19855617San Francisco: Presidio Army Museum 1985. Three photographically-illustrated posters printed in red and black each 20 x 16 inches. Very minor edge wear and toning. Near fine. A visually appealing trio of posters celebrating the military service of Filipino Americans during World War II created for an exhibition at the Presidio Army Museum in San Francisco in the summer of 1985. The exhibition was titled "Forgotten Heroes: An Exhibit Honoring the Filipino Americans Who Served in the United States Army 1898-1945." Each poster pictures a different unit of Filipino U.S. Army soldiers with experience in the Second World War as follows: a group of infantry soldiers identified as part of the "Defense of Bataan and Corregidor;" eight members of Company E of the 57th U.S. Infantry Filipino Scouts; and the four soldiers comprising the Color Guard of the 1st Filipino U.S. Infantry Regiment in 1942. The first two posters cary the same title "Forgotten Heroes" while the latter poster is titled "'Bahala Na!' 'Come What May!' The Story of the 1st and 2nd Filipino Infantry Regiments in the United States Army" perhaps a smaller display within the larger exhibition. No copies in OCLC though we doubt the posters are unique perhaps residing in larger collections of Filipino American material. Presidio Army Museum unknown

193946634Shanghai: Nishimura Company 1939. Edition not stated. Quarto 26.5cm; black simulated leather stamped in red and gilt in brown paper slipcover; unpaginated photo-illustrated plates w/ rice paper overlays. Wear minor scuffs and soiling to boards; toning and foxing intermittent throughout text especially on overlays; some overlays creased or torn. Slipcover worn and chapped with abrasions and two large one repaired tears across front panel. Photo-illustrated pastedowns and endpapers. Very Good in Good slipcover. All text in Japanese with some obsolete/antiquated kana/kanji oriented right to left. This is a privately-issued commemorative yearbook-type photo album shashin-cho published on behalf of the Imperial Japanese Army medical forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War 1937-1945. Specifically it was produced for those who served under military physician captains/commanding officers Nobuo Isa and Tetsuo Fukaya who were stationed in or near Shanghai at the time.<br /> <br /> By July 1939 the Imperial Japanese Army was beginning to feel the impact of its own mounting casualties and costs; the Chinese Red Army would launch a major offensive later that November. While the Japanese occupation of Shanghai was notably brutal there is little evidence of violence in this album. However some photographs do depict the aftermath of battle with ruined buildings and soldiers being treated for injuries. Other subjects are mundane in nature: Staff and group portraits hospitals and other facilities physicians at work company events and ceremonies. Also includes photographs of Shanghai and a fold-out map of the Hangzhou Bay area. Apparently not cataloged in OCLC or available commercially as of November 2019. Nishimura Company unknown

Examples of the present map were used by Ottoman commanders who oversaw the successful Ottoman-German defence of Baghdad at the Battle of Ctesiphon 22-25 Nov. 1915 as well as the capture of the main British army at the Siege of Kut-al-Amara 7 Dec. 1915-29 April 1916.

With the text entirely in Ottoman Turkish the map is based on the British War Office's "Lower Mesopotamia between Baghdad and the Persian Gulf" 1911 which was itself in part based on Ottoman sources. Both maps were dramatically superior in all respects to previous efforts forming the culmination of over three generations of reconnaissance capped by critical late-breaking discoveries.Some light stains in the margins and the lower-right quadrant but generally in good condition.
