A Japanese anti-propaganda. "Sari tehlike: Dünyayi kizil tehlikeden koruyacagim!" [i.e. Yellow hazard: I will protect the world from the Red hazard]. This great cover was illustrated by Cemal Nadir [Güler], (1902-1947). He was a Turkish cartoonist. Güler is the surname he assumed after the Surname Law of 1934. Cemal Nadir was born in Bursa, Ottoman Empire on 13 July 1902. His father Sevket was a calligraphist (Turkish: Hattat) employed in courts. After finishing high school, he began working as a sign painter in Bursa. He also created cartoons, and his first cartoon appeared in Diken (literally: "The Thorn") periodical. Although he moved to Istanbul and tried to be a full-time cartoonist, he could not make it and he returned to Bursa. The Alphabet Reform of 1929 gave Cemal Nadir a second chance to show his talent. When Turkey adopted the Latin alphabet replacing the Ottoman Turkish alphabet in Arabic script, all signboards were necessarily changed, and he worked hard to meet the demand. In the same year, he moved once more to Istanbul to work for the daily Aksam. Later, he also drew for the newspaper Son Posta, as well as for the satirical magazines such as Akbaba. During this period, he published the satirical magazine Amcabey. During World war II, he drew anti-Nazism cartoons in the daily Cumhuriyet. In 1946, the Republican People's Party (CHP) invited him to run for a seat in the parliament. However, he refused the invitation, he said that with political affiliation he would not be able to create cartoons. He used his conflicting cartoon characters to criticize the social problems of that time in the country.

Türkiye Is Bankasi, the first truly national bank in the Turkish Republic was founded on 26 August 1924 at the First Economy Congress in Izmir. Atatürk appointed Celâl Bayar, his close aide, and then the Minister of Exchange Construction and Settlement as the president of the newly-formed bank. Isbank began operations with two branches and 37 staff under the leadership of Celal Bayar, its first general manager. The bank was established with a capital of 1 TL Million of which 250'000 TL was covered by Atatürk, and the rest by private investors. In 1927 the capital was raised by 2 Million TL so it could be merged with the National Credit Bank as equal partners.‎

Framed text in a style of early 19th century mostly seen in the transition period from manuscripts to the printing. Slightly faded on boards, stains on margins of two pages. Otherwise a very good copy. Harputî Ishak Efendi was a 19th-century statesman and Islamic scholar in the Ottoman Empire. After completing his first education in his hometown, he came to Istanbul and received a license from "Sahn-i Seman Madrasahs" in Fatih, Constantinople. While teaching in Istanbul madrasas, he taught "huzur dersleri" [i.e. the peace lessons] of Sultan Abdulaziz. He continued these lessons for many years as an educator. During the reign of Sultan Abdülhamit II, he was a commission member in the Ministry of Foundations (Waqfs), as a teacher of junior high, and as a qadi of Isparta and Medina. Harputi Ishak was an accomplished theological instructor and writer. In 1861, he published the Sems al-hakikat against Karl Pfander's ideas. During the 1860s he was a teacher at the prestigious Darü'l-Maarif secondary school. Harputî Ishak then rose within the religious scholarly ranks while an instructor at the Fatih Medrese, and he gained the attention of Sultan Abdülaziz. In the 1870s, he held the position of molla, as he was an instructor at the Darü'l-Maarif, and attained the rank of Istanbul payesi (rank of the qadi of Istanbul). His literary ventures had the official sanction and reflected so-called traditionalist views of Sultan Abdulaziz's administration in contrast to Euro-centric reformers such as Ali Pasha. In 1874, he wrote the Kashifu'l-esrâr ve dafiu'l-eshrar, against Bektashism. On the third page of the work, Ishak Efendi stated that he divided the book into three parts. The first part includes Fadlullah el-Hurufi (prophet, or, leader of Hurufism) and the basic principles of Bektashism, the second part, the criticism of Abdülmecid Firisteoglu's work named Isknâme [i.e. The book of light], and third part, the criticism of the views against religion in Câvidânnâme (The sacred book of Hurufis by their leader, Fazlullah). Ishaq says that all Hurufis and Bektashis are the enemies of Islamic religion in his book, which he describes as Hurufi and attacks in this direction. (Source: AN ANTI-ISLAMIC POLEMIC IN 1878 OTTOMAN ISTANBUL: S.W. KOELLE'S GIDAÜ'L-MÜLAHAZAT, by Scott Rank). It is not known how many copies of the book written by Ishaq were published in any source, but it is known that the readers and the public of the period were influenced by this Sunni-origin counter-discourse.

