1942222243Japan. 1942. Black and white photograph with an explanatory slip in Japanese. The photograph measures 20 x 14.5cm; the slip measures 16 x 11cm. Reverse of photograph lightly browned and slightly foxed in a few spots not affecting image slip also evenly browned on reverse and little creased overall a good pair. A view of a Japanese foot soldier armed with his Arisaka Type 99 and bayonet surveying the Nujiang/Salween Valley and River following what is claimed to have been a successful crossing. On the opposite bank a convoy of trucks can be seen winding their way along a dirt track leading away from the shoreline through a patchwork of terraced farms. The remnants of the Huitong Bridge having been destroyed by defending Chinese troops can be seen at the bottom of the valley. <br> <br>Although the explanatory slip included with the image declares the operation to have been a roaring success with a valiant crossing made and the road to Kunming and Chongqing opened by all credible reports the Salween Campaign proved to be a tactical stalemate for Imperial Japanese forces. Although the IJA had indeed been able to reach the Salween River a successful crossing was never made as National Revolutionary Army troops had taken up an entrenched defensive position prior to their arrival. Ultimately the IJA were dislodged by the NRA in 1944-45 with the assistance of Joseph Stilwell. . unknown

1942222242Japan. 1942. Black and white photograph with an explanatory slip in Japanese. The photograph measures 20 x 14.5cm; the slip measures 16 x 11cm. Edges of photograph little browned slightly affecting image reverse of slip evenly browned with one edge little abraded not affecting text overall a good pair. A view of a sea of abandoned materiel in Rangoon supposedly jettisoned by retreating Commonwealth forces under a scorched earth policy. The shells of trucks appear to make up the bulk of the scrap - wheel hubs and grilles litter the foreground while stacks of car bodies can be seen in the background. <br> <br>The capture of Rangoon by the Imperial Japanese Army proved to be a significant blow to Allied logistics efforts in China and Southeast Asia. Rangoon had served as the starting point for the critical Burma Road and its capture by Japan was seen at the time as a major strategic victory. Japanese planners had hoped that the fall of Rangoon would prove to be the death knell for Chiang Kai-shek's government in Chongqing still doggedly holding out after nearly six years of continuous warfare. These hopes failed to come to fruition however as supplies were instead airlifted and re-routed along the Ledo/Stilwell Road in Assam and Kachin. <br> <br>With Rangoon under its control Japanese forces were able to sweep across the vast majority of the rest of the colony with the notable exception of its northernmost reaches. By 1943 Japan had established sufficient control to establish the State of Burma as a puppet regime led by Ba Maw. With Burma as a foothold the Indian National Army under Subhas Chandra Bose were also able to establish their own pro-Japanese statelet later that same year. . unknown

1935201293<p>San Francisco 1935. Very Good.</p><p>The idea for the Golden Gate International Exposition also known as the 1939 World's Fair was first formulated in 1933. In 1934 two architects William Peyton Day and George W. Kelham who was instrumental in the PPIE were tasked with evaluating various sites in and around the city.</p><p>By the end of 1934 that choice had narrowed to revamping the Presidio or to building an artificial island on the shoals of the Yerba Buena islands. A push by promoters of a mainland site was voted down in April 1935. As important a decision as this was there seems to be very little documentation on the campaign for a mainland site.</p><p>The poster lists 22 practical reasons for a mainland fair appealing primarily to reasons that would have a direct effect on residents of San Francisco. It failed however to inspire voters in the way that building "Treasure Island" did. By this time also Treasure Island had plans in the making for future use as an airport and other practical reasons of its own to exist.</p><p>Printed by the Sunset Courier. In 1925 the Courier was linked to an anti-union movement. In 1932 the Courier ran with the anti-Japanese headline "Orientals Are Invading Sunset District." In 1933 the Courier questioned the distribution of public funds to Jewish organizations. The relation of the Courier to the campaign is not known by me and they may have only offered the lowest printing rates.</p><p>Printed on newsprint single-sided with red ruled border and red "BECAUSE" repeated. Very Good condition 23" x 17" creased from folds minor edgewear.</p>

