‎* Elena Liessner-Blomberg (* 31. Januar 1897 in Moskau; ? 1. Januar 1978 in Ost-Berlin) war eine russisch-österreichische Malerin, Grafikerin und Textilkünstlerin. Elena Liessner-Blomberg wurde am 31. Januar 1897 als Tochter des aus Riga stammenden Buchhalters Arthur Liessner und seiner russischen Frau Natalja geboren. Durch die österreichische Herkunft des Vaters besaß sie die österreichische Staatsbürgerschaft. Nach dem frühen Tod des Vaters 1901 verbrachte Elena viel Zeit im Schneider- und Korsettmacheratelier der Mutter, die zahlreiche Schauspielerinnen und Tänzerinnen zu ihren Kunden zählte. Nach Beendigung des Gymnasiums 1914 erhielt Elena Liessner Zeichenunterricht durch ihren Onkel Ernst Liessner, der zuvor im Pariser Exil gelebt hatte und Meisterschüler von Ilja Jefimowitsch Repin war. Nach einjähriger Arbeit als Zeichnerin im NARKOMPROS arbeitete sie 1919 dort als Sekretärin der Abteilung für Bildende Kunst. 1920 begann sie ein Studium der Malerei an den Staatlichen Freien Künstlerischen Werkstätten (Swomas), die später in WChUTEMAS umbenannt wurden. Dort wurde sie unter anderem durch Antoine Pevsner und Ljubow Sergejewna Popowa unterrichtet. Wie viele Mitstudenten verehrte sie die Gedichte Majakowskis, den sie an den WChUTEMAS mehrfach persönlich getroffen hatte. 1921 folgt sie ihrem Freund Eduard Schiemann und siedelte nach Berlin über. Zuvor hatte sie in Moskau dessen Atelier übernommen und führte dessen Zeichenunterricht für Kinder von Eisenbahnern fort. Im selben Jahr wurde ihr Entwurf für den Bühnenvorhang des Berliner Kabaretts Der blaue Vogel ausgewählt. 1924 heiratete sie den Innenarchitekten Albrecht Blomberg; ebenfalls 1924 wurde die Tochter Katja und 1925 der Sohn Michael geboren. In der Zeit von 1933 bis 1945 zog sich Elena Liessner-Blomberg weitgehend künstlerisch zurück und stellte nicht mehr aus. Sie arbeitete als Assistentin ihres Mannes, der als Innenarchitekt Aufträge im In- und Ausland übernahm. Um den Luftangriffen auf Berlin zu entkommen zog die Familie 1943 nach Feldafing. 1951 siedelte die Familie in die DDR über, wo sie mit Künstlern wie Dinah Nelken, Ernst Busch und Herbert Sandberg eine enge Freundschaft pflegte. Zunächst in Pirna ansässig zog die Familie 1954 nach Kleinmachnow, wo ihr Mann Albrecht Blomberg 1962 starb. In Kleinmachnow sehr zurückgezogen lebend erfolgte 1969 eine Neu-Entdeckung der Arbeiten von Elena Liessner-Blomberg. Dinah Nelken stellte sie in der Zeitschrift Das Magazin vor und Herbert Sandberg organisierte für sie eine Ausstellung in Berlin. Im gleichen Jahr erwarb das Kupferstichkabinett Dresden zahlreiche frühe Arbeiten der Künstlerin als Basis einer umfangreichen Sammlung. (Quelle Wikipedia)‎

‎LIEUTENANT ALBERT SMITH‎

‎1867 - 1921 ORIGINAL SIGNIFICANT ARCHIVE OF TEN 10 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A VICTORIAN ERA CAREER OFFICER IN THE ROYAL NAVY LITTERED WITH FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS OF NAVAL HISTORY INCLUDING THE SINKING OF THE HMS VICTORIA BY THE HMS CAMPERDOWN‎