[PRESENTATION COPY SIGNED BY MOHAMED SAID FARSÎ THE LORD MAYOR OF JEDDAH, (1937-2019)]. [REVISED THIRD EDITION].‎

‎Fine Fine English Original brown imitation leather bdg. Dust wrapper. In publisher's special slip-case. Folio. (31 x 26,5 cm). Texts in entirely English, bilingual title on the slipcase in English and Arabic. 143, [1] p., fully color and b/w photos. Signed and inscribed in Turkish by Cidde emini [i.e. The Lord Mayor of Jeddah] Mohamed Said Farsi, dated 8.5.1984 to Turkish architect Selim Sabuncuoglu as 'Sayin Selim Sabuncuoglu, en güzel temennilerimle Jedda'dan bir hatira. Jeddah emini, Sait Farisi'. Sealed "YÜTAS: Construction Production Industry and Trade Co.". Dr. Mohammed Said Farsi, (1937-2019), was a former Lord Mayor of Jeddah, and a man of such aesthetic integrity that he traveled the world to meet with sculptors, painters, and musicians before replanning the city according to his own meticulously constructed vision. (Source: The Rake). Dr. Farsi was a visionary civic leader and philanthropist who is widely considered to be the father of modern Jeddah. He presided over a five-fold increase in the city's population, led its transformation, including creating the famous Jeddah corniche - a unique public space and an open-air gallery. Dr. Farsi, a noted art lover, was also the first mayor to introduce Western art and sculpture to an Arab city. He is survived by his son Hani Farsi and former wife Naglaa Asaad. Born in Makkah in 1937, Dr. M S Farsi qualified as an architect in Alexandria and returned to Saudi Arabia in the early 1960s. He entered government service in 1963 and rose rapidly. Just two years later he was appointed to the post of Planning Officer for the Western Region of Saudi Arabia. Covering an area larger than the United Kingdom and having within its boundaries the port city of Jeddah and the Holy Cities of Makkah and Medinah, this territory was in effect Saudi Arabia's window to the world and it was under Dr. Farsi's aegis that plans for these three cities were drawn up; given the immense significance of this work, Dr. Farsi liaised with the very highest levels of government. In 1972, Dr. Farsi became Mayor of Jeddah, a city that had grown from the historic walled city of his childhood to a large modern conurbation of more than 300,000 people. Until the middle of the following decade, Dr. Farsi presided over a period of spectacular and unprecedented growth for the city, which saw its population increase five-fold. That chaos was averted in the face of such a population explosion was due in no small part to Dr. Farsi's enlightened leadership. It is remarkable that in the midst of creating much-needed infrastructure, Dr. Farsi found time to create a city that was as beautiful as it was functional; with a carefully preserved historic center, gracious boulevards, and charming parks. A collector of Islamic and Western art, Dr. Farsi's vision as a city planner was to integrate important contemporary art into public spaces, thus enriching the lives of the inhabitants and reflecting the on-going cultural significance of the city, and his mayoralty is today remembered for its artistic flowering and for being at the forefront of design. Dr. Farsi made use of local artists and materials as well as commissioning works from many great Western masters, including Henry Moore, Victor Vasarely, Alexander Calder, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Joan Miró, Cesar Baldaccini, Sylvestre Monnier, Jean Arp, and Jacques Lipchitz, among many other stellar names in the international art world. He was the first mayor to introduce Western art and sculpture to an Arab city, as well as the first to display art that depicted the physical human form. At the time he stepped down, in 1986, Jeddah boasted over 400 pieces of public art. When he retired in 1986, Dr. Farsi returned to one of his primary passions - education. Within just one year he successfully qualified for his doctorate, attaining a Ph.D. from the University of Alexandria. (Source: Pressat). Jeddah: 'Bride of the Red Sea'.
