(ca. 31,5 x 23 cm). 2 S. (Fraktur). Original-Zeitung im kleinen Format, beidseitig bedruckt, mit Titel im oberen Bereich. Papier gebräunt und gefaltet, sonst wohlerhalten. Altersentsprechend guter Zustand. Sehr interessante Zeitung aus den letzten Tagen des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Aus dem Inhalt: Sowjets bei Fehrbellin geworfen / Die Schicksalsfrage / Eine Stunde mit kampfbewährten Hitlerjungen / Dem "Stalin"-Panzer überlegen / Das Bollwerk der Sechzehnjährigen / Triumph der Beharrlichkeit. Die Zeitung für die Soldaten der Wehrmacht und weitere versuchte auch in der aussichtslosesten Situation - wenige Tage vor dem Suizid Hitlers und der folgenden Kapitulation - noch zu mobilisieren. Die Rede ist hier überall von Entschlossenheit zum Kampf und von vorgeblich neuen Erfolgen in der Abwehr des Feindes. Über solche tendenziösen Meldungen geht der Text "Die Schicksalsfrage" noch hinaus. Dieser berührt sehr gut den gesteigerten Fatalismus bei Teilen der hitlertreuen deutschen Bevölkerung in den letzten Kriegsmonaten. Es heißt hier: 'Die Sirenenklänge des Agitationsjuden, wie: "es würde schon nicht so schlimm werden", wenn Deutschland die Waffen niederlegte, oder: es handele sich ja nur um einen "Krieg gegen die Nazis", verfangen schon längst nicht mehr bei dem deutschen Volk Adolf Hitlers. Auf der anderen Seite ist man ja im Gegnerlager unvorsichtig genug gewesen, besonders im letzten Jahr, die Katze vorzeitig aus dem Sack zu lassen. Sie haben ja oft und zynisch offen genug in die Welt hinausposaunt, was sie mit uns, dem deutschen Volk, im Falle eines Sieges der Alliierten - lies Weltjuden - vorhaben. Angefangen mit den hysterischen Entmannungs- und Sterilisationsplänen des Juden Kaufmann aus Neuyork, über die bolschewistischen Sibiriendeportationspläne, bis zu den Absichten, aus Deutschland eine ewige Wüste zu machen [...]." Auch ein Zeugnis des propagandistischen Eifers bis zum letzten Moment ist der kleinere Schlusstext "Triumph der Beharrlichkeit". Hier wird eingangs auf ein Zitat Friedrichs den Großen im Siebenjährigen Krieg referiert: '"Deutschland befindet sich zur Stunde in einer furchtbaren Krisis. Mir ward die Aufgabe zuteil, ganz allein für seine Freiheiten, seine Rechte und seine Religion einzustehen [...]"'. Später heißt es dann: "Was für die preußische Geschichte gegolten hat, gilt heute für die des Großdeutschen Reiches. Auch damals stand der Feind tief im Land und verwüstete Städte und Dörfer, auch jener Krieg kostete Blut und Opfer, brachte Tränen und Verzweiflung. Ueber allem aber triumphierte schließlich eine durch nichts zu erschütternde Beharrlichkeit. So und nich' anders ist es auch heute! / Daran wollen wir denken / Danach wollen wir handeln!". Auf die Propaganda-Kompanie "Eichkater" geht die Zeitung "Frontnachrichten" der Kriegsjahre zuvor zurück. Hier handelt es sich um eine Zeitung der Kompanie aus den letzten Kriegstagen. Ob diese Zeitung in weiteren Ausgaben bis Kriegsende erschien scheint fraglich. Es handelt sich nach unseren Recherchen um eine mehr als seltene Publikation der letzten Kriegstage, welche auch in Archiven so gut wie unauffindbar scheint. Äußerst seltene Archivalie und historisches Dokument aus letzten Tagen des NS-Staats!

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary quarter leather bdg. Handsomely bound. Six raised bands to spine, the second compartment has the title, the fifth has "issue 1-104", and the sixth has ex-owner's name of the volume, "Semseddin" lettered gilt. Original end-papers of the period. Slightly age-toned on the lower pages, fading on extremities of boards, overall a very good volume. Folio. (41 x 29 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters) and Turkish with Latin letters. This folio volume consists of 104 issues of the periodical, each issue has 4 pages, which has mostly color illustrated covers as well as several b/w ones. A rare togetherness of the first 104 issues of this Turkish satirical magazine, richly illustrated with thousands of attractive illustrations and caricatures, was published in Istanbul twice a week every Wednesday and Saturday with at least four, at most eight pages, during the Letter Revolution 1928, when the transition from the Arabic alphabet to new Latin letters was ensured. The collection provides an invaluable resource, reflecting the changes in society during and after the Letter Revolution in New Turkey, 1928, placing the new Latin alphabet instead of old Arabic letters and contributing to the development of reading and writing skills of the new Turkish society, as well as "creating the basis for the rapid social evolution in the young Turkish Republic Revolution" soon after the proclamation of the Republic in 1923. The newspaper had a printing house with the same name headquartered in Bab-i Ali (The Sublime Porte of Constantinople), the place where the heart of the Ottoman press was. Burhan Cahid Morkaya left Karagöz Newspaper and founded Köroglu Newspaper in 1928 and wanted the people living in Istanbul and Anatolia to be able to read and write new letters. Indeed, during the period of its publication, Köroglu Newspaper reached the most remote corners of the New Turkish Republic with its attractive cartoons covering local and mostly international subjects. In addition to this news and cartoons, Morkaya also published Turkish reading passages with Arabic letters that were transcripted into Latin letters. Therefore, he created a great positive effect that facilitated the transition to new letters during the Turkish Alphabet Revolution. Duman 1155.

