192934333Paris November 1929. 1929. Fair. - A 7-1/2 inch high by 4-7/8 inch wide color portrait of Georges Clemenceau mounted into an 11 inch high by 7-1/8 inch wide mat. The portrait depicts the French Prime Minister from the shoulders up a period hat above his heavy white eyebrows and mustache. Signed "Clemenceau" in ink on the mat below the image. The portrait mounted with glue from the verso is scratched heavily creased and subsequently waxed to protect it. The crude mat's backing is stained and the keyhole mat itself is cracked at the bottom and top edges. <p>An autograph letter accompanying the signed portrait attests that Clemenceau signed the portrait on his deathbed. The letter dated November 29 1929 reads as follows: "Monsieur Monsieur Clemenceau ayant signe cette photographie que vous lui avez envoyee la veille de sa mort je me fais le devoir de vous l'envoyer. Bien respectueusement." Clemenceau died 5 days earlier on November 24th. This letter has been folded for mailing.<p>The leader of the Radical Party Georges Clemenceau played a central role during France's Third Republic serving as it's Prime Minister from 1906 to 1909 and subsequently leading the nation in the First World War. He again served as his nation's Prime Minister from 1917 to 1920. One of the principal architects of the Treaty of Versailles he pushed for the restitution of Alsace-Lorraine to France.<p>Provenance: From the autograph collection of Seymour Halpern.<p>The Queens New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern 1913-1997 started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law including measures on schools housing civil rights nutrition and mental health. A Liberal he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits including painting and collecting autographs he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. Paris, November, 1929. unknown

The longest section on 'Courts Martial' gives an impression of the tone: 'No 3222 Pte H Parsons 8 Dorsets was tried by D C M 14th August & sentenced to be imprisoned with Hard Labour for 56 days for Receiving stolen goods knowing them to be stolen No 4058 Pte F Armstrong 2 Dorestes was tried by D C M 14th inst & sentenced to be imprisoned with Hard Labour for 6 Calendar Months for “Committing a civil offence that is to say stealing.†Captain Pinwell Liverpools is appointed a member of a D C M ordered to assemble at Wynburg at 10-0 AM on Monday 18th. inst.' The two British prisoner of war camps on the Green Point Common – the Green Point Track Camp and the Sky View Camp – were established during the war to relieve severe overcrowding at the Simon’s Town camp.

Gradually the number of POWs were being sent from overseas camps to South Africa fell and the Green Point camp was closed. Green Point Camp [ Cape Town, South Africa ]. 16 August 1902. unknown

1918003479Privately printed. XV CORPS SERGEANTS - Sergeants mess Christmas dinner menu 1918 multi signed Mouvaux: Privately printed 1918 A Christmas day 1918 menu with a black and white staff photograph dated 1919 The Menu: A4 sized piece of woven paper that has been folded in 2 places to create a leaflet on the front has been illustrated by one of the staff a design by hand of the menu and this has been printed complete with the XV Corps emblem on each side of the front cover are illustrations initialled by the same artist also printed; in pencil one of the soldiers has signed his name at the top 'H Broadbridge' and I think it is more likely that he was an attendee at the dinner and the original owner of this menu; on the reverse in the centre is the menu that has been tipped in on either side are the hand signed signatures of attending Sergeants the waiters chef and senior officers there are 27 in total; overall this remarkable survivor is in good to very good condition there are browning marks along the folded lines and a few spotting marks; it is fragile as can be expected; it is nothing short of astonishing that this menu has survived. The photograph: A5 in size and in black and white; on the reverse there is a contemporary inscription that reads "XV Corps W.O Sergeants Mess Mouvaux Nr Tourcoing France January 1919" so this staff photo would have been taken only a week or two after their Christmas feast; it is likely that most if not all of the Sergeants pictured would have been at the dinner; overall in very good condition with some handling marks on the reverse of the photo. A scarce survivor that is somehow still with its accompanying photo of the band of Sergeants that would have attended the Christmas Dinner in 1918 in Mouvaux and signed this menu. On the front of the menu are two wonderful illustrations drawn to signify the end of the war with the ink still yet to dry on the armistice agreement. On one side the illustration shows a Sergeant crouched behind a rock with the caption "The observation post something!!! Xmas 1917" and then on the other is a Sergeant sweetly puffing on his cigarette dreaming of a turkey with the caption "Something good Xmas 1918". A reflection of the mood in the Sergeants mess at that time. XV Corps was formed in April 1916 and was an amalgamation of divisions and specialist companies such as a signals team and a mortar battery unit. Its aim was to support the army in critical battles across the western front where needed. The corps was large in numbers and so had these two dozen sergeants in charge of the men. They would see action in the battle of the Somme Lys Ypres and the final advance in Flanders with many shown in the photo and attending this dinner decorated heroes. A truly remarkable menu and photo from the final moments of the great war signed by the sergeants of XV Corps. . Very Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1918. Privately printed paperback
1863List308N.p. 1863. Dark carved wood 11 ½ x 11 ½ x 1 inches with bone border and star inlays in corners an inlaid tree with carved names of Civil War battles as leaves. During the Civil War wounded or captured soldiers would often pass their time waiting to return to duty carving relics. The practice was fairly common with pipes being the most commonly carved object and the quality of the relics varied wildly depending on the talent of the soldier. A.H. Barber from Wisconsin was wounded at Antietam and most likely carved this memorial piece while recovering from his wounds. Each leaf notes a different battle during the 1861-1862 campaigns. Barber enlisted in Company C of the 2nd Wisconsin in 1861 and was discharged in 1863 following wounds suffered at Antietam. The trunk reads Battles for the Union and the four branches read Dept. of the South Army of Virginia & of the Potomac and Dept. of the West with twenty-nine leaves naming battles. <br /> <br /> The resultant plaque is exceptional in timeliness craftsmanship and overall aesthetic beauty. Barber’s metaphorically growing tree is particularly timely for the Union cause as the 1863 failure of the Maryland Campaign would serve as inspiration to Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Wonderfully preserved in excellent condition with no notable flaws. From the collection of Norm Flaydernman the noted Americana dealer who personally collected carved Civil War pipes and had been planning to write a book on the subject at the time of his death. unknown

