19208vo., First Edition, with a portrait and 10 plates on 7, fore-edge browning slightly; original regimental grey cloth, upper board blocked with crest in black, upper board and backstrip lettered in black, covers mildly age-stained else a very good, clean copy. The astonishing, if gruelling, account of the 25th (Navvies) Battalion of The Middlesex Regiment in WWI, and THE ONLY BRITISH UNIT HISTORY IN THE RUSSIAN INTERVENTION. 'Ward's story really belongs in the main to the 'after-the-war' period in Russia. He gives an interesting account of Admiral Koltchak, whom he admired, and shows how insuperable were the difficulties which that unfortunate patriot had to face. It is now beginning to be recognised that Koltchak was, with the possible exception of Wrangel, far and away the ablest of the White [Russian] commanders. For the rest, his [Ward's] story is one of gallantry and endurance in frightful conditions displayed by troops for the most part of a low physical category' (Falls). 'In 1915 [Ward] raised the 25th Navvies Battalion, which was then ordered to the Far East and ultimately to Siberia to support Admiral Koltchak.' (Sutcliffe). Very scarce. Enser, p.68; Falls, p.236; Sutcliffe, p.328; not recorded by White.

réf. 3733807Metz Alsace-Lorraine German Empire: Gebrüder Notton Römerstr. 10 1908. Composite silver process photograph. Mount: 18¾ x 23½ inches. Image: 14¼ x 17¾ inches. Light rubbing to edges of mount with minor wear at bottom right; margins foxed; small mark at bottom extending faintly into image; very good. This is a rich and complex composite photograph from 1908 captioned with the words “Zur Erinnerung an Meine Dienstzeit” which translates to “In remembrance of my service time.” It was created for the 10th Company 8th Württemberg Infantry Regiment Grand Duke Frederick of Baden’s Regiment—possibly light infantry as in “Jäger infanterieregiment.” This regiment was based in Strasbourg in Alsace-Lorraine and served within the Imperial German Army. The surnames of these men are: Baibel Baierl Bauer Berger Jos. Burger Joh. Bumb Büchel Dirr Dirschedl Echtler Feibler Forster Fuchs Gaibl Ganslmeier Gundel Habender Hagl Haub Haüselmeier Herzog Hiemer Huber Jacob Janker Keim Kirchbauer Klemm Knott Kopp Kraus Kreckl Kübel Laubhardt Laubenbacher Lautner Lippert Maier Joh. Maier Seb. Merkel Miehling Moosburger Petermann Pfeilschifter Pflug Prior Rachl Rauschecker Ries Rommel Schmid Schmidt Schnabel Scholz Schraudolf Schweiber Stegmeier Sutter Ulm Weber Weindl Wenniger Wohlfarth Zieringer Zeilinger Zirngibl. The photograph presents a multitude of uniformed soldiers in a staged setting designed to resemble a military encampment or a gathering. The arrangement of soldiers is not casual but highly structured with officers shown with swords and details prominently positioned in the foreground. Many of the men are shown hoisting enormous beer steins with rather serious expressions. The photograph also features regimental flags and other military regalia which were symbols of pride and unity for the unit. The arrangement of soldiers in rows with some seated and others standing is typical of military portraiture of the time intended to display the order and discipline of the troops. The backdrop of the photograph features a bucolic scene a blend of a real outdoor setting and painted backdrops. This kind of photography allowed for the superimposition of studio-taken images onto a different background giving the impression that all individuals were present at a single location. Such methods were used to create cohesive unit photographs when it was not possible to gather everyone at once. The inclusion of phrases like “Mit Gott für König und Vaterland” With God for King and Fatherland reinforces the patriotic sentiment of the era and the soldiers’ commitment to their country and monarch. Other phrases such as “Die Well ist grofs Die Welt ist schön; Wer weifs ob wir uns wiedersehn!” “The world is big the world is beautiful; Who knows if we will see each other again!” reinforce the romanticism of military service. From a photographic history perspective the image represents the advancements in photo montage techniques at the turn of the 20th century. The image quality clarity and composition indicates that the photographers Gebruder Notton used a large-format camera which was capable of capturing detailed group portraits. A rather remarkable photograph encapsulating the military ethos of the German Empire during a period of intense nationalism and militarism leading up to the First World War. unknown

Le Bonheur, poème en six chants ; 2. Le Génie vengé ; 3. Précis historique sur le régiment d'Auvergne depuis sa création jusqu'à présent. Précédé d'une épitre aux manes du chevalier d'Assas ; 4. Par quelles causes et par quels degrés les lois de Lycurgue se sont altérées chez les Lacédémoniens jusqu'à ce qu'elles ayent été anéanties ; 5. De la Lecture des romans, fragment d'un manuscrit sur la sensibilité. Volume in-8. Londres, s.n., 1772. [4]-CXX-116p. La Haye & Paris, s.n., 1780. [2]-16p. Clostercamp, s.n., 1783. front.-51p. Lyon & Paris, Durand & Vallat, 1767. [4]-100-[2]p. Edition originale posthume de la pièce d'Helvetius, sans le feuillet d'errata qui manque souvent. La longue préface est du à Saint-Lambert qui a retrouvé la pièce dans les papiers d'Helvetius. Edition originale de la pièce de Guyétant. Né en 1748, il publia cette pièce à la louange de Voltaire puis devint le secrétaire du marquis de Villette. Edition originale rare du texte sur le régiment d'Auvergne et Louis d'Assas, célèbre chevalier mort lors de la bataille de KlosterKampen en 1760, bien complet de son frontispice dépliant. Cet ouvrage ne se rencontre que très rarement et a bénéficié de deux tirages qui ne diffèrent que par le nom de l'auteur sur la page de titre (L*** au lieu de Lamy comme sur le nôtre). L'ouvrage est publié tardivement (23 ans après la mort d'Assas) et s'inscrit, après Voltaire en 1769, dans une lignée d'ouvrages sur Assas et le régiment. Le frontispice représente « Le Curtius Français ou la mort du chevalier d'Assas ». En effet, la victoire eut lieu car avant de mourir, le chevalier aurait eu le temps de dire : « A moi, l'Auvergne, c'est l'ennemi ! » (version contestée). Seuls deux exemplaires répertoriés sur CCfr et WorldCat (BnF & BM Lyon - ce dernier numérisé sur googlebooks). L'ouvrage contient quelques notes marginales d'époque, à l'encre. Edition originale de l'ouvrage de Mathon, couronné par l'Académie des Inscriptions. Le dernier ouvrage est en première édition séparée d'un texte de Mesmon paru dans le Journal de Lecture. Reliure demi-basane, dos à nerfs orné, pièce de titre maroquin, tranches rouges, petits défauts. Bon exemplaire avec un texte rare.
