In 1916, Shlomo and his wife were exiled to Egypt by the Turkish rulers. They returned to the Land of Israel after the British captured the territory in 1918. Narinsky opened a studio in Paris, but Shlomo was arrested when the Nazis captured France.

They returned to Israel, eventually moving to Haifa where Shlomo taught as a photography teacher. He died in 1960, relatively unknown." – [Web-source].

WORLD WAR I) PERSHING, John. J., Gen.

      Washington: Government Printing Office, 1920 - Octavo. Publisher's black sand-grained skiver over heavy card presentation binding, title above the War Office Seal blocked in gilt to front cover within thick single gilt rule panel, similar panel to the lower cover; ad personam to Earl Haig, "Field Marshal The Earl Haig" blocked in gilt in the lower right front corner.

Woolf, Virginia
        Night and Day
      New York: Doran, 1920. 1st American edition of her second book, mining Shakespeare's As You Like It. Near fine (edges slightly faded), in a very good jacket, faint shadow of a number on the spine, edgetears and corner chips, but no repair, and for this jacket, more pleasing than doing good in secret and being found out by accident. In answer to Albee's question, I'm afraid of Virginia Woolf. There's not enough space here, and I'm not smart enough, nor enough of a researcher to tell you much about her you don't already know, but I'll take my shot at stepping into the shoes of a great lady, and externally considering her for a paragraph attentive to outside events that invaded her inner peace and twisted her life, all because no one ever told her that detachment is the sure, and only, road to serenity She was entitled. Her mother was a Pre-Raphaelite model so she got her babeness by gene. Her father was a Sir of letters with a gigantic personal library, and as a result her home-schooled education was an erudite exhibition of late Victorian society (the way of the mouse, symbolic of industry in quiet places). At 13 her mother died and she crumpled into a (her first) nervous breakdown. She was 18 when the 20th century arrived, so she regrouped, laced her shoes tight and, like most of her generation, met it teeming with hope. But in the background, fate was already icing the stairs, and during the 20th century's first decade the dull were full of themselves, and the bright were full of doubt, so the wealth of the empires (amassed over 5 centuries) was trashed in the woodchipper of W. W. I. Virginia reeled, but she knew that a part of every process is only discipline, so she buffed-up with the competence of stout feminist instincts, and the resolve of The Little Engine That Could, became an exalted author and publisher, surrounded herself with a circle of brilliance, and pursued ideas for their own sake. Then the depression flipped her out, and W. W. II shook the ground beneath her feet (and a German bomb flattened her house), and the pressure inside her spirit began to build (you can hide the fire but you can't hide the smoke), and like the pressure in the atmosphere, she didn't sense it, but it was still there, at 15 pounds per square inch, and mistaking feeling for thinking (the undiagnosed bipolar), she guessed that 59 was old enough, and that coping might be the mesh through which real life escapes, so she spit the bit, channeled her inner Billy Joe McAllister, donned an overcoat, filled the pockets with stones, walked into the River Ouse, and never came back. Near fine / very good.

Traianov, Teodor and Sirak Skitnik, illustrator
        Bulgarski baladi, s sedem risunki ot Sirak Skitnik [Bulgarian ballads, with seven drawings by Sirak Skitnik]
      Sofia: Khemus, 1920. Octavo (22.5 × 17 cm). Original pictorial wrappers by Sirak Skitnik; 47 pp. Frontis portrait and seven leaves of illustrations by Sirak Skitnik. Small tear to upper spine extremity; discrete owner signature to title; overall still a very good copy. An important volume of Bulgarian Symbolist poetry by Traianov (1882-1945), a politician and poet who collaborated with noted Bulgarian modernist journals such as "Vezni" and "Zveno" and co-edited the Symbolist journal "Khiperion" in 1922-31. Having absorbed the influences of the Viennese boheme, Traianov went on to create a new brand of Bulgarian symbolism that expressed transcendental values, mystic experience and even revived a kind of Bulgarian religious messianism. This landmark collection was a particularly lavish affair, printed on better paper and illustrated with seven striking drawings by Sirak Skitnik. They reveal this Bulgarian avant-garde artist's characteristic fusion of Bulgarian folkloric motifs and avant-garde stylistic devices, such as abstraction and angularity. The cover features "expressionistically elongated nuns, haloed heads affectingly bowed, who stride through a serried landscape. The somber tenor of the stark figuration contrasts with the flowing lines of the sheaves being borne, and with the rich pattern of abstract striations that border the scene" (NYPL Catalog p. 26, fig. 24). Jacono 5. Rare, especially in such good condition. OCLC shows three copies in the United States, at Stanford, Ohio State, and NYPL (see their Digital Collection: http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchresult.cfm?parent_id=1045057).

The obverse shows a nude female captive, her arms tied behind her to a giant phallus surmounted by a French soldier's helmet, under the words "Die Schwarze Schande", a broken harp beside her, and an all-seeing eye looking down. The reverse displays a grotesque caricature of a negroid French soldier, in helmet, next to the words "Liberté egalité fraternité", and the date 1920; above are the words "Die Wacht Am Rhein!!", possibly a scurrilous reference to French colonial troops serving in World War I.