‎ASEA/ENGLAND. Good. 1867. On offer is a superb group of original manuscript diaries handwritten by Lieutenant Albert Smith of the Royal Navy describing in vivid detail many important and historically significant scenes in British colonial and naval history over the course of 50 or so years in the Royal Navy from 1867 to 1921 as well as offering an intimate portrait of Lieutenant Smith through his lifetime. A dedicated diarist Lt. Smith chronicles his career over 10 notebooks totaling more than 1000 pages. Each diary is numbered accordingly from books 2 through to 18 1 7 and 12-17 are absent. The diaries give first-hand accounts of Lieutenant Smith's travels in the Royal Navy through England Europe Africa and the Middle East over the course of his naval career. Born in 1944 he was the child of Charles Smith and his wife Ann born Duffett of Wotton-under-Edge Gloucestershire. Historians collectors and researchers of the genre will delight in Smith's eye for detail providing specifics even in his genealogical notes on his nuclear and extended family down to the time of birth of each of his siblings and seven children! Fascinatingly the first volume of the diary tells of Albert's concerted efforts to find himself a wife. He writes that he has been in love with the daughter of a Mr. Gortley head of the Jews' Orphan School for three years. He also speaks of a 'Lizzie' and 'my little Jewess' and once again declares his love to a woman this time a 'Miss Hyde' but is rejected. Keeping with Smith's detailed diaries he gives the text of his letter to her. Smith eventually marries Elizabeth referred to as 'E B' on December 31 1870. Smith was a devout Christian and his religious sympathies and convictions are a common thread throughout all diaries. He describes himself often as a follower and believer in Jesus Christ and calls God "The Eternal Lord The First Cause The Father in Truth and Love." Despite his convictions Smith was also interested in unorthodox pursuits such as phrenology and astrology. The diaries also abound with passages of spiritual reflections and self-examination. The diaries commence on May 20 1867 off the coast of Algiers. Smith only 23 years old is serving on HMS Victoria the same HMS Victoria that he would see sink and take the lives of hundreds. The diaries begin on the day it sails from Malta for England. Smith then serves on the 'Boscawen training ship for Boys'. After serving on the ship he settles on the Island of Portland in Dorset until 1872 when he is promoted to Warrant Officer and assigned to the HMS Excellent. On the HMS Excellent Smith goes on tours of the East African Coast and the Mediterranean where on December 22 1892 he is promoted from Gunner to Chief Gunner. Also in 1892 during a tour in the Mediterranean Smith's ship the HMS Camperdown accidently rams into the HMS Victoria causing serious damage to the Camperdown and sinking the Victoria. The Victoria sinking causes the death of 21 officers and 348 men. The news of the accident caused a sensation and appalled the British public at a time when the Royal Navy occupied a prime position in the national consciousness. Smith's entry on the accident contains a two page printed clipping from some Naval publication which states "It is with an overwhelming sense of sorrow that we have to record the awful disaster that has happened to the 'Victoria.'…on Thursday afternoon June 22nd whilst manoevering off Tripoli the 'Victoria' and 'Camperdown' collided. The 'Victoria' sank 15 minutes afterwards bottom upward in 80 fathoms of water. It is computed that twentytwo Officers including the Commander-in-Chief and about 348 men were drowned.' The clipping records the names of the officers drowned and a list of the men 'invalidated' and currently recovering in a Royal Naval Hospital. Smith writes that he lying in his cabin on the 22nd reading a 'tale of a young lady who has months after marriage died of consumption nursed carefully by her husband who never left her - her husband had received a letter saying that his brother…had gone down in a ship off Smyrna and all hands perished when all at once I heard a commotion as tho the ship had grounded on shore. I hastily put on a coat left my cabin and rushed up the round the upper deck saw the life boats all carried…We had run into the flag ship Victoria - at least we collided she crossed our bows we were going astern with our Engine but still had headway on the ship. I went down to the fore camp astrident - the water was pushing in fast. I then changed coat & cap put my watch in my pocket went on bridge asking that boats might be lowered & told the flag seat that we were making water fast I then went to my station general …all at once she suddenly heeled over the sides of the ship was crowded with human beings struggling jumping hurrying to save their lives some jumped into the seas some ran down the bottom of the ship and some jumped over the quarter rail - on to the propeller which was now revolving with rapid rate out of the water. We were all staggered in a minute - she turned over went down bow first and left nothing but a mass of debris and struggling humanity in the water." Smith then writes of the lifeboats frantically trying to save as many men as possible and the carnage and horror that he witnessed as a result of this horrible collision. "Number missing 380 - saved 260." Smith writes another few pages on the cause of the crash and takes up a third of a page with a rough sketch of the Victoria's and Camperdown's actions that lead to the collision. The next few day's entries deal with the aftermath of the event including repairs on the Camperdown and the mourning for the lost men. "June 24 - a funeral procession passed by I shed tears over the brave fellows sunk beneath the waves" There are also pages describing Smith's time in the 'Malta Dockyard' as the boat is being fixed. Inventory: Diary 2 15 May 1867 to 1 September 1868; 3: 4 September 1868 to 19 September 1870; 4: 20 September 1870 to 7 September 1872; 'A diary written by "Albert Smith" G.M. & G.S. now serving on board HMS "Boscawen"; 5: 8 September 1872 to 27 November 1877; 6: 24 September 1877 to 31 October 1879; 8: 1 March 1883 to 31 December 1884; 9: 1 January 1885 to 15 March 1890; 10: 1 September 1892 to 7 June 1894; 11: 1 June 1894 to 31 December 1897; 'Work Book' while 'Serving as Chief Gunner on board HMS Camperdown Mediterranean Fleet Salonika ancient Thessalonika'; 18: 1 November 1914 to 16 February 1919; 'Diary of HM Lieutenant Albert Smith commenced at Dorking Surrey 1st November 1914 The Year of the Great War'.

