1940réf. 220264Circa1940s. Photographic album with eighty mounted black and white photographic illustrations of varying sizes a further four photographs loosely inserted. Unpaginated. Some with captions some with handwritten descriptions on the verso. 25 x 17cm. Faux leather blind stamped decorative binding a little worn on the edges the rear gutter has been neatly strengthened. Good condition. A strange and very disturbing but historically significant album of photos taken by a Japanese man before and during the Asia-Pacific War. Some photos have been removed from the album but those remaining include family images and school photos taken at the 80th anniversary of Takefumi Higashi Junior School in Echizen City Fukui Prefecture Japan in 1951. A set of five photos stamped with the mark of "E. Tsukio" and the place name Takefumi Higashi show the aftermath of an exceptionally heavy snowfall. The photographs in this album seems to be associated with a family surnamed Hiroba as a number have handwritten notations on the back bearing the names of various individuals with that surname. The album includes a set of commercially produced photographs of the aftermath of the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake including grim images of piles of bodies of earthquake victims. These are annotated as having been a present from a man named Hiroba Shigenobu. A photo at the rear of the album shows a photo of a Japanese army officer with sword and medals and is annotated "Hiroba Shigeharu 6 October 1940 on the eve of the third expedition to Manchuria given by Takeda Fumio". Next to this is a set of commercially produced photographs of Port Arthur focusing on the monuments to the 1905 Japanese victory there in the Russo-Japanese War. These monuments were a popular tourist attraction for Japanese people visiting Manchuria before or during the Asia-Pacific War. There are also numerous original photos taken in Harbin and the surrounding area mostly in March and April 1941. These include pictures of the streetscape of Harbin and local people participating in an ice festival on the river but also of Japanese military actions in the area - setting up an observation post transporting goods by horse-cart etc. One photo shows the range of cigarette brands available for sale in wartime Harbin. Four photos show a ceremony celebrating the establishment of the "Shimizu Unit no. 24" in Northeast China. The celebrations included a sumo wrestling competition and a party where Japanese troops were entertained by Chinese "beautiful geisha" raising the disturbing spectre of the recruitment of "comfort women" by the wartime Japanese military. More shocking still are nine photos of beheadings and other acts of extreme violence being perpetrated on people during the war in China. The precise locations of these scenes are unclear. Some of the photos appear to have been commercially produced as they contain title inscriptions in within the print but others may be original. One titled photo shows "the heads of bandits being transported by train". A haunting reminder both the horrors of war and of the way in which these can be interwoven into apparently normal family lives. . hardcover

1945réf. 14242Nugola Italy: US Army 1945. Softcover. Very good . Oblong 16mo 5.5" x 3.75". Seventeen sepia-toned photographic prints each with a printed captioned tissue-guard and bound into printed covers with yapped edges. Covers with light wear to edges the prints just a tinge curled but bright clean and well-preserved though a few shots are slightly over-exposed. On the verso of the last photographs are some notes identifying this booklet as belonging to Sgt. James Jones a soldier who appears in one of the photographs herein. Overall in very good or better condition. A nice collection of labeled group shots of each platoon and subordinate unit to this ammunition company which served in North Africa and Italy during World War II. Compared to white soldiers African-American recruits and draftees were disproportionately assigned to ordnance and supply units as the Army leadership generally did not trust African-Americans to have combat leadership responsibilities. They also served under white officers. Despite these insults they often served with distinction. While we can find little hard information about the history of this unit's engagements some archival finding aids for veterans of the unit suggest that it saw engagements in North Africa Sicily and Italy during World War II. Compared with front-line combat units ordnance units were less likely to publish regimental history volumes at the close of the war. As such this souvenir book is probably the best extant document of the unit's organization and its service. While we have encountered one other copy we do not trace any others in the auction record or in OCLC. Rare. [US Army] unknown

Quarto unpaginated about 100pp. illustrated with 83 original tipped-in photographs and an envelope containing 13 more loose and unidentified images laid-in. Housed in the original cardstock clasped folder. Many of the pages have a bottom fold which does not fully open without the potential to tear though all of the contents can be read with some effort. Some pages a touch foxed and a few prints are loosened from their pages and laid-in in the right place. Overall in very good condition. A well-organized and illustrated military textbook for a wartime class on aircraft identification which was probably taught in many places but organized at the US Army Air Force base in Harrisburg. An introductory sheet in perfect bureaucratic fashion placed near the end of this textbook states: "The course in Aircraft Identification consists of ten hours spaced over a period of six weeks." It goes on to list a series of 42 aircraft--American German Italian French and Japanese--which will be easily identified by all successful students by the end of the course. The first few dozen pages consist of detailed folding charts with data on dimensions payloads etc. Another section of about 12pp. gives a background on various best practices when trying to identify aircraft as well as some of the principles behind the course. The course utilized the "WEFT" system wings engine fuselage tail to help individuals soldiers intelligence agents etc. identify planes in the field from various angles at different heights and in certain contexts. Most of the pages dedicated to individual planes contain two photographs from different angles and with different shading trying to mimic real battlefield conditions under which someone might try to identify an aircraft. An unusually engaging wartime military textbook appealing to photography aviation and military collectors alike. Not located in OCLC thus notably absent in the holdings of the Army War College Library which retains most technical manuals and course books. Army Air Forces Intelligence School unknown

1903Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript autograph document signed by Mehmed Said Pasha sent to Trabzon Vilayat, Ordu Kaza, Hasbamane Nahiya local manager, faziletlu 'Mehmed Ali Sevki Beyefendi'. 33,5x20 cm. Folded. 1 p. In Ottoman script. Mehmed Said Pasha was an Ottoman monarchist, senator, statesman and editor of the Turkish newspaper Jerid-i-Havadis. He supported the CUP, the political party which came to power after the Ottoman coup d'état of 1913. His origin comes from 'Sebazâde family' from Ankara. He became first secretary to Sultan Abdul Hamid II shortly after the Sultan's accession, and is said to have contributed to the realizations of his majesty's design of concentrating power in his own hands; later he became successively minister of the interior and then governor of Bursa, reaching the high post of grand vizier in 1879. He was grand vizier seven more times under Abdul Hamid II, and once under his successor, Mehmed V. He was known for his opposition to the extension of foreign influence in Turkey. n 1896, he took refuge at the British embassy in Constantinople, and, though then assured of his personal liberty and safety, remained practically a prisoner in his own house. He came into temporary prominence again during the revolution of 1908. On 22 July he succeeded Mehmed Ferid Pasha as grand vizier, but on the 6 August was replaced by the more liberal Kâmil Pasha, at the insistence of the Young Turks. Also during 1908, Mehmed Said Pasha bought the famed Istanbul arcade in the Beyoglu (Pera) district, today known as Çiçek Pasaji ("Flower Passage"). The modern name became common in the 1940s; during Mehmed Said Pasha's ownership in the 1900s and 1910s, the arcade was known as Sait Pasa Pasaji ("Said Pasha Passage"). During the Italian crisis in 1911-12, he was again called to the premiership. He was again removed from power by the Savior Officers (who backed the Freedom and Accord Party (Liberal Union) against the Committee of Union and Progress) and replaced by a new cabinet supported by the Officers and the Freedom and Accord Party. The CUP would return to power, however, the next year after the Ottoman coup d'état of 1913. (Source: Wikipedia). Seven lines on special paper with watermark 'Joynson Superfine'.
