World War II Propaganda
World War II Broadside Protesting Forced Labor and Deportation of European Refugees Under Vichy France 1941
1941. Broadside issued in 1941 by the Emergency Committee to Stop Deportations to the Sahara Desert articulating an urgent appeal against the forced deportation of anti-fascist refugees by the Vichy French government during the early years of the Second World War. Written by Edward K. Barsky a leading figure in the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee the document calls on American citizens to intervene diplomatically by contacting both the French Embassy in Washington D.C. and the U.S. Secretary of State. The broadside documents contemporary awareness of mass deportations and forced labor policies under the Pétain regime describing plans to remove large numbers of refugees-including veterans of the Spanish Civil War members of the International Brigades and political exiles from across Europe-to labor camps connected to the Trans-Saharan Railroad. The text situates these actions within broader patterns of repression highlighting the targeting of anti-fascist populations and the international composition of those affected. As such the document provides primary-source evidence of early wartime advocacy efforts in the United States responding to refugee persecution and authoritarian policies in Vichy-controlled territories.<br /> <br /> Single-page printed broadside. New York: Emergency Committee to Stop Deportations to the Sahara Desert 1941. Measuring approximately 10.25 x 8 inches. Printed in black text within a ruled border on brown paper. The text consists of a headline explanatory statement and direct appeal for public action including instructions to contact diplomatic officials.<br /> <br /> Light wear consistent with age; text clear and legible; overall very good condition. A scarce wartime advocacy document reflecting early American engagement with the European refugee crisis under Vichy rule. unknown

Spanish Civil War
Spanish Civil War Original Large Photographs of Graves Unearthed
1936. Lot of 2 Large vintage Photographs: One Large photo shows graves outside a mausoleum that had been disinterred by the communists in the Spanish Civil War. Captioned in French. Several caskets are opened on its steps and even stood up some of the skeletons against the columns at its entrance. This grisly shot shows the vicious nature of the Spanish Civil War which saw both the Nationalists led by Franco and the communist and anarchist militants commit extreme acts to instill terror in the opposition. The communists charged with this violation had an enemy not only in Franco but in the Church which they considered a powerful reactionary and oppressive force within Spain. This kind of sacrilegious deed likely took place during the Red Terror which was a bloody period after Franco's 1936 coup when the leftist factions exacted ruthless anticlerical and class-based violence within their domain. Comes with another photo of a Russian Orthodox church that has been requisitioned by the Soviets and turned into a store for among other things a large plaque of Lenin and shelves full of supplies. Captioned in French. Several of the paintings and altarpieces have been taken down and placed alongside a large metal plaque of Bolshevik leader Lenin. In this photo we see the largely atheist Bolsheviks make a statement by turning a grand Orthodox into a repository for some supplies and also the arrival of a new guiding ideology as represented by the plaque of Bolshevik leader Lenin and the communist ideal he embodied. Both images are rolled with some imperfections on edges but in very good condition overall. unknown

Cold War Air Force in Texas
Cold War U.S. Air Force Transport Operations MATS 62nd Troop Carrier Wing Photo Album 1959 to 1963
1959. U.S. Air Force photo album 1959 to 1963 documents Military Air Transport Service operations and everyday service life within the 62nd Troop Carrier Wing during the early Cold War providing visual evidence of strategic airlift infrastructure aviation technology and personnel culture. The material captures the role of transport units responsible for global logistical support illustrating how troop movement supply distribution and training exercises were sustained through coordinated air operations. It further supports research into mid-20th-century military mobility and the lived experience of enlisted personnel within a non-combat but operationally essential branch of U.S. military activity.<br /> Album containing 168 black and white silver gelatin photographs primarily measuring approximately 3.25 x 4.5 inches with several images dated May 1959 and five color photographs dated January 1960 along with six larger loose prints including four captioned press photographs documenting the Coulee Crest military exercise conducted from Larson Air Force Base. The contents emphasize aircraft and airfield environments including troop transport planes such as the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II and fighter aircraft including the F-100C Super Sabre alongside earlier bomber models still in circulation. The album cover features graphics associated with Tactical Air Command and the 62nd Troop Carrier Wing with a stamped image of a jet aircraft against a dark blue ground. In addition to aviation imagery the compiler included photographs of personal interest notably automobiles and a hot rod show as well as images taken in the Midwestern United States including western Ohio and nearby Indiana. The latter portion of the album documents travel through the American Southwest with identifiable locations including areas near Austin Texas and Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.<br /> <br /> Produced during a period when Military Air Transport Service units supported ongoing Cold War logistics following earlier involvement in Korea and Indochina the album reflects the continued centrality of airlift capacity in U.S. military planning prior to large-scale escalation in Vietnam. The combination of official aircraft imagery press photographs and informal personal scenes situates the compiler within both institutional operations and broader postwar American culture including car enthusiasm and interstate mobility. Such material contributes to the study of Cold War military infrastructure aviation history and the social life of service members stationed within the continental United States. Light wear to album edges and corners photographs well-preserved with minor handling marks loose prints intact; overall very good. A detailed visual record of U.S. Air Force transport operations and service culture at the outset of the 1960s. unknown

Vietnam NO MORE WAR
1970 Anti-War "NO MORE WAR" Poster by Terry & Dennis Newell
1970. Anti-WarVietnam War "NO MORE WAR". Designed and photographed by Terry and Dennis Newell 1970. Measures 35" × 16" on offset tan lithographic paper. This monochromatic anti-war poster illustrates three scenes of a man and woman in three stages of their lives. In the first photo a young girl innocently gifts a young boy flowers on a grassy field. The following image conveys the young girl and boy in their adulthood---dressed in typical 1970's attire---as the woman hands flowers to the man in great despair. As her partner leaves to fight in the war she is left on the field longing for his return. Yet in the last image she is left lying flowers atop his coffin wrapped in the American flag. The Vietnam anti-war movement from 1960-1970 was one of the most pervasive displays of opposition to the government policy in modern times as protests raged all over the country. As a result posters like these were just one of the mediums used to highlight anti-war narratives. Five inch tear on the top margin minorly affecting the title text. Signs of foxing and discoloration to due to age otherwise in very good condition. unknown

