Description
München: Herausgegeben von der Reichspropagandaleitung der NSDAP im Zentralverlag der NSDAP. Franz Eher Nachf. Druck: M. Müller und Sohn KG, 1942. Hardcover. Parole der Woche" (Slogan of the Week) was a National Socialist poster that was published weekly between 1936 and 1943. The Reichspropagandaleitung issued a "Wahlkampfwandzeitung" (election wall-newspaper) for the "Reichstagswahl" in 1936 with such a positive effect that it was developed as a propaganda tool. The large (approx. 2.5 x 4 ft) numbered broadsides were printed in offset color and displayed in civic buildings, bulletin boards and public places throughout Germany. The first issue was published on 29 March, 1936, the last appeared on February 25, 1943 (approximately 400 posters were issued). Originally printed with text only, the graphic design changed over time incorporating illustrations and photographs. Illustrators and designers remained anonymous. The pro-German content was usually heavily anti-Semitic, anti-bolshevist, anti-English & American. A smaller stamp version was also issued which was usually pasted on envelopes & postcards. [We have had examples]. Seven titles, representative of the 116 posters: "Wer dieses Zeichen trägt, ist ein Feind unseres Volkes" "Der Führer ist der Sieg" "Hetze und Fälschung - die Waffe der jüdischen Journaille" "Churchill - Der Mann, der den Bombenkrieg gegen die Zivilbevölkerung erfunden hat" "Sie haben den Krieg gewollt" "Stafford Cripps - Ein Hetzer plaudert aus der Schule" "Churchills Lügenstrategie" Despite its importance, not much material has been published about this highly effective Nazi propaganda tool. Franz-Josef Heyen wrote perhaps the most important work in regards to the posters. His book was published in 1983 by Deutscher Taschebuch Verlag under the title "Parole der Woche: Eine Wandzeitung im Dritten Reich 1936 - 1943." The 142 page book accompanies this collection. For his book Heyen selected 100 out of the 400 published. 31 posters from our collection are pictured in his work (see list below). Also includes a CD-ROM with pictures of all 116 posters in our possession. The following is a list of the numbered copies of each year with date. All in large poster format (Ausgabe A), except six which are in the smaller format (Ausgabe B). 1937: 22 vom 27. Mai 1938: 14 vom 7. April (Heyen, p. 55) 24 vom 16. Juni 26 vom 30.

Dezember 52 vom 23. Dezember Provenance: The posters come from two contemporary sources; One private collection was stored in the basement of a German pharmacy where they most likely had been displayed during the Third Reich. The other collection came from a military source. Verso of a poster with marginal note in pencil: "An Schließerposten mit der Bitte um Ausschmückung des Stabsgebäudes. I C." Majority of posters neatly folded. Edges and folds of some posters partly creased, few closed tears (some repaired with tape), some corners chipped not affecting text or image, few with pin needle and punch holes (minimal loss of text and image due to punch holes), sporadic foxing. Overall in very good condition with bright and crisp illustrations and text. Unique collection of original Nazi Propaganda posters seen by the German population during the Third Reich giving an invaluable historical insight into the ideology of the National Socialists.

Description
[Boston or Salem, MA?]: np, 1805. Printed broadside, 11 x 4 3/4 inches, the head printed in larger bold type. An anonymous American political song written from an intensely Massachusetts Federalist point of view, the lyrics include Federalist buzzwords of the time, used to denounce Republicans, often termed anarchic, French-sympathizing, conspiratorial, and deistic, a take on Robert Treat Paine's "Adams and Liberty," published in 1798. This song was included in the 1812 anthology "Patriotic Vocalist" (pp. 11-13; Salem, MA: Cushing & Appleton, 1812), with the lyrics attributed to "Mr Bigelow (1804)." Not in Shipton & Mooney or American Imprints, or any other reference consulted. Apparently not recorded on OCLC (which does locate a London, 1789, broadside of the same title, printing a song in praise of the French Revolution). Fine crisp example of a rare early 19th-century American political broadside song. Folded. (#6282).

Milano: Riccardo Ricciardi, 1961. First edition. Small closed tear at top of front wrapper, few marks. 8vo, 164pp; wrappers. An excellent presentation copy, inscribed and signed by Gadda on the half title page to the German writer and publisher Hans Magnus Enzensberger, dated 1963, when Enzensberger was instrumental in bringing out a German translation of Gadda's La Cognizione del Dolore, providing an afterword. Gadda inscriptions are quite uncommon and this one has a meaningful association.

Description
Ca. 115 x 135 mm. Portion of recto with signature faded; several small pieces of tape to verso. Together with a half-length role portrait photograph of the baritone as Count de Luna from Verdi's Il Trovatore ca. 254 x 206 mm. With handstamps reading "Leonard Warren, Baritone Metropolitan Opera Company," and "Hurok Attractions... New York... Martin Feinstein Publicity Director... " to verso. Slightly worn and soiled. Warren "made his stage début with the Metropolitan in 1939, as Paolo in Simon Boccanegra; his last complete performance in the house, 21 years later, was as Simon himself. During his career, which was dominated by New York engagements, Warren won special acclaim in the great Verdi roles and as Barnaba (La Gioconda), Scarpia and Tonio. His voice was huge, smooth, superbly controlled and marked by special freedom in the top range (which extended to the tenor's high C). Foreign engagements took him to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires (1942), Mexico City (1948), La Scala (1953) and the USSR (1958). His recorded legacy is an important one, and includes distinguished performances in Il trovatore, Rigoletto, La traviata, Un ballo in maschera and Macbeth. He was also an accomplished recitalist, as a live recording from Moscow confirms. He died on the stage of the Metropolitan while singing Don Carlo in La forza del destino." Martin Bernheimer and Dennis K. McIntire in Grove Music Online.