‎1905 ORIGINAL BRITISH ROYAL NAVY OFFICER'S LOG BOOK HANDWRITTEN BY LIEUTENANT OF THE HMS CORNWALL‎

‎ABOARD THE HMS CORNWALL. Good. 1905. On offer is a super early 20th Century original manuscript Royal Navy Ship's Log handwritten and kept by a Lieutenant Douglas A. St______his signature inscription on the endpaper is hard to decipher. The log book is part statistical and part diary as Douglas begins the book August 5th 1905 through December 1906. There are some anecdotal remarks and some clippings tipped in but for the most part this details the Ship's position and condition on 34 pages. Then there are 20 pages of handwritten diary like notes clippings and anecdotal details of the Ship's cruise Aug 1st 1905 to last entry July 22 'the Home Fleet mobilized I took up my war appointment to HMS Canopus Battleship.' The Ship goes from Spithead to Torbay. He describes the Fleet thusly: '11 battleships; 14 1st Class Cruisers;4 2nd ;8 Scouts; 10 Gun Boats; 8 Parents Ships etc etc; 14 Destroyers; 12 T.B.; 15 Submarines.' Near the back in a separate section are other notes on the Ship some financial and statistical and the on two pages he describes his naval career in detail at the back beginning as a Cadet on HMS Camperdown and many other notable and storied ships such as HMS Boadicea HMS Benbow HMS Hotspur and HMS Theseus to name a few.

‎LIEUTENANT HENRY CABELL MADDUX, JR, USN‎

‎1941 - 1945 ORIGINAL GROUP OF MANUSCRIPT DIARIES 7 AND NOTEBOOK 1 DETAILING THE SERVICE DUTIES AND SOMETIMES EXTREME OPINIONS OF AN OFFICER OF THE STORIED USS RANGER AMERICA'S FIRST TRUE AIRCRAFT CARRIER‎

‎USS RANGER et al. Good. 1941. On offer is a super group of eight 8 original manuscript diaries and notebook handwritten by Lieutenant Henry Cabell Maddux Jr. while serving on the noted American warship the U.S.S. Ranger the first U.S. Navy ship specifically designed and built as an aircraft carrier. Henry proves to be a sporadic writer. Long pauses and then full and well filled pages of his doings duties but most importantly his observations of the war both predictive and specific. Historians and researchers of WWII and the actions of the US Navy will find an unusual author and commentator in Lt. Maddux. He frequently comments negatively on the methodology and philosophy behind the American war effort and the orders he and his superior officers are required to implement or not. We note a passage commenting on the Navy's desire to fight and the Army holding it back. We also note what we feel are perhaps very insightful but near seditious comments regarding Pearl Harbor: "Ensign stopped me and told me about Japan's attack as I went to my shower. At last it is here. Just as I have said for so long. God help us now. West Va. sunk Oklahoma on fire Lexington damaged and God knows what else. The fleet anchored asleep and off guard. Typical. Someone will have to answer. How could Japs come 4000 miles unseen Our poor dumb American fools - trade school stuffed shirts. Even our President fooled. Now I hope our people are satisfied. We may win but we don't deserve to. Thousands of Americans dead tonite and criminal neglect by high officers is to blame. I can just picture it. Everyone ashore lights on no blackout - suddenly the unmanned ships were blown up. I bet not one plane was ready to take the air and fight at once - not one Army or Navy. A historic day but bad for us. Now Mr. Wheeler Nye Fish Lindbergh et al - what have you to say. How right I have been all along. I can't see how anyone could have failed to see it coming. Well the war's on - let's see the great democracy try to fight democratically." Of the eight books there is: One book is of a technical nature: lists of those on watch duty sailors personnel in watch groups etc. notes from discussions regarding effective use of torpedoes perhaps half filled; then; 1941 March 27 to Dec 31st; 1942 three books the first Jan 1 to April 20th the second blank until June 25th filled near fully through September 30th the third book beginning October 2nd to November 23rd though missing a few days in November. We note the last 2-3 words of his last entry were removed. 1944 Jan 1 to Dec 31st; 1945 two books the first May 9th to October 12th; the second Jan 1 to May 8th. We can find no explanation for Lieutenant's propensity for using multiple books for some years. There are many bit of ephemera tucked in: letters chits and even pages used for diary entries when the book was not at hand. The Lieutenant was a fairly consistent though sporadic with in the books proper writing near daily though the entries tend to jump around the individual volumes and were sometimes written on loose sheets of paper then tucked in. As typical with WWII diaries there are entries about Pearl Harbor and the start of the war the atomic bombing of Japan and the end of the war in Europe and Japan though we find only a few notes and a few oblique references regarding the USS Ranger's most notable actions in the Algeria-Morocco landings and actions off Casablanca both in November 1942 and the Norway raid in October 1943. For of the books are largish 7¾ inch tall the others about 6 inches tall. All are page a day style.