1915138323Istanbul: Erkan- Harbiye-i Umumiye Matbaas 1915. Grasping Gallipoli A rare example untraced institutionally of Ottoman military cartography conveying information on physical geography anchorages and the layout of key towns for the purposes of defensive planning. Compared to most Ottoman maps this offered the granular perspective necessary to mount an effective and ultimately successful operational defence of the peninsula and it was in all likelihood the most detailed map available to von Sanders and senior Ottoman commanders at the start of the campaign. Areas of the peninsula including the north-eastern and south-western fringes are shown with much gentler elevations and gradients than was actually the case. It is unclear whether copies fell into enemy hands but general misconceptions over the topography of the peninsula proved the undoing of much of the Allied advance during 1915. While most of the northern tip of the Ottoman empire is unfilled the map identifies features relevant to the ferrying of troops across the Dardanelles including coastal settlements rivers and landing sites. Colour lithograph 560 x 790 mm in 16 sections and mounted upon linen as issued folding away to 42 x 200 mm. Contemporary colour crayon annotations on verso. Light foxing along folds a few sections slightly lifting at corners occasional staining: a very good example. unknown

Original printed gray wrappers 8vo xiv 1 16-53 pages. 23 cm. <br> English translation of the Jewish Response to the First Anti-Shechitah Campaign in America responding with an explanation of the necessity for Jews to maintain the laws of ritual slaughter.<br> Aaron Zebi Friedman 1822-76 served as shochet or ritual slaughterer in his native Poland before immigrating to New York in 1848 where he found employment in one of the city’s largest kosher slaughterhouses.<br> In 1866 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals launched the first anti-Shehitah campaign in America. The president of the Society Henry Bergh dispatched a letter to the proprietor of a kosher abattoir in New York accusing him of engaging in "barbarous revolting and wicked" practices–the letter is reproduced in full in this work. Bergh further called on him to desist from violating the laws of New York and of God by "mangling and torturing his creatures."<br> Interestingly among the members listed in the letterhead of Bergh’s letter were August Belmont the Rothschilds' representative in America and Charles P. Daly a chief justice of New York.<br> In 1875 Aaron Zebi Friedman renowned for his piety composed a sharp rejoinder entitled Tub Taam to refute Bergh's accusations. He not only succeeded in silencing Bergh but even in convincing him: In 1885 Bergh defended shechitah against charges of cruelty leveled by the Philadelphia branch of his Society. Goldman 1092; JE Vol. V p. 518.<br> Among those who supported the Jewish position on Shechitah in the struggle against the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was President Ulysses S. Grant. According to Joakim Isaacs Grant "was moved by this English translation.to eat only ritually slaughtered meat in the latter part of his life" See J. Isaacs "Candidate Grant and the Jews" American Jewish Archives 17. 1 1965 p. 15 n. 31; I. H. Sharfman The First Rabbi 1988 pp. 591-92. <br> Apropos of the current culture wars animal rights organizations and activists within and outside of the Jewish world continue to criticize kosher slaughtering practices on the grounds of animal cruelty.

Publisher's green printed wrappers cover with red lettering and black art nouveau designs. Top corner a bit bent else a very good copy.D. M. Campana was an Italian-born American who studied in Venice and later taught art in Chicago. He also founded a company that sells art supplies still extant. His specialty was the painting of China porcelain. "There is scarcely a china painter who does not know the name of D.M. Campana for it has been one of the most prominent in the field for well over half a century. Mr. Campana founded the Campana Art Company at the turn of the century with china painting materials as its specialty. Has developed his own line of excellent china colors which he used in painting all his fine works and which are sold with his name exclusively. He won many medals and prizes for his most unusual approach in this medium. His method of painting was to apply the basic colors to be used without detail and fire the piece at about 1400 F then alternately to add more color and fire until he had the results he wanted. Reds were left until the last so there would be no chance of diminishing the strength of the color through repeated firings. Campana died at the age of eighty-five in December 1956. His memory lives on in his many fine works and in the over fifty books which he wrote on art instruction in every field." Campana Art Company [The Author] unknown
