Book: Black cloth title in green illustration of measuring utensils on pastedowns. Pictorial dust jacket. Binding a bit rubbed spine faded with small loss at head Very good minus. Six pages in ink on three leaves. 1 vols. 8vo. Letter from Baghdad 1946. Fascinating letter from editor May H. Beattie 1908-1997 editor of Recipes from Baghad published for the benefit of the Red Cross and later a widely published author on Persian and oriental carpets. Beattie describes its contemporary reception in cosmopolitan Baghdadi circles noting specific criticisms of contents and illustrations how the barbs affected some of the editors with report of discussions with an editor in the U.K and mention of a possible Arabic edition for local "middle class people". Beattie writes "At the moment rather between ourselves I have a most consuming passion to make a record of Baghdad women - I am finding out all sorts of things about their cosmetics tatooing hair dying & customs in general. I should think it will be almost impossible to extract any information from Baghdad "Society" but I am finding other sources in plenty and a card index is filling rapidly."<br/>Beattie who trained as a microbiologist had come to Baghdad with her husband in 1937; in 1946 they returned to England and so the book on Baghdad women was never completed. Beattie's career as a scholar of carpets began in the 1950s when she saw the shortcomings of earlier research. "Dr. Beattie transferred her scholarly training in one discipline to another" Mackie and assembled facts and "recorded manufacturing methods equipment patterns and functions of carpets."<br/><br/>With: Recipes from Baghdad with an Introduction by Her Majesty the Queen Mother of Iraq.

194344248Baghdad: S.i. ca.1943-44. Original illustrated poster offset printed in five colors on beige stock measuring 56.75cm x 72.75cm 22.25" x 28.5". Signed "FAIK H" in plate at lower left corner. Two old folds smoothed out trivial wear to intersection of folds at center with a handful of short marginal tears and attendant creases; unbacked; Very Good. Superb example of this agricultural-themed wartime propaganda poster designed by Iraqi painter Faeq Hassan 1914-1992 widely heralded as "the father of Iraqi modern art." Born poor in Baghdad Hassan showed an early aptitude for art. When he was 12 he visited his uncle a gardener in the royal palace for King Faisal I; when the King saw his drawing of a horse drinking from a river he recognized his talent instantly and offered him a scholarship. Faisal died in 1933 while Hassan was still in high school though his successor King Ghazi carried out his father's will and send him to the École des Beaux-Arts Paris in 1935. After returning from Paris Hassan founded Al-Ruwad The Pioneers Group a group of Iraqi artists who eschewed the traditional studio atmosphere; while engaging with nature and choosing the chronicle the daily realities of Iraqi life through their art the group played a critical role in bridging the gap between heritage and modernity. <br/><br/>Little scholarship exists regarding Hassan's activities or artistic output during World War II though the present example suggests he put his talents to some use creating home front propaganda after the Anglo-Iraqi War. The poster depicts a male laborer in traditional garb digging in a field with a bag of seeds tied at his waist beneath the slogan "If You Plant You Will Win" flanked by twin V's. Despite the traditional Iraqi setting the message is similar in tone to the American propaganda campaign encouraging the populace to plant victory gardens to help the war effort. A notably early work by Hassan and a rare survival with no examples found in the auction record and none found in the holdings of any OCLC member institution. cf."Profile: Faik Hassan."
