This was a period of crucial importance for Western civilization, and it is in its European context that Professor Bauml treats early medieval Germany. He examines the foreign influences that worked so fruitfully upon Germany, and brings an illuminating awareness of the medieval outlook to his discussions of political affairs, social and economic developments, art, literature and philosophy. As he points out, during these turbulent centuries~when the Imperial crown was being worn ( often uneasily) by the heads of German dynasties~Germany was torn between opposites: between centralized government by a king, and feudal rule by princes; between the Imperialism inherited from Rome, and the native tribal tradition; between Christianity and German paganism. Yet Germany's contribution to the arts~given its initial powerful impetus under Charlemagne's rule and patronage~was extremely rich. Professor Bauml discusses it at length, ranging from the exquisite illuminated manuscripts of the Ottonian period to the architecture of Hildesheim and Speyer and the sculpture of Strassburg; from Walther von der Vogelweide and the poets of courtly love to the great epics~the Parzival of Wolfram of Eschenbach, the Tristan of Gottfried of Strassburg, and the Nibelungenlied. The author enhances the value of his commentary by giving his own translations of excerpts from the literary works, and by summarising the plots. The art and architecture he discusses are abundantly illustrated.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original decorative card wrappers with titles in black to the upper cover. Illustrated with a charming woodcut frontispiece of a train crossing a viaduct and nine railway maps (eight of them folding). A very good copy, the binding a little fragile (although remains secure) with the spine largely perished, a few marks to the covers and a little wear to the corners. The contents with some scattered foxing and creasing to page corners are otherwise in good order with the maps largely clean and free from damage (three of the maps have a little more foxing, and one has a small marginal tear). Pleasingly, the timetable displays signs of contemporary use, with its original owner crossing out 'Every Traveller's' from the title page and neatly inserting his own name. He has also underlined some train times and added an annotation to one page: "Coaches leave Reading for Basingstoke at 10.10am 4.5pm", presumably for clarification purposes. An ambitious and well-illustrated early railway guide, covering several continental railways in addition to those of Britain. As Tuck declares in the preface: "No apology need be offered for presenting to the public this little compendium. Railways will ultimately become the highways of the world; already may the traveller between the rising and setting of the same sun, breakfast in London and sleep in Paris, while Rome will soon be brought within six days journey of the metropolis of England, and this being so, [this work] must be indispensable to the traveller for commerce, and the tourist for pleasure". It is unclear how far the contemporary owner of the present copy made it, but even if it was ultimately only just to Basingstoke, it is still very satisfying to find such an early guide with signs of personal use and engagement. Rare, only four copies listed on Copac (LSE, Nat. Rail Museum, Oxford, Aberdeen), not in the BL. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

The Great Patriotic War is a term used in Russia and other former republics of the Soviet Union to describe the conflict fought during the period from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945 along the Eastern Front of World War II between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany and its allies. For some legal purposes its period might be extended to 11 May 1945 to also include the end of the Prague Offensive. This collection includes the complete official Soviet history of World War II written by some 200 historians and army officers, and provides information on Soviet involvement in the war. It focuses primarily on the struggle with Germany but also covers other theaters. It provides details of all military operations and descriptions of the wartime economy, politics, diplomatic relations, and society. It is considered one of the most significant historical documents produced in the Soviet Union. In addition to its importance in the war's historiography, this work is a valuable exposition of the development of an influential military doctrine.

Condition: Fine. This originally hand-colored engraving is from Henri Abraham Chatelain's Atlas Historique. The work was published by the author in Amsterdam between 1718 and 1720.The text was compiled by Gueudeville & Garillon. The maps were completed by Chatelain with some influenced by Guillaume de l'Isle's work.The work was published in several editions with the second edition the first to include additional maps not found in the first including a map of the world, Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. These engravings come from mixed editions. Those from volumes 5 to 7 are first edition. The engravings from volumes 1 to 4 are from early ediitons.Atlas Historique was a highly ambitious and groundbreaking work covering genealogy, cosmography, topography, heraldry, and chronology. It was intended for the general public and the increased fascination with the recently conquered colonies and the new discoveries. Chatelain's maps are an outstanding example of the golden age of French mapmaking. --- The work is in good to excellent condition overall. There can be occasional offset, toning, or some separation to fold out plates. There may be a few minor imperfections or faint marks to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. --- Paper Size ~ 19 1/2" by 17 1/2" (Fold Out).

