Each one has rosy cheeks and is looking towards the SS officer 7 who is dressed in his full black uniform. He is seen posing with a certain martial authority: his bare right hand holding his belt buckle while his white gloved left hand holds the other glove. On his left arm features a Swastika armband. The officer's facial expression is severe and this harshness is highlighted by the fact that his right eye is closed his left eye is hidden behind a monocle his complexion is grey and has thin sullen lips. The SS officer is depicted in full 9 x 3 1/4" and is featured at center. Each of the seven characters is hand-captioned in pencil. The artist's signature in pencil features at lower left margin. Moderate and sporadic creasing closed tears and age-toning to upper margin and right fore-edge. Folding mark at center. Captions in German. Leaf in overall good artwork in very good condition. 1 The Deutsches Jungvolk German Youth was a youth organization in Nazi Germany for boys aged 10 to 14 and was a section of the Hitler Youth movement.

It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Their primary purposes were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies disrupting the meetings of opposing parties fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties especially the Communist Party of Germany KPD and intimidating Slavic and Romani citizens unionists and Jews – for instance during the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses. 5 The Nationalsozialistische Frauenschaft abbreviated NS-Frauenschaft National Socialist Women's League was the women's wing of the Nazi Party.

PIERALISI, SanteMareMagnum

Osservazioni sul Musaico di Palestrina. [Observations on the Palestrina Mosaic]

Large Folio, measuring 56cm x 39cm (15.5 inches x 22 inches). Original printed wrappers. Text is in Italian. [6], 72, [2] pages, plus 7 engraved plates, 5 of which are double-page. Wrappers chipped at extremities, occasional foxing, otherwise in very good condition. Scarce valuable resource on Ptolemaic Egypt. A scarce account, rarely seen in original wrappers, Pieralisi's treatise is a noteworthy study of the late Hellenistic Nile Mosaic of Palestrina, which depicts Ptolemaic Egypt and dates to circa 100 B.C. The author, Don Sante Pieralisi, was a librarian of the Barberini Library in Rome with access to many early scholars' works. The mosaic's history and construction are described, followed by a presentation of some early and compelling theories of interpretation and dating, by such scholars as Barthelemy, Antonio Nibby, Carlo Fea, and Cassiano dal Pozzo (secretary to Francesco Barberini who was largely responsible for its restoration). Much history of ancient Egyptian life can be drawn from the mosaic scenes, including the Nile's yearly flooding, Nubian hunters, mythical or extinct creatures, Egyptian-Roman trade, contrasts between peasant dwellings and palatial life, the rise of magnificent walled cities guarded by Egyptian soldiers, etc. Remarkable engravings reproduce details of the historic masterpiece. The celebrated Nile mosaic dates to circa 100 B.C. during rule of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, the last dynasty of Ancient Egypt (305 BC to 30 BC) and forms an interesting connections between ancient Egyptian and Roman civilizations, and the its essence of its design has, for several centuries, been the center of much speculation. Shortly after publication, the observations by Don Sante Pieralisi accompanied the mosaic on display in the Palazzo Barberini, where it had been placed by Prince Barberini after restoration mid-seventeenth century. Equally interesting is a chapter dedicated to the Rosetta Stone, the ancient stele decree issued at Memphis, also during the Ptolemaic dynasty. The author relates details of the French expedition to Egypt which uncovered it in 1799, and the controversial repossession and transfer to England following the Capitulation of Alexandria. He further presents important details of the temples of Apis, Serapis, and Venus at Memphis, other hidden tombs of Memphis, and pertinent Egyptian rulers.

Ni GengyeMareMagnum

Poster Calendar from a Chinese Artist Promoting the Qidong Tobacco Company.

Poster calendar titled "Girl at Airfield" and designed by artist Ni Gengye, for the Qidong Tobacco Company, to promote happiness in connection with their smoking products. From the collection of Agnes Tabah. Calendar measures approximately 103 x 38 cm. Ni Gengye is a Chinese artist whose work is highly sought after, and which fetches a premium when available on any market. He produced a notable number of works, many of them being calendar posters. He created advertisements for other tobacco companies including Hatamen Tobacco and the British American Tobacco (BAT). His date and place of birth are unknown, though some estimate his life span to be from approximately 1900-1965. Calendar posters were a particular genre of commercial imagery of the period. Typically, they were produced by tobacco, textile, soap, or perfume companies and were distributed across a wide geographical range. Almost invariably, they depict female figures in various guises, which were a key part of their appeal. Formally, the female figures are generally portrayed in an illusionistic manner, though chiaroscuro or shading is generally subdued. There is usually a frame, outside of which an image of the product and other necessary information are displayed. This 'calendar-poster' style had strong connotations of commercialism and was consciously avoided by designers of literary book and magazine covers. This stylistic differentiation probably served to mark literary works as a different type of commercial product. The format of the present poster-calendar was designed by Zhang Guangyu around 1931. It was mostly frequently tall and narrow, into which he introduced a large plaque for the calendar in the lower third of the space. This plaque itself was framed with ornamental designs and contrasted against a richly decorated background of various motifs. The tobacco vendor's cigarette packages were arranged on each side of, and sometimes below, the central plaque. This formula was frequently utilized, and spin-offs continued at BAT throughout the 1930s. It is thought that Ni Gengye's "Woman at an Airfield" is among the last uses of Zhang's formatting design. It is dated 1938 according to the reign characters Kangde, indicating that the poster was probably destined for advertisement in Manchuria, where the Japanese had set up the puppet state of Manchuko. The woman waves as if greeting an unseen person, having alighted from the airplane in the background, as she moves across the field toward the terminal. An alternate interpretation is also possible: the young woman might be departing, making her way across the tarmac, but turns to wave farewell to a friend, just prior to boarding the aircraft. If this is the case, Ni's picture is an ironic, unwitting, and poignant farewell to the era of advertisement calendars, for by 1938, the Japanese, entrenched in Shanghai, succeeded in pretty much cutting it off from the trade world and from the rest of China.

A pleasing repository of 1920s marketing of products from around the globe offered by the respected long-standing and leading packaging firm of Michael Birk - from a brief period when they also offered medical and surgical instruments, equipment and even laboratory furniture. It was in 1920 that Michael Birk expanded his export trade overseas and established offices in Mexico and South America, at the same time offering global distribution of products and instruments for the medical technology industry, from renowned manufacturers located in Tuttlingen, Germany. He also introduced significantly advanced offerings to his clients, such as grease-proof cardboard ointment containers, embossed colour labels according to individual customer requirements. [After the Second World War, global economics caused the firm to return its focus entirely to the development and production of packaging.] The present volume is a fine survivor of this pinnacle period in the firm's history, and an exceedingly scarce find in its pristine condition.
