55202Irkutsk or Vladivostok: Litografie Inf.-osv. odboru Äsl. vojska na Rusi 1919 or 1920. Postcard 14.3 × 9.5 cm with chromolithograph illustration signed "P" and text "Dopisnice/Pochtovaia kartochka" in Czech and Russian. Unused; very light crease to corner; else very good. Lithographed postcard by VojtÄ›ch Preissig 1873-1944 issued by Czechoslovak Legion soldiers who fought alongside the White Army in Siberia after WWI and controlled large stretches of the Transsiberian Railroad from 1918-19. By 1919 the Legion soldiers retreated further eastward alongside Kolchak's army while transporting the bulk of the Imperial gold reserves for the Whites. In 1920 the Czechoslovak Legion was gradually evacuated by ship from Vladivostok and over 60.000 soldiers returned to the Czechoslovak Republic. Despite the precarious conditions the Legion issued a daily newspaper using a printing press on board the train as well as numerous brochures books as well as handwritten lithographed bulletins printed in small print runs. During longer stops such as during their time in Vladivostok a printer's shop was set up outside the train and the operations significantly expanded.<br /> <br /> Preissig was an important Secessionist painter graphic artist and book designer who worked with Alfons Mucha among others. In the 1910s he taught art in the United States at the Art Students' League and Columbia University as well in Boston. While still abroad Preissig met future Czechoslovak president T. G. Masaryk and became involved in the independence movement which he supported graphically by designing posters and postcards. He returned to Prague in 1931 establishing himself not only as a leading typographer and book designer but also as a pioneering abstract artist. Following the German Occupation of Czechoslovakia Preissig became involved in the resistance editing and designing an illegal journal. He was arrested and died at Dachau in 1944. unknown

1952183941London: Ordnance Survey 1952. Later editions marked "restricted" revised from those produced by the War Office in 1919 and 1916 with isogonals correct to 1953. These maps were issued in the early years of the Cold War only a decade after the region was ravaged in the Battle of Stalingrad. Stepnoy now Elista was renamed only five years after this map's publication. In the early years of the Cold War the CIA attempted to gather information on the Soviet Union through aerial spying missions flown with the co-operation of the British government. "The RAF formed a top-secret reconnaissance outfit in the spring of 1951. Churchill approved the RAF overflight program knowing that if one of the planes came down on Russian territory Labour MPs in an embarrassed and angered House of Commons undoubtedly would force a vote of confidence to bring down his government. But he balanced that possibility against the desperate need for radar pictures of Soviet military targets that would held SAC and RAF bombers in the event of war" Burrows pp. 131-33. In 1952 John Crampton flew a high-speed high-altitude test run over the Berlin corridor which Bomber Command followed with three simultaneous sorties reaching as far as Moscow itself. After a ten-hour mission that triggered the Soviet air defences "All three planes made it back to Sculthorpe with their radar imagery and without a scratch" Burrows p. 134 angering the Kremlin and prompting a review of the nation's air warning systems. The map of Stalingrad is the fourth edition and the map of Stepnoy is the fifth. Single sheet of cloth 605 x 554 mm colour maps with key on each side pale border on Stalingrad side lettered in red blue and black. Map bright sometime folded and creased edges a little frayed: a very good copy. William Burrows By Any Means Necessary: America's secret air war in the Cold War 2001. hardcover