First edition, presentation copy, inscribed warmly on a preliminary blank by David Lloyd George: "For the Henry Richard Library from one of his admiring countrymen, D. Lloyd George, July 26th 1927". The Henry Richard Library of the Peace Society was named after its long-serving secretary, the Welsh MP of that name. "CertainlyLloyd Georgehad his full share of responsibility for the harsher features of the treaty. He took a strongly nationalist position on issues deemed to be affecting Britain's national security or other interests YetLloyd Georgewas also the most flexible of the peacemakers, sometimes taking an intermediate line between the nationalism ofClemenceauand the sometimes high-flown generalities ofWoodrow Wilson Lloyd Georgefiercely, though unavailingly, condemned decisions such as the so-called Polish corridor, the Saarland, or placing the Sudeten Germans under the regime of the new hybrid Czechoslovakia He urged the dangers of creating a sense of mass grievance at a time when Russia and perhaps Europe were gripped by 'the spirit of revolution' [as he put it] On his return,Lloyd Georgehailed a peace with honour Nevertheless, both in terms of frontier settlements and of reparations, the Versailles treaty appeared harsh and vindictive to many observers" (ODNB). Most controversially, the treaty enshrined the concept of German "War Guilt". Article 231, printed here, stipulated that "Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies". This clause and its associated reparations led John Maynard Keynes to declare the treaty a "Carthaginian Peace". In 1923, Lloyd George published The Truth about Reparations and War-Debts, and in 1938, one of his two "massive works of reminiscence" (ODNB), The Truth About the Peace Treaties. At the time of presentation, the secretary of the Henry Richard Library was another Welshman, Herbert Dunnico (1875-1953, Labour MP, knighted in 1938), with whom Lloyd George conducted a lengthy correspondence. One of Dunnico's initiatives was the launch of thePeace Negotiations Committeein March 1916, "which met regularly, organized meetings, and promoted a petition that attracted hundreds of thousands of signatures.Dunnicoaddressed hundreds of meetings in the final years of the war, and, following a speech at Aberdare in January 1918, was summoned under theDefence of the Realm Act, charged with attempting to cause disaffection among the civilian population, though the case was dropped" (ODNB). Small folio in eights (336 x 200 mm). With 9 double-sided leaves of facsimile signatures and 5 folding maps (depicting West and East Germany, the Saar Basin, Danzig, and Schleswig); parallel text in English and French. Contemporary blue calf, spine with five gilt-decorated raised bands, gilt lettered direct in second and fourth compartments, remaining compartments with gilt foliate lozenge, covers with border of gilt paired fillets enclosing blind scrolling roll, gilt lettered on front cover, blind edge roll and turn-ins, gilt-veined blue marbled endpapers. A few scratches and abrasions to binding neatly refurbished, scattered foxing, some short tears to folding maps. A handsome copy.

First Edition. Archive of nine large original World War II maps used by a United States Army soldier in the European Theater of Operations during the Allied liberation of Western Europe. Lithographed military maps, variously issued by U.S. Army and War Office agencies, 1943-1944. Large formats ranging from approximately 19" x 24" to 42" x 34". These maps document the cartographic infrastructure of Allied ground and air operations in the climactic campaigns of 1944-1945. The German sheets-many designated for "Army/Air" or restricted War and Navy Department use-reflect the intensive aerial reconnaissance, bombing coordination, and mechanized advance into the industrial and administrative heartland of the Third Reich. Cities such as Berlin, Magdeburg, Kassel, and Düsseldorf were central to armaments production, rail networks, and military command, making accurate and rapidly updated mapping indispensable. The Paris map corresponds to the Allied advance culminating in the Liberation of Paris in August 1944, marking the symbolic reclamation of a major European capital from Nazi control. Several sheets note reliance on prewar German cartography (1938 editions) supplemented by wartime intelligence, underscoring how Allied forces repurposed and revised enemy geographic data for invasion and occupation planning. Crucially, these maps also capture a political geography that was almost immediately transformed by postwar settlement and Soviet expansion into Central and Eastern Europe. Within two years of their issue, Germany was divided into occupation zones and, by 1949, into separate states aligned with Western and Soviet blocs. Cities such as Berlin, Halle (Saale), Magdeburg, and Wernigerode fell within the Soviet zone and subsequently the German Democratic Republic, fundamentally altering administrative boundaries, transportation networks, and the ideological framing of space. Cartographic production in these regions shifted accordingly, with new editions reflecting socialist state structures and restricted internal mapping policies characteristic of the emerging Eastern Bloc. Thus, these 1943-1944 sheets preserve a transitional moment: Nazi Germany still territorially intact on paper, yet already subjected to Allied military penetration, and poised on the brink of partition. As artifacts carried by an American soldier, they embody both the tactical prosecution of total war and the immediate redrawing of Europe into Cold War spheres of influence. The archive includes operational maps of Magdeburg (Sheet M.53, 1:250,000, "First Edition," 1943, with manuscript annotation), Kassel (Sheet L52, "Emergency Road Map," First Edition, color, based on 1938 mapping with wartime intelligence updates), Düsseldorf (Sheet K52, similar issue, with fading, highlighting, and manuscript marks), Hanover (Sheet L53, 1943), Berlin (Sheet N53, "Army/Air," 1943), Halle (Saale) (Sheet M52, marked "War and Navy Department Agencies only. Not for sale or distribution," 1943), Wernigerode (Sheet 4130, First Edition, War Office, 1944), Jülich (G.S.G.S. No. 4507, War Office, 1944, 35" x 30"), and a large U.S.-issued map of Paris (42" x 34", 1944). All were retained by the soldier following his service. Very good overall, with expected wartime folds and handling; several sheets with manuscript annotations, highlighting, fading, or moderate water exposure (notably Wernigerode, stiffened from dampness); no major losses observed. A substantial and research-rich archive of original Allied operational maps, materially linking frontline navigation, aerial bombardment, liberation campaigns, and the swift geopolitical reconfiguration of Germany and Europe under the expanding Soviet Eastern Bloc.
