194243230No Place New York: Polish Information Center 1942. ; 1st edition. Large double-sided single sheets broadsides 17x 12 inches. <br> Weekly English-language updates from the early years of the exiled Polish government information and propaganda agency from prior to its massive expansion in 1943. Reports cover German atrocities and Polish resistance to the Nazis including news about Polish contributions to the international Allied effort. There are occasional mentions of conditions in the Warsaw ghetto.<br> <br> Checking institutional holdings we could locate no copy later than Nr. 83 from 1943; we presume that to be the final issue in the series. <br> <br> This format would have been convenient for posting on walls etc. <br> <br> “The Polish Information Center was founded in 1940 and remained active until 1945…. its first director Stefan Gotfryd Ropp…. remained in his post for the first three years of the center's existence and was a major force in the creation of a Polish lobby influential in U.S. military financial and political circles particularly to counter American isolationism before the United States entered the war.<br> <br> Originally called Centrum Informacji Prasowej the center at first was funded with the proceeds from the sale of objects that couldn't be returned to war torn Poland. In its first year it operated unofficially but with the declaration of war by the United States it had to fulfill certain requirements from the Justice Department. Later the center became a branch of the Ministry of Information and Documentation. The center's main offices were located on Fifth Avenue in the heart of New York City but it eventually had representatives in Chicago Detroit Los Angeles and Pittsburgh.<br> br>The center had a well-educated and skilled staff involved in the collecting and dissemination of information on Poland and on matters relevant to Polish interests in the United States. Ropp himself wrote regular reports for the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs which are excellent examples of his visionary ideas….<br> <br> In 1943 the center's structure underwent significant changes and its budget was increased. The broadening of operations found immediate reflection in the way materials were collected: for instance specialized firms were hired to deliver clippings from hundreds of American newspapers….<br> <br> Also in 1943 Ropp was moved to London to head the Biuro Prac Kongresowych responsible for planning the peace conference and a new post-war Poland. Still the office grew steadily gradually attracting some of the best minds working for the Polish cause on American soil: from 35 experts in 1943 it employed 51 in 1944.<br> <br> In 1944 at the peak of its activities the center had at its disposal a budget of a million dollars….<br> <br> The year 1945 brought big budget cuts and half of the employees were laid off. The center shared the fate of many other Polish diplomatic posts as the loss of diplomatic recognition of the London government by the Western Allies resulted in the termination of its operations. By decree of Poland's President Wladyslaw Raczkiewicz on July 3 1945 the center was officially shut down†Hoover Institution. <br> <br> OCLC: 37937357. All holdings which could be checked are incomplete; some holdings are for as few as 3 or 4 issues total.<br> <br> All issues have a vertical fold crease; many have light foxing stains or crinkling. Paper remains bright and strong and was clearly stored in dry clean conditions for the past 80 years. Very Good Condition overall. A fascinating nearly consecutive weekly look at official Polish reporting on Nazi atrocities and war crimes in real time over a one-year key period of the Holocaust. B Holo2-163-9-LMM%-’cce.

1854373729The Times London 1854. Newspaper. Good Condition. The two Times Special Reports dated 13 November 1854 The Attack on Balaclava and 23 November 1854 The Battle of Inkermann provide detailed contemporary accounts of two of the most significant engagements of the Crimean War. The Balaclava issue contains the earliest extended reports of the battle of 25 October including the now-legendary Charge of the Light Brigade official despatches from Lord Raglan and narrative descriptions that shaped public perception of both the disaster and the heroism involved. The Inkermann issue presents Lord Raglan's despatches and extensive coverage of the desperate fighting on 5 November 1854 when outnumbered British and French forces repelled a much larger Russian army. Together these issues stand as immediate first-hand printed records of events that soon became iconic in British military history. These copies are original 1854 issues of The Times not later reprints or bound compilations. Issued as separate folio supplements printed on rag-based paper and headed with the distinctive Times masthead and royal crest they were sold individually to provide the public with full stand-alone accounts of major battles. Survival of such ephemeral publications is uncommon making these examples both scarce and historically significant. Their value lies not only in their rarity but also in their role as primary sources that convey how the war was reported understood and remembered at the time. Two issues each four pages in length. Some minor marginal tears probably inevitable with newspapers of this sort. Preserved in a modern card cover prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 29 x 44.5 cms. Category: Antiquarian & Rare; Newspapers; Special Interest. This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK. If extra postage is required we will contact you before processing your order and you will be given the details and option to decline the extra cost. The Times unknown
