Count Nikolai Petrovich Rumiantsev 1754 â 1826 was Minister of Commerce and Foreign Minister in the period leading up to Napoleon's invasion of Russia from 1808 until 1812. He was also a voracious collector amassing an enormous collection of coins maps and over 28 000 books manuscripts and historical documents. The last of his family he bequeathed them to the Ministry of Education after his death. Emperor Nicholas I issued a decree on the establishment of the Rumyantsev Museum in 1828 and it opened its doors in 1831 occupying the Rumyantsev House on English Quay in St. Petersburg. It became affiliated with the Imperial Public Library in 1845. The museum was relocated to Moscow in 1861 to the Pashkov House opposite the Kremlin becoming Moscow's first public museum. It was renamed the Imperial Moscow and Rumiantsev Museum in 1913 while new acquisitions were continuously added to the existing inventory. In 1924 the Soviet Government decided to shut the museum down splitting the collections and transferring them to the Lenin State Library of the USSR the Tretyakov Gallery the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and others. The current volume covered a turbulent period the beginning of the First World War which had put a great strain on the staff and operations of the museum hitting especially hard the library where most employees had been drafted. It included a breakdown of the number of visitors and researchers from various nationalities financial reports and obituaries of members of the museum. It also prominently featured detailed bibliographical descriptions of new acquisitions in the various departments including books manuscripts personal documents objects of art etc. Apparently two other small pamphlets with a catalog of the Elzevir editions in the library and the letters of Turgenev to Countess Lambert were published simultaneously with the current one not present.

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. <br/><br/>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
