1942Very Good German n modern aesthetic full leather bdg. Folio. (32 x 24 cm). Bilingual in German and Turkish. 103, [1] p., b/w plates. Includes exhibition booklet (15 pp., b/w ills.), and text of the speech of German ambassador (Franz von Papen) for this exhibition (4 pp.). "The New German Architectural Exhibition opened in Ankara Exhibition House between 31st January and 15th February 1943 was one of the exhibitions opened during World War II. This exhibition occupied a distinctive place on the public agenda due to its size and effect in media on that date. A great number of Turkish authorities, foreign diplomatic representatives, and journalists attended the exhibition, which was opened with great efforts, and the leading role of the German Ambassador in Ankara, Franz von Papen, and such a situation caused the exhibition to attract attention. Even though the civil architectural and engineering works stopped completely in Germany during the War and some of the projects were draft and incomplete, they tried to be exhibited to give the impression of Nazi Germany's "great power" with the aim of propaganda. In Turkey's press, great praises were presented in writings towards the magnificence and architects of German architecture. Not only axis powers but also allied powers tried to attract the attention of the Turkish Government and the public agenda in Turkey using propaganda methods. As a result of such attempts, the UK opened exhibitions in 1944 on English architecture in Ankara first and then in Istanbul. Similar praises spent for German architecture were also presented to that of the UK. At this point, it may be stated that as for the War, Turkey followed a policy of active neutrality, Turkish media also followed the same policy."

1921Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) An extremely rare litho propaganda map published as an extra supplement to the Tercümân-i Hakîkat [i.e. The Translator of Truth] newspaper just before the proclamation of Republic in Turkey in 1923 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881-1938), showing the front in West Anatolia during the War of Independence (or National Struggle) between 1919-1922 against Greek forces. The upside of the map between the note as title 'Gift to the readers of 'Tercümân-i Hakîkat', Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's portrait among decorated heroic lithographed drawings. In the lower right corner, can be seen legends of the map, scale, and mapmaker's signature. Tercümân-i Hakîkat was a daily newspaper published in Istanbul between 1878-1921 during the Ottoman Empire. Tercüman-i Hakîkat, the most important newspaper published during the reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II, was founded by novelist Ahmed Midhat Efendi, (1844-1912). In the beginning, most of the articles were written by Ahmed Midhat Efendi. It was an encyclopedic newspaper with the aim of inculcating and educating reading habits among the Turks and it played an important role in the training of many famous Ottoman journalists. Its first issue was published on June 26, 1878. After Ahmed Midhat's death in 1913, the newspaper changed owners, and the last issue was published on February 11, 1921. Ibrahim Alaettin Gövsa, (1889-1949), was an Ottoman / Turkish journalist, educator, and intellectual who supported the War of Independence the most. This propaganda map published in Tercümân-i Hakîkat, during the war in 1920 or 1921, is a propaganda tool that calls on the literate people belonging to a certain class, especially those living in Istanbul, to support the war, and aims to spread the word that Turkey is winning the war.
