Single sheet of stout card measuring approx. 4.5 x 7.5 inches (12.0 x 19.0 cms), obverse with gilt edges printed with the insignia of 'Admiral Inspector of the Fleet' in gilt and black and seasonal text in black; reverse blank, the whole housed in custom-made solander case. The seasonal text, SIGNED BY DONITZ IN BLUE INK , reads 'Grossadmiral Donitz dankt fur die guten Wunsche zum Weihachtsfest und zum neuen jahr und erwidert sie herzlich'. Grossadmiral Karl Donitz (1871-1980), German naval leader and Hitler's successor, commanded the Kriegsmarine during the latter half of WWII and is remembered particularly for his promotion of the U-boat offensive. He also served as Reichspraesident following Hitler's suicide in April 1945. Having authorised the German surrender he became a prisoner-of-war of the British and was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for war crimes (primarily for ordering unrestricted submarine warfare). Following his release from Spandau in October 1956, Donitz's reputation underwent a degree of rehabilitation and he took considerable pains to answer correspondence and to provide autographs when required (including a facsimile for historians and collectors of the Articles of Surrender which he co-signed with Montgomery). HOWEVER, DOCUMENTS SIGNED BY DONITZ DURING THE WAR YEARS ARE SCARCE.

Contemporary half leather over red cloth spine with raised bands gilt-lettered title all edges gilt binding worn but sound with rubbing to extremities and some skinning of the leather mainly on the back board; spotting and toning throughout occasionally heavy; indistinct bookbinder's stamp on front pastedown. An important and lavishly produced survey of the art of illumination from the fourth to the seventeenth century by Henry Noel Humphreys 1810-1879 one of the leading Victorian interpreters of medieval art with plates executed by Owen Jones the foremost designer and chromolithographer of the period. The text provides a concise but learned overview of Roman Byzantine Insular Carolingian Gothic and Renaissance illumination reflecting contemporary scholarship and the nineteenth-century revival of interest in medieval ornament. The magnificent full-page chromolithographic plates printed from stone in rich colours and often at the scale of the originals reproduce some of the finest examples of manuscript illumination including leaves from the Lindisfarne Gospels Italian Renaissance manuscripts Franco-Flemish court productions and Gothic devotional books. The plates remain vivid and striking. A good copy of one of the most significant Victorian publications on medieval art. Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans hardcover

With a newspaper-clipping on an event of Inverness Central School loosely inserted and with a newspaper-clipping shopwing the elderly "Earl of Southesk and Mr. Donald Steuart-Fothringham going out to shoot over Petterden Moor Angus". A wonderful association copy ! Charles Noel Carnegie 10th Earl of Southesk JP DL 20 March 1854 10 November 1941 was a Scottish nobleman. Carnegie was the son of the explorer and poet James Carnegie 9th Earl of Southesk and his first wife Catherine Hamilton Noel daughter of the Charles Noel 1st Earl of Gainsborough. He had three older sisters Lady Arabella Charlotte wife of Samuel Romilly Lady Constance Mary wife of Victor Bruce 9th Earl of Elgin and Lady Beatrice Diana Cecilia Diana Cecillia wife of the Rev. Henry Holmes Stewart. After his mother's death in 1855 at the age of twenty-six his father remarried to Lady Susan Catherine Mary Murray eldest daughter of the 6th Earl of Dunmore in 1860. From his father's second marriage he had seven younger half-siblings including: Sir Lancelot Douglas Carnegie Lady Dora Susan wife of Maj. Ernest de Rodakowski-Rivers Lady Elizabeth Erica Lady Helena Mariota Lady Katherine Agnes Blanche wife of Courtenay Morgan 1st Viscount Tredegar Hon. Robert Francis who married Violet Fraser and Hon. David Wynford Carnegie. His paternal grandparents were Sir James Carnegie 5th Baronet de jure 8th Earl of Southesk and the former Charlotte Lysons a daughter of the Reverend Daniel Lysons. He was educated at Harrow and St Andrews University and would later receive an honorary degree from the university in October 1902. Amongst his various offices he was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the part-time Forfar and Kincardine Artillery Militia in 1872 and steadily progressed through the officer ranks until he became the Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant in 1894 with the honorary rank of Colonel. He retired from the command in 1906. He also served as a Deputy Lieutenant for Angus Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire from 5 January 1900. He held the office of Justice of the Peace for Aberdeenshire and for Angus. In 1905 he succeeded his father as the 10th Earl of Southesk who had restored the family titles with the original precedence by reversal of the 1715 Act of Attainder in 1855. He had the reputation of being the best game shot in Scotland. In 1921 Kinnaird Castle which was situated in one of the grandest Scottish glens and was the seat of the Earls of Southesk for more than 600 years burnt to the ground. "Only a small part of the servant's wing has escaped. A considerable part of the library was saved but many books impossible to replace as well as Raeburn's portrait of Lady Carnegie valued at £10000 were lost." Lord Southesk rebuilt the castle. A prominent art collector he owned "a large collection of paintings by old masters and antique gems." Source: Wikipedia hardcover
194589879n. l. Paris: s. n. Paysage dimanche 1945. Fine. s. n. Paysage dimanche n. l. Paris s. d. 1945 11.50 x 22 cm 3 pages in-4 Autograph manuscript by the author 3 pages in-8 published in issue 21 4 November 1945 of Paysage Dimanche. Complete manuscript written on both sides in a very dense hand with numerous deletions corrections and additions. Together with the complete typescript bearing 3 autograph corrections in black ink. This text by Maurice Blanchot « Les malheurs de ""Peau d'âne"" » contains two paradoxes. Contrary to what its title suggests it does not deal with the work of Charles Perrault; furthermore this column is devoted to the tales of an author whom the critic had already cited in his article on the fantastic novel published the previous year in the Journal des Débats and whose work he appeared to have little taste for: Noël Devaulx. Yet with nuance Blanchot here reveals to the reader the qualities of these tales and beyond that their terrible relevance in the year 1945: « Il y a dans ces récits d'au-delà du monde un certain charme provincial qui est assez singulier ; ils n'ont assurément rien à voir avec quelque folklore mais se déroulant comme tout vrai conte ""aux environs de l'absence"" ils finissent par nous imposer cette impression que nulle part est une province morte que c'est un lieu aussi suranné précieux et ridicule que peut l'être la province la plus archaïque. Or cette impression ne laisse pas de nous inquiéter. Car ce monde qu'on nous découvre et qui a la fragilité l'air endormi et sournois des objets dans les vieilles maisons c'est le nôtre mais c'est surtout celui de nos inquiétudes les plus brûlantes celui de la surnature et du surréel. . Après la lecture de L'Auberge on rêve à l'autre monde comme à un modeste salon de campagne du dehors encore très respectable de bonne compagnie et même solide mais qu'on y entre et tout vole en poussière. » A subtly political reading of Noël Devaulxs tales. s. n.

