1944175341944. World War II scrapbook of newspaper and magazine clippings 1945 to 1947 a compiled visual and textual record of wartime reporting and immediate postwar interpretation that preserves how mass media presented military technology global conflict and the transition into the atomic age. The scrapbook centers on the final phase of World War II and its aftermath with particular emphasis on aviation industrial production and symbolic moments of Allied victory. By assembling illustrated articles cover imagery and advertisements tied to wartime industries the volume documents the intersection of journalism propaganda and public understanding of modern warfare at the moment of Allied triumph and geopolitical realignment.<br /> <br /> Scrapbook containing more than one hundred pages of clippings from periodicals including Time Life and major newspapers with eighteen Time magazine covers dating from 1945 to 1947. Disbound but retaining original covers with printed design.

157128345Nuremberg 1571. Engraving printed on two sheets of laid paper joined. Engraver's monogram at the lower left. Early manuscript caption in English in the lower margin. Plate mark: 11 x 16 inches. Sheet size: 14 5/8 x 18 3/8 inches. Very rare German news-sheet map depicting the Turkish fleet invasion of Cyprus in 1570.<br/> <br/> Exceptionally scarce engraved German broadside map depicting the Ottoman fleet sailing to Venetian-controlled Cyprus in 1570. The early English manuscript caption in ink just below image reads: "The representation of the Turkish Navall Army in ye year 1570 going forth to meet the Venetian fleet." Cyprus then under Venetian rule was a strategic point for controlling shipping and trade in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Ottomans ruled by Sultan Selim II had long desired the island. Following a series of warnings and demands the Ottoman fleet commanded by Müezzinzade Ali Pasha and Lala Mustafa Pasha sailed for Cyprus in late June 1570. Depicted here the Turkish fleet was composed of an estimated 350-400 ships and upwards of 100000 men. Following sieges and massacres at Nicosia Kyrenia and Famagusta the island was taken by August 1571. Although the invasion was long-heralded the Venetian fleet failed to prevent the invasion or the subsequent fall of Cyprus to the Turks. However they subsequently raised the support of the "Holy League" of the Catholic maritime states in the Mediterranean and defeated the Ottoman fleet at the Battle of Lepanto in October 1571 off the western coast of Greece. The victory of the Holy League prevented the Ottoman Empire expanding further along the European side of the Mediterranean though did not end their possession of Cyprus. Jenichen who signed the map with his monogram 'BI' was the leading German publisher of news-sheet maps. Jenichen and compatriot Matthias Zündt took particular interest in the conflict and produced views and maps of it that equaled and surpassed those of their Italian counterparts. Given their ephemeral nature all are rare and desirable.
