WORLD WAR IBiblio.com

A large collection of press photographs of the First World War in two albums.

1418190144Germany: Vertriebsstelle Deutscher Zeitungen 1914-18. Stunning large format images Two large albums containing a fine selection of double-size double-weight prints of press photographs attractively laid out and with a well-organized chronology. A remarkable overview of the First World War documenting seven European theatres between 1914 and 1918. The images are all press photographs sold by Vertriebsstelle Deutscher Zeitungen with their stamp on the versos. Many of the images are doubtless by official photographers - the portraits of officers group portraits and the like all suggest so - but others show Germans troops in distress and do not shy away from the hardships and horrors of war. The striking large format images are rare and unusual for this period. The photographs are organized geographically with each section marked by a corresponding laid in map of the region. Images of aerial reconnaissance large-scale battle scenes downed aircraft both English and German tanks bridges bombings and obliterated landscapes sit beside more intimate and amusing shots of recreational and ceremonial activities including dancing musicians and what might be half the winning half of a "tug-o-war". Furthermore we gain insight to the experience of troops on the ground. There are shots of soldiers fighting marching in trenches an Italian POW camp a paratrooper caught in a tree wounded soldiers recuperating in hospital and men hastily constructing wooden crosses to mark graves. Included is a rare photograph of a soldier of African descent and another of a soldier apparently being executed. There are pictures of German planes coming to and from bombing raids and English naval targets. Furthermore civilians are depicted: French peasants farmers driving cattle women children refugees and an elaborate funeral procession. This is a grand attempt to document every aspect of the war in Europe. Although the compiler of the album remains anonymous it was doubtless someone who worked for the company or perhaps one of the photographers whose work is included here. The album was probably put together in the years immediately following the war. The entirety of the first album is devoted to the Western Front. Commencing in the north of France Calais Dunkirk and Ostende then inland to Arras and Valenciennes to Montdidier St. Quentin and Meziers finally the area incorporating Chalons Bar le Duc Nancy and Remiront. It includes 321 photographs of which 69 are large size 106 are mid-size and there are 146 smaller size images. Northern Italy and Austria "Die Front am Insonzo" and "Zu den Kämpfen an der Kärntner-Grenze": 129 photographs of which 34 large size 53 mid-size and 42 smaller size images. This commences with two images "Uebesichtskarte über die Isonsofront" and "Insonzo-Offensive: Uebersichtsplan des Durchbruchgebietes." Russia and Poland : 146 photographs including 25 large size 46 mid-size and 75 smaller size images. Black Sea : 23 photographs of which 4 large size 9 mid-size and 10 smaller size images. Caucasus and Persian border "Der Kaukasus und die persischen Grenzgebiete": 20 photographs including 9 large size 3 mid-size and 8 smaller size images. Great Britain "Karte um Fliegerangriff auf London am 13.6.1917." 46 photographs including 9 large size 19 mid-size and 18 smaller size images. Baltic states : 11 photographs including 9 large size and 2 mid-size images. A fascinating collection which also covers political events meetings and conventions portraits of politicians among others a portrait of Leo Trotzky during these four years.

[Civil War – Confederacy] FH, Amanda F HBiblio.com

A Letter from Richmond Virginia September 1864 Concerning Textile and Flour Shortages

1864List2722Richmond Virginia 1864. Single letter measuring 8 x 5 inches one double-sided sheet. Excellent condition. A letter written by â€œCousin Amandaâ€ of Richmond Virginia detailing the price and quality of cloth cotton spools and flour available to her late in the American Civil War. The Confederacy was under a blockade and Union forces were destroying anything deemed valuable to the Confederate cause including cotton fields and textile mills causing prices to skyrocket even for inferior goods. Amanda writes that moldy cloth was being sold for what today would be well over $200 per yard: â€œAt some of the Jews stores today I found yard wide purple calicoes at $12 damaged with yellow spots all over them. The merchants assured they would wash out and Sue Coulling who was with me thought so too but I do not. Not one of them would give me samples to try. . Cotton is from $4 to $5 for a spool.â€ Most shocking is the cost of flour; Amanda thanks her cousin for â€œletting us haveâ€ some flour â€œso cheapâ€ as â€œIt is $350 here and we certainly expected to pay that.â€ A little over a year earlier in April of 1863 an armed mob of women in Richmond had marched on the governorâ€™s office in protest of the untenable cost of food storming and looting storehouses in what came to be known as the Richmond Bread Riot. Of interest for those studying civilian life during the American Civil War and especially textile history. unknown