19465703N.p. London: British Army Department of the Scientific Adviser to the Army Council 1946. First edition. Acceptable/Exercise Musk Ox was the first big Allied peacetime military maneuver after World War II. It took place in the polar region of Canada around Hudson Bay on the assumption that the arctic would be an important battleground in future wars. The maneuvers were intended to try out equipment and techniques. The Canadian army invited military observers from several nations including Britain. The expedition set out from Fort Churchill on Hudson Bay in February 1946 to travel over 3100 miles on "snowmobiles" that is modified 4-passenger light tanks that had been designed for an invasion of Norway which never happened. The route went north from Churchill to Denmark Bay then west to Norman Wells and south to finish at Edmonton. Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Croft 1906-1998 was the official observer for the British military. Before the war Croft had distinguished himself on the 1934 Lindsay expedition to Greenland covering over 1000 miles. The Wikipedia article on Croft claims that as a result of the Greenland trek Croft held the Guinness-endorsed record for longest self-sustaining journey for more than 60 years. For this and other expeditions he received the Polar Medal and the Back Award from the Royal Geographical Society. His distinguished wartime career included serving with a Special Forces unit behind enemy lines in Tunisia and several other covert missions in Scandinavia Corsica Italy and France for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. After acting observer of Exercise Musk Ox he was seconded to the Canadian Department of National Defense to develop clothing and equipment for Arctic warfare. Crofts report was produced for internal distribution only and very few copies exist OCLC locates one only. This copy belonged to the inveterate French polar explorer Paul-Emile Victor 1907-1995 whose life is as closely associated with Arctic regions as his friend Jacques Cousteau's is with the ocean. This copy of the Musk Ox report not only shows Victor's bookplate but includes an autograph signed declaration in French "The author Lt. Col. Andrew Croft is one of my friends. In 1934 with the Lindsay expedition he crossed the empty ice from Disko Bay to Uummannaq. Upon arriving Lindsay and Croft gave me their dogs and they became my top dogs " The text is illustrated with Croft's excellent photography. 34 cm; 59 1 24 2 pages and folding map. Appendices include 42 half-tone plates after photographs and table of recorded wind velocities. Distribution list at end. Bound in original green printed wraps stamped with accession stamps of the French Centre inter-armées de documentation militaire on upper wrap and on title page. Preserved in contemporary bristol board cover paper title label typed on upper board and spine.

1925W1862New York: Unpublished 1925. Original photograph by the Australian-American photographer Anton Bruehl 1900-1982. A vintage circa 1925 gelatin silver print mounted on cardstock. 7 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches. The photograph is unsigned but the composition of the still-life photo includes a roughly torn piece of paper that includes the caption that was handwritten by the photographer and is signed "Greetings Anton Bruehl." In 1919 the Australian born Bruehl along with his brother and parents emigrated to the United States where he worked for Western Electric as an electrical engineer until an exhibition of Clarence H. White's photographs persuaded him to change professions. In 1924 he enrolled in White's photography school and by the next year was hired to teach in the school. In a 1976 article for Image magazine landscape photographer Joe Deal observed that "Anton Bruehl's background in engineering and love of machine forms in combination with his training under Clarence White resulted in still life photographs which give the satisfaction of well-resolved formal problems and portraits choreographed with the rhythm and movement characteristic of the age." Bruehl's early black and white still-life photographs are much more scarce than his later color images and they seldom come on the market. The photograph is clean and bright with just a hint of edgewear and a 1-inch crease line at the bottom edge. . First Edition. Single Sheet. Collectible-Very Good.
