A portfolio of 51 haunting original etchings by Hanif Lehmann printed on extremely fine, thick wove paper, with 12 pages of relevant text excerpts from Dante's Inferno in German, as translated by Stefan George. ONE OF ONLY FIVE COPIES OF THE LARGE FOLIO EDITION WITH ALL OF THE ETCHINGS SIGNED, JUSTIFIED, AND TITLED BY THE ARTIST (in the regular edition, limited to 25 copies, there are only 48 etchings, and they are not signed). Each of these five copies was printed for a specific collector, named in the printed justification: this copy was printed for a well-known Italian opera singer. The justification is also signed by the artist. The brooding portrait of Dante (the frontispiece) in this copy is the very first impression taken from the plate, and is justified as such ("Erstabzug"). Large folio (47.2 cm).

A beautiful edition of Dante's Inferno (Italian text). Illustrated with 55 extremely disturbing original etchings, almost all full-page and hors-texte, by Hungarian-Jewish artist Laszlo Barta. Edition limited to 275 numbered copies of which this is one of 200 printed on fine Rives wove paper. Folio. Loose as issued in original wraps, with board chemise and slipcase.

290 pages. Reproductions of black and white photos in text. "Whether by accident or design, governments and agencies have remained silent, so all the research has been up to us. However this true fifty year old shame must be revealed in the hope that mankind remembers and never allows it to be repeated." - from Foreword. "Our story tells what happened to 168 Allied Airmen who jumped into Northern Europe after their planes had met with an explosive and fiery end... Because our eventual betrayal to the Gestapo was accomplished so smoothly, a number of these encounters will be explained so that you can better understand our dilemma.
