Loose cardstock leaf.<br /> <br /> Original pre-WWII ink and watercolor artwork caricaturing seven major Nazi organizations.

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. <br /> <br /> The SS officer is depicted in full 9 x 3 1/4" and is featured at center.<br /> <br /> Each of the seven characters is hand-captioned in pencil. The artist's signature in pencil features at lower left margin.<br /> <br /> Moderate and sporadic creasing closed tears and age-toning to upper margin and right fore-edge. Folding mark at center. Captions in German.

Decades in the making and with contributions from numerous hands this is a rich and remarkably accomplished volume -- one wonders if it was perhaps created by a circle of artists. Landscapes and landmarks of England appear in the original artwork such as a finely detailed drawing of the house where Sir Isaac Newton was born and photographs St. Mary's Church; New College from the Gardens as well as the ephemera numerous engraved illustrations of castles neatly clipped from unknown sources. Far-flung locales are also represented: View on the Medina River pencil drawing Martaban at Sunrise beautiful watercolor of Burma an architectural drawing that suggests India. Prose and poetry contributions mostly original offer religious sentiments thoughts on love and friendship and a bit of humor in particular a piece entitled "Georgy on Shakespeare" argues that the Bard is greatly over-rated. Ephemera includes holiday greetings numerous illustrations extracted from unknown sources and the occasional die-cut. Landscapes birds flowers -- all the hallmarks of a typical album of the period -- though this one is particularly nice. <br/><br/> hardcover