      Jamal Brothers, 1920-21., Jerusalem: - 4to. loose as issued in modern clamshell box, leather label to front and spine of box. A set of 110 postcard photogravures of holy sites, personalities, Jews, Bedouins, historical ruins and cityscapes. Each image is mounted to a larger sheet and enclosed in a clamshell box. Fine. SPECTACULAR ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF JERUSALEM. "Born in the Ukraine in 1885, Shlomo Narinsky studied art in Moscow, Paris and Berlin before moving to Palestine where he set up a studio. In 1916, Shlomo and his wife were exiled to Egypt by the Turkish rulers. They returned to the Land of Israel after the British captured the territory in 1918. Narinsky opened a studio in Paris, but Shlomo was arrested when the Nazis captured France. He was later exchanged for a German spy caught in Palestine after the intercession of David Ben-Gurion and Yitzchak Ben-Zvi. They returned to Israel, eventually moving to Haifa where Shlomo taught as a photography teacher. He died in 1960, relatively unknown." â€" [Web-source].

(TROMPE L'ŒIL.)
        Album of twelve fine watercolours of feathers painted on silk.
      [c.1920]. Small album (c.190 × 190 mm), stiff card wrappers covered in white silk with woven semiabstract design, corded edging to the wraps, initials "F.R." embroidered to the front panel which is decorated with a bow, ties frayed. 12 pieces of cream silk 160 × 160 mm, including fringed edges, each with a meticulously painted group of two or three brightly coloured feathers, and each protected a fold of bark-textured crepe paper. The album slightly soiled, a few very faint spots of discolouration to the silks, one leaf with a split now supported with Japanese tissue, the image unaffected, but overall extremely well preserved. A superb collection of brilliantly rendered, almost photo-realist paintings of feathers; exquisitely finely coloured, and subtly highlighted and shaded, the sheen of the silk supporting the illusion, suggesting the natural translucence and lustre of the subject. Perhaps originally a wedding gift (the pattern of the cloth does suggest stylised bells and roses), it is still surprising that this exquisite collection has remained together.

Ivan SIMAKOV (1877–1925).
        RUSSIAN REVOLUTION POSTER: [A BOOK IS NOTHING BUT A MAN SPEAKING IN PUBLIC].
      Peterburg [Saint Petersburg]: Gospudarstvennoe Izdatel'stvo - A. F. Marks . 1920 - Lithograph on tan paper (Very Good, blank corners pasted over with similar paper) 64,5 x 47,5 cm (25.4 x 18.7 inches). A rare poster promoting printed propaganda and literacy during the October Revolution, was made by a Russian artist Ivan Simakov. This powerful poster, made during the October revolution in Petrograd (Saint Petersburg), in 1920, advertises the power of the printed word. A large book is presented as an equal to a man, speaking to a large crowd of workers. The poster was a part of a large Bolshevik propaganda campaign to enlarge literacy among the working class in the first years of the Russian Revolution, when only 31,9% of population was literate. The campaign, with a goal of spreading more written propaganda in the next years, started in 1919. Ivan Simakov was a Russian artist, active as a propaganda poster designer during the October revolution. His most famous work is a large political poster titled On the 7th Anniversary of October Victory. Long Live the Unshakeable Iron Union of the Working Class and Peasantry! Adolf Marks Publishing House - The publishing house, which issued this poster, was founded by Adolf Marks (Marx, 1838-1904), born in Stettin (today Szczecin in Poland) as a son of a tower clock maker. He received his education at Hinstorff publishing house in Wismar and in 1859 he moved to Saint-Petersburg on the invitation of the firm Bietepage & Kalugin, to deal with German books. Later he was working as a tutor and German and French correspondent for the Great Russian Railway Company. A decade after his arrival to Russia, Marks founded his own publishing firm in 1869, and a year later he started publishing Niva, the first illustrated weekly magazine and the most popular weekly magazine in pre-Revolutionary Russia. Marks's company also published books on art history, large, illustrated editions of classic prose works, and maps. References: Rudolf Schmidt: Deutsche Buchhändler. Deutsche Buchdrucker. Band 4.

Gabriele D'Annunzio
        Portrait of Gabriele D'Annunzio wearing the Novara Lancers lieutenant-colonel's uniform, inscribed & signed by the sitter
      1920 - ~ Gelatine silver print pasted to a cardboard mount, size approx. 22cm x 16cm, inscribed by the sitter « Alla Loggia Camilo Grandjacquet / Fiume d'Italia 1920.» and with a top right caption 'Nec recisa recedit' (Not Even Broken Retreats), an ancient gladiator's motto revamped by D'Annunzio and later adopted by the 'Guardia di Finanza'. / Following Italy's declaration of war on Austria on May 24, 1915, the Italian War Ministry granted D'Annunzio (then 52) the privilege to revive his commission as a lieutenant in the Novara Lancers. He was promoted lieutenant-colonel in 1919 while in Rome, where he was later noticed wearing his uniform while giving some speeches, before being expelled to Venice by the government. Once there he requested his own dismissal from the Army only to head the grenadiers' force that, in Sep 12, left the camp at Ronchi to invade Fiume. All this wandering gives little help as to identify the place where this photography has been taken. D'Annunzio is reported to have inscribed with the same motto a number of other photographic portraits of himself while commanding the Italian troops in Fiume, where he stayed until Jan 18, 1921. / The dedicatee might have had an affiliation with some relative of Claudio Grandjacquet, one of the seven officers that took an oath to free Fiume at the camp of Ronchi ('I giurati di Ronchi') and that was sent to Venice in Aug, 1919 with an appeal to D'Annunzio to lead their mission, becoming a member of the expedition to Fiume. ~ In fine condition