‎LIEUTENANT DAVID M WOERNER‎

‎1944 - 1945 RIVETING ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT FIRST HAND ACCOUNT OF GERMAN ARMY AND THEIR SERBIAN MINION'S BRUTALITY MURDER AND THE HORRIBLE DEPRIVATIONS METED OUT TO THEIR AMERICAN PRISONERS‎

‎AUW NURNBURG GERMANY BALTIMORE MARYLAND MD. Good. 1944. Softcover. On offer is a riveting simply sensational original manuscript relic of World War II being a US Army Prisoner of War diary kept by Lieutenant David M. Woerner of Company A of the 81st Engineer Battalion. Lt. Woerner originally from Baltimore Maryland was initially captured on December 16 1944 in Auw Germany quickly escaped only to be recaptured on December 19 1944. He spent 136 days in captivity in the final chaotic days of the War in Europe. The diary is a gripping 71 page account of his initial imprisonment at Offizierlager XIII-B at the Kriegsgefangen in Hammelburg Germany and his forced march with his German captors to Nuremburg. It is a chilling first-hand account of German brutality deadly air raids terrible neglect and deprivation grisly scenes and casual breathtaking murder. He describes the conditions at the camp at Bad Orb notations for those KIA killed in action the wounded and those who escaped. The entries run from December 16 1944 to May 3 1945 with some undated entries at the end containing some not-so-kind words about the German civilians. Historians and researchers of prisoners of the German Army conditions for POWs will find a very intimate very detailed record of prisoner's horrible circumstances and the brutality of their keepers plus a great deal about the Serbian contingent that assisted the Nazis. Here are snippets: "Assigned to the detail of maintaining the 422 supply route. Our headquarters is near the Siegfried Line. German Artillery registered on my jeep at the first crossroad. We fought like wild-cats. Not an ordinary fight. It was for keeps. He or I. I wrenched his rifle to the ground and finished him with his own helmet. One by one the boys crawled through the blood and snow to safety - all but Schonova. I dragged him. AUW was butchered the next day. We were surrounded. We are always cold dirty and hungry and everyone is irritable. A cigarette butt could cause a riot. Among the real unselfish gentlemen are Col. Matthews Col. Nagle and Chaplain Neal. Others whined like babies. There was never any medical attention from the Germans. Illness often meant curtains. On one occasion a German beat Lt. Edwards with a spike bayonet at interrogation. We inform the Germans we are receiving 300 grams below a starvation diet…The Red Cross representative says our diet is sufficient. At 10:22 A.M. a German guard shot and killed Lt. Werks outside of our barracks. It was a case of deliberate murder. A "kind" old lady and daughter warned me in GARS to be careful of the S.S. troops. All Germany fears them and I thought it fine of these nice people to warn us of their activities. Yet a picture of the old lady's son found by a tank crewman revealed an S.S. trooper."

‎LIEUTENANT PY MATTHEWS JR, US NAVY CHIEF ENGINEER P Y‎

‎1955 ORIGINAL SIGNIFICANT MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND JOURNAL OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST ICE BREAKER ON IT'S FIRST POLAR EXPEDITION HANDWRITTEN BY THE CHIEF ENGINEER‎

‎ASEA ABOARD THE USS GLACIER. Good. 1955. On offer is a super pair of significant original manuscript journals handwritten by Lieutenant P.Y. Matthews Jr. a United States Navy Chief Engineer of the noted USS Glacier detailing the Chief's voyage and participation in Operation Deep Freeze I making for a very detailed account in two volumes beginning in the Antarctic upon arrival December 15 1955 until departure April 1 1956. Written as a group of letters titled 'Dear Jan' it appears from entries in the journal that Jan was perhaps a niece the narrative makes for an intimate sharing of observations and impressions of all the Chief sees. The Chief is as each and every entry attests a personable enthusiastic participant in the voyage who well realizes the significance of the trip. I his own words: 'DEAR JAN The stirring saga of the USS GLACIER the world's most powerful ice breaker and its first polar voyage through six of the seven seas including ice breaking in Antarctica for Operation Deep Freeze I.' We note he writes of sitting down with Admiral Byrd too! Adding great depth are a small number of hand drawn maps diagrams and pictures. Volume 1 is rather half full with 80 or so pages of writings as he only uses the facing pages but Volume 2 contains only a few pages of text the rest is blank as the expedition had ended. Also includes a newspaper clipping about Matthews stating that he had taken much color film footage of Antarctica and Little America. Tucked in is a copy of a document stating that Matthews was in the first landing party on Princess Astrid Coast the original was placed in a cairn there.