Very Good Turkish Original artwork in watercolor, Indian ink, and dry paint. 11,5x9,5 cm. This rare original artwork of Mary and Jesus comes along an exceptional provenance of Turkish cartoonist Semih Balcioglu (1928-2006), with his handwritten note on verso "Cemal Nadir'in bir kompozisyonudur" [i.e. It's composed by Cemal Nadir]. Signed on right lower as "C. N". Unpublished work. Cemal Nadir was a Turkish cartoonist. He was born in Bursa, Ottoman Empire on 13 July 1902. His father Sevket was a calligrapher (Turkish: Hattat) employed in courts. After finishing high school, he began working as a sign painter in Bursa. He also created cartoons, and his first cartoon appeared in Diken (literally: "The Thorn") periodical. Although he moved to Istanbul and tried to be a full-time cartoonist, he could not make it and he returned to Bursa. The Alphabet reform of 1929 gave Cemal Nadir a second chance to show his talent. When Turkey adopted the Latin alphabet replacing the Ottoman Turkish alphabet in Arabic script, all sign boards were necessarily changed, and he worked hard to meet the demand. The same year, he moved once more to Istanbul to work for the daily Aksam. Later, he also drew for the newspaper Son Posta, as well as for satirical magazines such as Akbaba. He also contributed to Yedigün. During this period, he published the satirical magazine Amcabey. During World War II, he drew anti-Nazism cartoons in the daily Cumhuriyet. In 1946, Republican People's Party (CHP) invited him to run for a seat in the parliament. However, he refused the invitation, he said that with political affiliation he would not be able to create cartoons.

Very Good Arabic Original creme bdg. HC. Folio. (32,5 x 27 cm). Texts in Arabic with a bilingual title on verso of the cover in English and Arabic. [18] p., [15] unnumbered full paged color plates of the buildings in Jeddah separately tissue papers. Signed and inscribed in Turkish by Cidde emini [i.e. The Lord Mayor of Jeddah] Mohamed Said Farsi, dated 8.5.1984 to Turkish architect Selim Sabuncuoglu as 'Sayin Selim Sabuncuoglu, en güzel temennilerimle Jedda'dan bir hatira. Jeddah emini, Sait Farisi'. Sealed "YÜTAS: Construction Production Industry and Trade Co.". Dr. Mohammed Said Farsi, (1937-2019), was a former Lord Mayor of Jeddah, and a man of such aesthetic integrity that he traveled the world to meet with sculptors, painters, and musicians before replanning the city according to his own meticulously constructed vision. (Source: The Rake). Dr. Farsi was a visionary civic leader and philanthropist who is widely considered to be the father of modern Jeddah. He presided over a five-fold increase in the city's population, led its transformation, including creating the famous Jeddah corniche - a unique public space and an open-air gallery. Dr. Farsi, a noted art lover, was also the first mayor to introduce Western art and sculpture to an Arab city. He is survived by his son Hani Farsi and former wife Naglaa Asaad. Born in Makkah in 1937, Dr. M S Farsi qualified as an architect in Alexandria and returned to Saudi Arabia in the early 1960s. He entered government service in 1963 and rose rapidly. Just two years later he was appointed to the post of Planning Officer for the Western Region of Saudi Arabia. Covering an area larger than the United Kingdom and having within its boundaries the port city of Jeddah and the Holy Cities of Makkah and Medinah, this territory was in effect Saudi Arabia's window to the world and it was under Dr. Farsi's aegis that plans for these three cities were drawn up; given the immense significance of this work, Dr. Farsi liaised with the very highest levels of government. In 1972, Dr. Farsi became Mayor of Jeddah, a city that had grown from the historic walled city of his childhood to a large modern conurbation of more than 300,000 people. Until the middle of the following decade, Dr. Farsi presided over a period of spectacular and unprecedented growth for the city, which saw its population increase five-fold. That chaos was averted in the face of such a population explosion was due in no small part to Dr. Farsi's enlightened leadership. It is remarkable that in the midst of creating much-needed infrastructure, Dr. Farsi found time to create a city that was as beautiful as it was functional; with a carefully preserved historic center, gracious boulevards, and charming parks. A collector of Islamic and Western art, Dr. Farsi's vision as a city planner was to integrate important contemporary art into public spaces, thus enriching the lives of the inhabitants and reflecting the on-going cultural significance of the city, and his mayoralty is today remembered for its artistic flowering and for being at the forefront of design. Dr. Farsi made use of local artists and materials as well as commissioning works from many great Western masters, including Henry Moore, Victor Vasarely, Alexander Calder, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Joan Miró, Cesar Baldaccini, Sylvestre Monnier, Jean Arp, and Jacques Lipchitz, among many other stellar names in the international art world. He was the first mayor to introduce Western art and sculpture to an Arab city, as well as the first to display art that depicted the physical human form. At the time he stepped down, in 1986, Jeddah boasted over 400 pieces of public art. When he retired in 1986, Dr. Farsi returned to one of his primary passions - education. Within just one year he successfully qualified for his doctorate, attaining a Ph.D. from the University of Alexandria. (Source: Pressat).

