Description
Zara (Zadar), Croatia: Comitato Iniziatore, 1945. Broadside. 45.5cm x 38cm. A single sheet of paper, printed recto only. Clean and bright with a single old very faint horizontal fold mark, and an old number in ink to the upper right corner, a fine example. A call to the anti-fascists of Zara, now Zadar on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. At the beginning of WW2 Zara was occupied by the Italian fascist forces, then subsequently by the Nazi 114th Jäger Division who were tasked with eradicating Partisan forces on the Dalmatian Coast, and who commited a number of atrocities and war crimes in the execution of this task, along with the Fallschirm-Panzer Div. Herman Göring they were amongst the most despised German units in the region. Zara was subsequently carpet bombed by the Allies, causing massive civilian casualties and enormous cultural loss and destruction to a city which is credited as the oldest continuously occupied community in the region, with regional traces going back to 4,000 years BCE. Subsequent to the fall of the Reich and the end of WW2, Zara was formally renamed Zadar and became a part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. "All Anti-Fascists of Zara (persecuted by the former fascist regime) are invited to participate in the meeting that will be held on 1.xii.1945 in the hall of the Caffe Centrale for business that concerns them. Death To Fascism - Freedom to The People! The Committee" The Caffe Centrale still exists, and is still a well known cafe in the old quarter of Zadar, a piece of trivia made even more amazing by the statistic that the Allied bombings not only killed 20% of the civilian population, but also destroyed more than half of the historical buildings, leading to Zadar being dubbed "The Dresden of The Adriatic." Obviously distributed in a tiny run to a depleted and exhausted local populace, definitively ephemeral. No trace on OCLC.

Description
Fort Wayne, Indiana, 1862. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This four-page letter was sent by Emeline to her cousin in Mary at Bristol, New Hampshire. It is datelined “Fort Wayne Ind. Aug. 23”/62” and enclosed in a mailing envelope franked with a 3-cent Washington stamp (Scott #65) that was postmarked at Fort Wayne two days later. In this letter Emeline expressed her fear that the Union might not survive and her concern about the fate of captured soldiers that she knew. It reads in part: “The war is the all absorbing topic. What is to be the result of all our National troubles, God only knows. It seems that we just begin to realise. The excitement here is very great. I think the call will be for be for more men before the wicked rebellion will be crushed & I sometimes fear that we shall not be able to do it. Even after such a sacrifice of blood. I often hear that if the south succeeds, a secession of the west from the east is inevitable. How dreadful the thought of this nation becoming thus dismembered – God grant that light may speedily dawn upon us. . .. Have you read Mr. Owen’s letter to the Secy of War . . . on Emancipation? I am not sure but a ‘declaraton’ must come [and] it will come soon. The President must deeply feel the weight of responsibility resting on him – More much more nerve & wisdom he needs. We can only comfort ourselves with the thought that God will overrule all for good. . .. “Sometime since I saw in a paper that several U.S. Pay Masters had been taken prisoners by the Rebels and Haselton was one. . .. I felt quite anxious about it at the time. But not hearing any thing since conclude it as among the rumors. . ..” . Emeline’s thoughts about the war give one pause. Imagine what life would be like today if the United States had split into three parts. .