Report of the Committee to whom was referred the communication of Patrick Magruder clerk of he House of Representatives relative to the Destruction of the Library of Congress. Decmeber 12 1814. First edition.
Washington: L& G. Way printers 1844. . 8vo. Original wraps. 12.5 x 21cm. 12pp. plus 3 folding charts. 13th Cong. 3d sess. House doc. 33.OCLC 29139384.Patrick Magruder 1768-1819 was the second Librarian of Congress and served in that capacity from 1807-1815. He served both as the Clerk of the House and as Librarian of Congress as had his predecessor. Magruder had the misfortune of serving in those capacities at the time the Capitol of the United States was burned by the British during the War of 1812. At the time of the burning of the Capitol in August of 1814 Magruder was absent from Washington D.C. for health reasons. .He left the Office of the House and the Library of Congress in the charge of his brother George Magruder and two assistants. In addition to the books in the Library of Congress Patrick Magruder's office records which included the financial records of the House of Representative were destroyed. A Congressional investigation into Magruder's handling of Congressional funds found discrepancies including a shortage of $20000. .Although Magruder managed to avoid prosecution for his actions he resigned on January 28 1815. I have in my collection an 1814 government publication which contains a letter from Patrick Magruder to the Speaker of the House in defense of his actions which in turn includes an account by two office assistants of the events leading to the destruction of the Office of the House and the Library of Congress. Their account says in part "every thing belonging to the office together with the library of congress we venture to say might have been removed in time if carriages could have been procured but it was altogether impossible to procure them either for hire or by force." After Magruder's resignation the positions of Clerk of the House and Librarian of Congress were separated. different broadside from Marshall.From the collection of Frederic Gale Ruffner Jr. the founder of Gale Research Detroit.

SPANISH CIVIL WAR 148 contributors
Authors Take Sides on the Spanish War.
Left Review London. 1937. First edition. Royal octavo. 24 pages. Wrappers. A publication arising from a letter signed by twelve European writers prominent in Europe including Aragon W.H. Auden Nancy Cunard Heinrich Mann Pablo Neruda Ramon Sender Tristan Tzara etc. The letter was addressed to the writers of England Scotland Ireland and Wales and asked whether they were for or against the government of Republican Spain. Somehow Ezra Pound got involved he was neutral in a combative kind of way: ''Spain is an emotional luxury to a gang of sap-headed dilettantes''. The majority of responses were in favour and these include messages from Samuel Beckett ''�Up the Republic!'' - almost the shortest contribution Kay Boyle Thomas Burke Cyril Connolly Aleister Crowley C. Day Lewis Liam O'Flaherty Ford Madox Ford David Gascoyne Victor Gollancz Laurence Housman Aldous Huxley C.L.R. James Arthur Koestler John Lehmann Rose Macaulay ''AGAINST FRANCO'' - the shortest contribution Hugh Macdiarmid Louis MacNeice John Middleton Murry Sylvia Pankhurst V.S. Pritchett Herbert Read Olaf Stapledon Sylvia Townsend Warner Clough Williams-Ellis etc etc. In the neutral camp were Vera Brittain Robert Byron T.S. Eliot H.G. Wells V. Sackville-West etc. Only five messages are in the ''Against'' section including ones from Edmund Blunden Arthur Machen and Evelyn Waugh. The following year a similar exercise was carried out in America where 418 writers gave their opinions. This pamphlet has also been the inspiration for questionnaires on the Vietnam War and even the Falklands War.Foxing mostly light on almost every page. Covers lightly stained. Spine starting to split. Good. Left Review, London. unknown

[Spanish-American War]: [Philippines]: [Rear Admiral George Dewey]
The Battle of Manila. Fought May 1st by Rear Admiral Dewey. Spanish Loss: 11 Ships 150 Killed 250 Wounded. American Loss: None caption title
New York: Muller Luchsinger & Co 1898. Color chromolithograph 16 x 20 inches printed on thick glossy paper. Corners a bit chipped several short closed edge tears minor surface wear. Image area still vibrant and clean. Very good overall. A striking and very rare lithograph capturing an important moment during the Spanish-American War specifically the American Navy's assault on Manila Bay in the Philippines in 1898. In the present scene three U.S. warships from the Asiatic Squadron in the left and middle including Admiral Dewey's flagship the U.S.S. Olympia fire their guns toward a few retreating ships flying the Spanish flag. A Spanish ship at middle right is almost completely sunken with just a portion of the flag peaking above the water. The scene depicts the first major engagement of the Spanish-American War a decisive victory for the American Navy that stands as one of the most lop-sided naval battles in history. During the course of the encounter the Spanish Pacific Squadron was destroyed and effectively ended Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. The bombardment was commanded by Rear Admiral George Dewey 1837-1917 whose head-and-shoulders portrait appears in the bottom left corner.<br /> <br /> The work was accomplished by the New York firm of Muller Luchsinger & Company a prolific but still somewhat obscure producer of prints lithographs and chromolithographs in the latter-19th and early-20th centuries. OCLC records just two institutional copies at the Library of Congress and the Clements Library. A dynamic and patriotic American naval scene picturing the United States Navy's obliteration of the Spanish Navy in Manila. Muller, Luchsinger & Co unknown