The photographs are numbered and captioned in the space between the two images; this collection comprises an unbroken run of 100 from '2597. Sentinelles avancées derrière un talus' to '2696. Pêche à la ligne'. There are numerous scenes depicting the misery of life in the trenches especially when flooded; other main themes include the bodies of German soldiers artillery batteries columns of infantry on the move towns and villages devastated by artillery fire pastimes in the trenches and military infrastructure. <p>Most appear to have been taken around Maricourt on the Somme near Péronne possibly in 1916 and possibly by the Section photographique de l'armée SPA. This Army Photographic Section was created in April 1915 with the aim of documenting the war and producing images to counter German propaganda. A number of its photographers were equipped with stereoscopic cameras most commonly using 6 × 13 cm negatives. Smaller than the traditional tripod-mounted cameras the compact stereoscopic camera allowed the photographer to move freely across the battlefield Ministère des armées website. The format and subject matter of these images would seem to support attribution to this unit. unknown

154267Ludwigsburg: O & M Hausser early 20th century. Among the earliest group of mass-produced component-rich and narratively situated strategy games published The A B C and F expansion manuals for this popular children's game one that "marked the shift in using not only toys but commercially produced board games to explicitly militarize and mobilize youth" Flanagan & Jakobsson p. 80. In total they introduce 34 battle scenarios inspired by campaigns from across the 19th and early 20th centuries. Jungdeutschland Schlachtenspiel was first produced in 1912 to create enthusiasm among children for the war. This was only one year after H. G. Wells had released a similar book Floor Games in England. "In the lead-up to World War I dozens of increasingly complex popular war-themed board games were published in Western Europe and in Germany in particular. By 1925 the war game's logic of regimentation and precise scale had seeped into a broader conception of the correct form and function of children's play" Brown p. 455. The first manual A featured eight example setups such as attacking a fortified position performing a river crossing or fighting for an armoured battery. Later expansions added layouts based on historical battles: Frederick the Great's campaigns in Manual B the Battle of Leipzig in Manual C the Napoleonic Wars of 1814-5 in Manual D and the First World War in Manual F. Manual A contains three loosely inserted battle diagrams presumably used by a former player. Manual C set in the 1813 Battle of Leipzig is in the presumably early pictorial wrappers. The other manuals are in uniform grey wrappers likely applied to later editions. 4 works quarto. Battle scenario diagrams printed in red blue and black throughout; text in German. Original pictorial and grey wrappers wire-stitched as issued front wrappers lettered in white and yellow or black rear wrappers of grey works stamped with publisher's device in black. Marginal pencil notes in manual C final advertising leaf excised in manuals A and B.
