1944ref. 222257Shanghai and Okayama. 1944-1945. A group of correspondence comprising seventeen letters in envelopes ninety five sheets in total three postcards and a business card.

The seventeenth envelope measures 15 × 9.7cm and contains a letter measuring 20 × 30.6cm. The three postcards measure 14 × 9cm and the business card measures 9 × 5.5cm. The collection is in good to very good condition the envelopes show sign of wear and are chipped in places but still intact there is some occasional foxing or browning but overall in good to very good condition. A fascinating collection of Japanese wartime letters sent between members of an Okayama-based family named Takei. The letters date from the last two years of the Pacific War. The eldest of the three sons of the family Takei Minoru 武井稔 was at that time a student at the Tōa Dōbun Shoin University 東亜同文書院大学 also known as Tung Wen College in Shanghai a higher educational college established in 1939 by Japan's Tōa Dōbunkai East Asia Common Culture Society a Pan-Asianist organization which promoted Japanese cultural links with China while also seeking to expand Japan's power and influence throughout East Asia. Most of the letters in the collection were sent by Takei Minoru from his college in Shanghai to his family in Japan. Minoru's detailed letters give a vivid picture of life in college reporting the courses he was taking which included Chinese language literature and geography martial arts and 'Theories of the Japanese Spirit' Nihon Seishinron. Initially Takei Minoru seems to have been a good student but the letters also document his homesickness and the increasing difficulties of life in wartime Shanghai. The collection includes a circular sent to Minoru and presumably also other students by the Tōa Dōbunkai authorities in December 1944 explaining the wartime labour in shipbuilding and other factories which the students were now required to perform. The letter also discusses soaring inflation in Shanghai and the impact that this is having on the students' lives while another letter from the Tōa Dōbunkai dated October 1944 gives statistics of the hyperinflation in war-torn China which the organization offers as the reason for its plans to raise college fees. Minoru himself describes being sent to work in an engine factory and his letters express his growing concern about the war situation though he also describes happier moments such as celebrating New Year at the house of a Japanese resident in Shanghai. In a later letter in the collection Minoru describes how he has been called in for a medical examination for military conscription and been found fit for service at the highest level of fitness - a result he was hoping to achieve. He was hoping to return home before joining the military but wrote to his younger brothers that he had not been permitted to do so. By March 1945 the Shanghai college is pursuing Minoru for unpaid fees in letters addressed to his family's home address which suggests that he had left the university. The fact these letters were kept might imply that Minoru did not return from the war. An intriguing insight into the everyday life at a college campus in Shanghai of a young man in the midst of the chaos of war. . unknown
1942ref. 218445Japan. Circa 1942. Colour illustrations 3 origami "balloons" 15 x 7cm very good. The first balloon features bold illustrations of warships soldiers in combat and artillery pieces transforming a simple toy into a celebration of military might. The second displays award-winning slogans from a 1942 national propaganda competition including the infamous "欲しがりません勝つまでは" "We shall not ask for anything until victory is won"—a mantra of homefront sacrifice. Most chilling is the third balloon's juxtaposition: cheerful scenes of children playing with pigeons are undercut by ominous warnings like "spies are on the train and everywhere" revealing how paranoia infiltrated even innocent imagery. . unknown

Typ. A. Pougin, 1870. Tratta da “Le Monde illustré”, incisione in legno, b/n, cm 38,5 x 108 (il foglio). Disegnata da Auguste Deroy e incisa da A. Daundenarde (atelier de “Le Monde illustré”), veduta panoramica a volo d'uccello del confine franco germanico con segnati, in stampatello, i nomi delle principali città dei due paesi, da quelle in prossimità del confine a quelle più in lontananza. Sotto il titolo (al margine inferiore) si reca la seguente avvertenza: “ Le spectateur se suppose placé à 64 kilomètres au – dessus de Paris, ayant la Suisse à droite, la Belgique à gauche, et Berlin en face”. La guerra franco - prussiana fu combattuta dal luglio 1870 al maggio 1871, tra il secondo Impero francese (e dopo la caduta del regime, dalla terza Repubblica francese) e il Regno di Prussia, sostenuto dalla Confederazione tedesca del Nord e alleato con gli stati tedeschi del sud di Baden, Baviera e Wurttemberg. Il conflitto segnò l'esplodere della tensione tra le due potenze, andata accrescendosi in seguito al fallimento del progetto di Napoleone III di annessione del Lussemburgo, evento che causò la fine di un rapporto relativamente bilanciato con la Prussia di Otto von Bismark. I contrasti si erano fatti più accesi a causa della crescente influenza, per nulla tollerata da Parigi, esercitata dalla Prussia sugli stati tedeschi a sud del fiume Meno, appartenenti alla ex Confederazione germanica, e del ruolo guida esercitato dalla Prussia all'interno della Confederazione della Germania del Nord, creata nel 1867 dopo la vittoria prussiana nella guerra contro l'Impero austriaco. La guerra franco - prussiana fu il più importante conflitto combattuto in Europa a cavallo tra le guerre napoleoniche e la prima guerra mondiale, e si concluse con la completa vittoria della Prussia e dei suoi alleati. La conseguenza più rilevante fu la creazione dell'Impero tedesco, mentre la sconfitta francese determinò anche la fine del secondo Impero di Napoleone III e, con il crollo di questo, la temporanea subalternità del ruolo francese alle altre potenze del consesso europeo. Consuete pieghe editoriali e irrilevanti difetti, buono stato di conservazione.
