Edition. Very good. Eight posters ca 1970 - 1974; various sizes approx. 38 x 26 and 19 x 27; all in protective laminated sleeves; condition varies from good with nicks to edges creases and closed cuts to margins to very good or better with minor wrinkles and wear. A significant archive of posters they were published at the height of the Cold War and showcased the Bulgarian performing-arts scene under the guardianship of Liudmila Zhivkova 1942 - 1981 - a senior member of the Communist Party and daughter of Bulgaria's Communist Leader Todor Zhivkov. Remembered for her goal to promote the country's culture and arts on the international stage as well as to bring foreign culture to Bulgaria Liudmila was a controversial figure viewed by some as a forerunner of alternative ideas and freedom in the friggidly-unwielding totalitarian bloc and considered a spoiled "Red Bourgeoisie" child by others. At least one of the posters a double-sided one promoting the screening of Mikhai Semesh's Hungarian movie "The Magic Fur Coat" was created by renowned graphic designers Anton Mechkuev 1920 - 2011 and Grigor Angelov 1941 - . Another one for the premiere of the Bulgarian drama "The Best Person I Know" featured beloved Bulgarian actress Nevena Kokanova 1938 - 2000 known as the "first lady of Bulgarian cinema." Several of the posters listed opera and jazz performances a Greek play and puppet shows at several major theaters. One was a propaganda for the "Bulgarian Musical Youth" Movement for all young people who were Komsomol members. Various unknown books
