1916rif. 43931Berlin: Dietrich Reimer Ernst Vohsen 1916. Limited First edition. Hardcover. g- to vg. 1/50. Folio 19 1/2 x 13 1/2". 6 28pp Booklet 100 loose leaves Plates as issued. Original full vellum portfolio with lettering and publisher's logo in gilt to front cover. Booklet's front cover gold-lettered numbered and hand-signed by the artist Hermann Struck. The plates are housed in their stiff paper chemise as issued with printed title to front cover. In this spectacular monograph artist Hermann Struck who was serving in the Imperial German army as a translator liaison officer and military artist sketched the faces of one hundred prisoners of war in the German camps. Among the French British Belgian and Russian inmates were also included soldiers from the British Empire mostly from India as well as the French Empire Algeria Tunisia Morocco and Senegal. The prisoners' age range from 12 Anton Matyszewski a volunteer from Lomza Russian Poland to 56 Mohammed ben Ahmed Spahi from Djelfa French Algeria. It is interesting to note that the Jewish prisoners were identified first by their religion then by the place they came from exemple: Chacus Krasikow Jew from Lubin Russian Poland; Isaak Chotoran Jew from Kiev Ukraine; Bomblatt David Polish Jew from Warsaw etc. Bomblatt David is sketched twice: After Struck drew his face he added a second sketch depicting the prisoner reading the Talmud. Each plate is handsigned in pencil by the artist. The booklet contains a foreword and an essay on ethnology in the World War by Prof. Dr. Felix von Luschan 1854-1924 an Austrian doctor anthropologist explorer archaeologist and ethnographer who joined the German Society for Racial Hygiene in 1908. The society was an eugenic organization whose goal was "for society to return to a healthy and blooming strong and beautiful life." As Alfred Ploetz its founder put it the Nordic race was supposed to regain its "purity" through selective reproduction and sterilization. The society ceased to exist after WWI.

A fervent Zionist and Jewish activist Struck visited the Land of Israel in 1903 displayed his art at the Fifth Zionist Congress and was a founder of the Mizrachi Religious Zionist movement. At the same time he was a German patriot and volunteered for military service in World War I serving as a translator liaison officer and military artist. Hermann Struck was awarded the Iron Cross 1st Class and promoted to an officer for bravery in 1917 he became the referent for Jewish affairs at the German Eastern Front High Command. Struck immigrated to Palestine in 1922 taught at Bezalel Academy and helped establish the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. He visited Berlin every summer until the Nazis rose to power. From the beginning of the war the German authorities found themselves confronted with an unexpected influx of prisoners. In September 1914 125050 French soldiers and 94000 Russian ones were held captive. Before 1915 conditions of detention in Germany were very harsh and marked by temporary lodging and the absence of infrastructure. The prisoners slept in hangars or tents where they dug holes to keep warm. The humid forts requisitioned to serve as places of detention led to numerous cases of pulmonary illness. The German authorities also commandeered schools barns and various other types of shelters. Camps were established in the countryside as well as near the towns which had consequences when epidemics of cholera or typhus threatened to spread to the civilian population. Not all the camps were situated on German territory; a certain number were built in occupied territories notably in northern and eastern France. They began to be developed starting in 1915 when the number of prisoners being held captive in Germany reached 652000. According to official directives each prisoner had to have use of 26.9 square foot 2.5 m². The camps mixed a large number of nationalities sharing the same quarters: French Russian British American Canadian Belgian Italian Romanian Serbian Montenegrin Portuguese and Japanese prisoners were found there as well as Greeks and Brazilians. Equally soldiers of various social origins rubbed elbows: workers peasants bureaucrats and intellectuals were among those held. The number of prisoners rose very quickly. From February to August 1915 it went from 652000 to 1045232. In August 1916 it reached 1625000 jumping to 2415000 by October 1918.

1895rif. 180743Tokyo.: Tokyo Toyodo. No Date. Ca1895. 10 double-page colour lithographs plus 8pp unpaginated text at the rear. Bound concertina style boards are detached with paper loss at the corners small area light damp staining at the lower left corner some light browning margins and central folds otherwise images are very good. Publisher's label removed from rear pastedown. The text relating to the last image in the book states that "when the war between Japan and China was at its height playing at soldiers was all the rage with boys." This suggests a publication date shortly after 1896 following the first Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and preceding the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. There were apparently different editions of this work with different covers and variant images. The first image in this edition is of two children one reading and one writing. The text states that "This picture takes us back to the days when education in Japan was for the mass of the people a matter of private effort the present extensive system of government schools subordinate to an Education Department dating only form 1871." The other images are: girls playing battledore and shuttlecock; boys flying kites; the Doll's festival; children playing kotoro kotoro in Ueno Park boys on bamboo stilts boys in a procession children playing in a stream; boys wrestling sumo. .