Fine Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). [iii], 182 p., richly illustrated. First and only edition of one of the earliest and extremely rare Ottoman Turkish book on electricity published after the proclamation of the Republic in Turkey. It's a complete guide to electricity including how to install power plants, generators, and their working principles, etc. One of the most important breakthroughs of the regime in the Republican period was the delivery of electricity to many cities and villages of Turkey after the proclamation of the Republic. The electricity question and energy policies were also reflected in the propaganda material of the Republican regime. After the Alphabet Revolution in 1928, after the very few electrical books written in Ottoman Turkish, many books, posters, brochures, and periodicals were published, especially in the 1930s... Hasan Enver Pasha was an Ottoman general. He was the son of Mustafa Celalettin Pasha a Polish convert to Islam and the daughter of Omer Pasha. Besides he was an avid defender of the belonging of the Turkish race to the European white races. He married Leyla Hanim, a daughter of Mehmed Ali Pasha (marshal). They had five children: Celile who became the mother of Nâzim Hikmet, Münevver who became the mother of Oktay Rifat, Mustafa Celalettin, Mehmet Ali, and Sara. In 1901, he led an expedition to deliver Islamic and pan-Islamic messages to the Muslims of China. Özege 15207.; TBTK 12692.; OCLC 850834945 (Only one copy worldwide).

Very Good Persian Original wrappers. Folio. (33 x 25 cm) and some different sizes. In Persian with bilingual titles in English and Persian. A lot including 124 issues, published between July 30, 1991, to 1999. A lot including 124 issues of this rare Iranian satyric magazine "Gol Agha", which was the first such publication in post-revolutionary Iran, maintaining its dominance for more than two decades after its debut, adding monthly and annual editions as well as producing new generation of satirists and cartoonists. Kioumars Saberi Foumani, (1941-2004), also known by his pen name Gol-Agha, was an Iranian satirist, writer, and teacher. Saberi was born during the Second World War in Souma'eh Sara a city in Gilan Province. His father, originally from Rasht, worked for the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance. He was transferred to Souma'eh Sara in 1938 and then to Fuman in 1942 where he died a few months later. His mother, who was the daughter of a respected cleric and one of the few educated women in the city, taught the Quran after the death of her husband. His brother, who was 14 years older, had to leave school at the age of 15 to work to help with the family expenses. Education for Saberi was hard because of his family's poverty and he had to start working in a tailor shop after finishing his elementary education. He also worked in his brother's bicycle repair shop during elementary school and high school. He started high school education at his mother's insistence. At the age of 16, he gained entry to Sari's Agriculture teacher's college which only accepted one student from Fuman each year. He continued his college education and graduated in 1959. He worked as a teacher from 1959-1961. At the age of 20, he took his high school exams and received his high school diploma. He continued his education at the University of Tehran while working as a teacher. He achieved his bachelor of science degree in political science in 1965. He spent most of the 1970s reading and teaching and in 1978 he obtained his master's degree in comparative literature from the University of Tehran. Saberi got married in 1966 and he had a daughter and a son. His son died in a car accident in 1985 but this sad incident did not stop him from reaching his goal, which was to make people smile. Kioumars Saberi Foumani died on April 30, 2004. During his first year at university, Saberi was arrested for participating in student demonstrations and started to write political satire in Towfigh magazine. Towfigh magazine was Iran's most respected pro-democracy political satire magazine, with the highest circulation in Iranian history. Its editor-in-chief was Hossein Towfigh who, along with his brothers Hassan and Abbas, turned Towfigh magazine into the most influential journal in Iranian history. Saberi became one of the many staff writers of Towfigh magazine. After the Iranian Revolution, he became the cultural advisor for Mohammad Ali Rajai. One of his other political posts was as the counselor to the minister of Housing and Urban Development of Iran. Following the Revolution, Saberi worked in different political positions before deciding to leave politics. He was in charge of Roshde-Adabe-Farsi magazine and sometimes he wrote for the Ettelaat newspaper. He started a column called "Do-Kalame-Harfe-Hesab" in Ettelaat in 1984 which was a starting point for political satires after the revolution. He continued writing for this column for six years until he started his own magazine called Gol-Agha in 1990. His courageous and powerful writings were appreciated by many famous authors such as Mohammad Ali Jamalzadeh.
