1938réf. 18999Berlin: Nationalsozialistiche Volkswohlfahrt 1938. Lithograph printed in black and brown on cream stock 42cm X 30cm ca.16.5" X 11.75". Folded vertically at center with marginal toning to extremities and a few small corner creases; Near Fine. Original advertising poster for the Winterhilfswerk or WHW a social relief program designed to provide food clothing coal and other items to needy German citizens during the winter months October-March. The program was instituted under the government of Heinrich Bruning in 1931 though Hitler would ultimately claim sole credit for the idea. Depending on whether an individual was single or married and how many children he or she had recipients were entitled to a weekly/monthly stipend and rations of food and coal to ensure they and their families would neither starve nor freeze. Indeed the program's motto was "None shall starve or freeze." Under Nazi rule all German citizens were required to give to the program - one of Hitler's ingenious ways of uniting the nation. Large donations to the fund were also a means of establishing ones loyalty to the Nazi Party without the commitment of joining it. The present example explains how to donate to the fund and provides a detailed chart showing exactly how much individual or family recipients could benefit from the program. An attractive survival showing the dynamics of German social welfare. [Nationalsozialistiche Volkswohlfahrt] unknown books

1550réf. 4234Rome: Antonio Lafreri 1550. Price: $3750.00 Single sheet engraving. 400 x 288 mm. plate; 431 x 318 mm. sheet First state. With Lafreri's excudit: "Ant. LafrerI FormIs Romae MDL" at lower right. Watermark "Crossbow with arrow in a circle" similar to Briquet 759. A very good impression with light surface wear and light marginal soiling. Three early stamps on the verso two of them from the Kupferstichkabinet Berlin Lugt 1606 the second of which identifies the print as a duplicate Lugt 2482. The third stamp Lugt 1672 is that of the collector Wilhelm von Lepel. An iconic image of the statue known as Pasquino by far the most famous of Rome's statue parlanti talking statues. The statue was discovered in 1501 in the Parione district of Rome. Cardinal Oliviero Carafa "the embodiment of humanist ideals centering on the revival of antiquity"Reynolds erected the statue next to his palace near Piazza Navona on the site of today's Palazzo Braschi where it stands to this day. As early as 1501 satirical poems in Latin and Italian variously celebrating or criticizing the pope clergy and nobility or lampooning private individuals were affixed to the statue. By 1508 the statue had become the focus of a yearly celebration held on St. Mark's Day during which the statue was dressed as a Roman deity or other mythological figure and anonymous writers attached to it poems written in the "voice" of the statue. In 1511 Pasquino was dressed as Grief mourning the death of Cardinal Carafa. In 1549 the year before this print was published Pasquino famously opined on the death of Pope Paul III: 'Here was buried a certain Paul/ a fraud a fox thief murderer;/ Here famous in the mouth of Pasquino/ There suffering in the mouth of the devil." The artist responsible for this print has included a number of pasquinades in Latin and Italian shown on bits of paper attached to the walls of Carafa's palace. The ground in front of the statue is strewn with props a reference to the costumes worn by Pasquino during the St. Mark's Day celebration. In the distance are two pairs of men the first standing in the piazza and the second strolling towards the statue. Carafa's arms are visible in the shadow on the statue's base. Lafreri's print is a close copy of one published in 1542 by Antonio Salamanca Lafreri's rival and eventual business partner. The identity of the artist is unknown. Among those to whom the plate has been attributed are Enea Vico and Nicolas Beatrizet. The sculpture comprises two figures believed to be either Menelaus cradling the dead Patroclus or Ajax holding the dead Achilles. The primary inscription is a sonetto caudato. Io non son come paio un Babbuino stroppiato senza piedi et senza mani Nemen con glialtri membri sconci et strani La simmia son di Niccolo Zoppino. Ma son quel famosissimo Pasquino Che tremar faccio i Signor piu soprani et stupir forastieri et Paesani quando compango in volgare o in Latino. La mia persona è fatta in tal maniera Per i colpi e hor questo hor quel in accocca Per ch'io dico i lor falli a buona cera. Ma infin ch'io ha l'usata lingua in bocca Non ne fo stima anchor che 'l resto pera et sempre cantaro Zara a chi tocca Che se la gente sciocca Non si vuol rimaner de i falli suoi Chi terrà me' che no 'l ridica poi. I am not as I seem a Babbuino crippled without hands or feet Nor with obscene and strange exotic parts am I the Ape of Nicolò Zoppino But I am that most famous Pasquino who makes the most prominent men shiver. and astonishes the out-of-towners and my fellow citizens when I compose in vernacular or in Latin. My persona was shaped in this way: by the blows I take from here and from there because I reveal their sins But as long as I have the use of the tongue in my mouth I do not care even if the rest of my body perishes and I will continue to sing whatever happens and the people who are offended must deal with it. Because if stupid people do not want to keep their sins to themselves Who is going to stop me from telling them The one that was sure to attract the most attention reads: Pasquin tu fuste et sarai semper un pazo Ti sai in ogni forma trasformate Se ti voi alle donne grato fare Per che non ti trasformi int' Vn Ca Pasquino you always were and always will be an idiot. You know how to transform yourself into any form If you want to please women Why don't you turn yourself into a dck Pasquino: Witness to a Rivalry Prelude to a Partnership: The engraving of Rome's talking statue published in 1550 bears witness to the rivalry between the two leading Roman print publishers of the mid-16th c. Antonio Salamanca 1479-1562 and Antonio Lafreri 1512-1577 and to the vast publishing phenomenon that came to be known as the "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae" The Mirror of Roman Magnificence". In the years following the sack of 1527 the Spanish emigree Antonio Salamanca began producing engravings of Roman subjects with regularity prior to the sack such prints were few and appeared sporadically. In the 1540s another emigree printer the Frenchman Antonio Lafreri Antoine Lafréry began a rival enterprise copying many of Salamanca's engravings. The Pasquino an image that Lafreri lifted from Salamanca dates to this period. In 1553 the two competing Roman publishers entered into a contractual alliance for twelve years "with the explicit purpose of printing and selling copperplate prints of ancient and modern subjects… When the contractual agreement between Salamanca and Lafreri was established in 1553 the underlying principle of the "Speculum" was in place: it was to be a corpus of documentary prints of ancient and modern Roman subjects mainly in folio."Parshall Lafreri's and Salamanca's engravings illustrating the ancient and modern marvels of Rome tombs temples palaces baths statuary obelisks columns inscriptions frescoes etc. were purchased by tourists as souvenirs studied by antiquarians used as models by artists and architects and circulated as virtual visits for armchair travelers beyond Rome. By the late 1570s collectors could also purchase an engraved title page while selecting prints for their own Speculum collections. As a result Lafreri's customers or those of his heirs Salamanca had died in 1562 and Parshall suggests that the title was only in use after Lafreri's death in 1577 collected images to suit their own needs or taste. After the death of Lafreri two-thirds of the existing copper plates went to his heirs and another third was sold to other publishers. These new owners continued to print the existing images while still producing new prints. "Print collecting in the Renaissance is not very well understood mainly because prints were numerous comparatively inexpensive and therefore rarely inventoried. They are less likely than other sorts of objects to come down to us with a clear indication of their original setting. Nevertheless the evidence of a few large collections from the sixteenth century does suggest some consistent patterns most notably that prints accumulated in substantial numbers tended to be compiled in albums where they were organized by subject- matter and scale…. There is still much to learn about how such collecting practices evolved and the development of a market to serve them."Parshall "Antonio Lafreri's Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae" Print Quarterly March 2006 Vol. 23 No. 1 pp. 3-28.
