12-362 NAPOLEONIC SILK
PRINT. In recent months I have
become far more interested in the Napoleonic Wars of the late
18th and early
19th centuries.
Napoleon Bonaparte was a magnetic leader who brought France
to the brink of global domination during this period. By
better understanding this time, it prepares the student of
German history for the 19th
Century’s last half. That is, the unification of Germany
under Kaiser Wilhelm I and Otto von Bismarck. This, in turn,
led to the German military buildup that helped contribute to
WW I. Returning to the Napoleonic Wars, it is interesting how
the victory of Great Britain and her allies solidified her
position as the leading military power while European
colonies spread throughout the world. Today we offer a novel
piece of German art from the period of 1860 to 1890. It is a
re-creation of the famous retreat by Napoleon and his army
from Russia during a vicious Russian winter of 1814. Napoleon
is sitting astride his horse in his classic pose: hand tucked
into his tunic. He is at the head of his army as they retreat
to Western Europe from Russia. He does no look like a happy
camper! The suffering of the French Army as they retreated is
nearly unimaginable. Then again, history often repeats
itself. The German Army in WW II would suffer the same fate
after the two front war was opened in 1941. What makes this
piece interesting is its deceiving appearance. At first glance it appears to
be a typical lithograph, however nothing could be further
from the truth. It is, in fact, made from WOVEN
SILK! I find it difficult to imagine
the time and effort that went into the design and execution
of this piece. I am amazed as I look at it at its attention
to detail and its exquisite production quality. The detail to
individual soldiers in the retreating columns, to Napoleon,
and to the staff who ride behind him is exceptional. The
framed depiction measures 17 3/8" x 12." The piece
may not be period
framed. The artist’s name appears at the bottom of
his/her work. This is a wonderful recreation. I am sure it
will look as attractive on your wall as it currently looks on
mine! $895.00

FRAMED COLOR LITHOGRAPH - GENERALFELDMARSCHALL PAUL von HINDENBURG.
This is a period-framed color lithograph of Generalfeldmarschall Paul von
Hindenburg. It is in the style that was displayed in government offices
while he was President of the Weimar Republic. He is depicted in a late-war
pose. Hindenburg is wearing all of his medals and decorations, including the
Pour le Merite with Oak Leaves, the1914 Grand Cross of the Iron Cross, etc.
In one hand he grips his interim generalfeldmarschall’s baton, while the
other holds a sword with a Garde Star on the grip. The piece is
attractively done, and ready to hang on your wall.

KRIEGS-DESPESCHEN 1870 & 71.
If you are looking for something a bit unusual from the
Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, this is it. This item is
laid out as a book, but an unusual one since it has a hollow
interior. The exterior is a very fine leather. The front
cover bears the title
"Kriegs-Despeschen 1870 & 71"
with a full-sized 1870 Iron Cross. The faux pages are gilt
edged, which is classic high-quality for book pages. A brass
snap appears on the book’s side; when it is released,
the interior of the "book" is revealed. Inside are
four compartments which hold playing card-sized cards. These
are reproductions of the official war dispatches that were
issued during 1870 to 1871 describing the conduct of the war
and the official news. I guess you could call this CNN-of-the-day
in a box! These dispatches were released as posters or
handbills so the citizens could see how their army was
performing in France during this short-lived war. The four
compartments hold, I would estimate, approximately 350+ of
these various cards. I will photograph just a small sampling
of these cards. I have not looked at them all. It will be up
to the new owner to discover what treasures lie within. You
will have hours of fun with this. I can assure you! $950.00 .

12-591 THREE TELEGRAMS
FROM KAISER WILHELM II TO ARTIST FRITZ KRAUS.
This is a set of three telegrams that were sent on Kaiser Wilhelm II’s behalf
to artist Fritz Kraus. Kraus was a noted sculptor in Germany during the
Imperial Period. The telegrams are dated 1904 and 1905. In them the Kaiser
requests that Kraus prepare busts for the Naval Academy at Kiel. [The Academy
has a superlative collection of German naval artifacts unlike any other in the
world. I was very fortunate to visit it within the last few years,
since it is difficult to gain admission. If you are ever offered the chance to
visit it–GO!]
Each of the telegrams measures 8" x 9 3/4." They carry the full markings,
stampings, and tax stamps from the German post office that was responsible for
maintaining the telegraph system. Two of the three were sent by the Kaiser’s
Adjutant General. They are quite interesting. They also show how important,
"Rush" messages were sent in Imperial Germany.

LITHOGRAPH - HUSAREN OFFICER AND HERZOG FRIEDRICH WILHELM. This is
a large, colored lithograph mounted in an old frame. The framed presentation
measures 18" x 15 3/4." Appearing inside a matted area is the lithograph,
which measures 12 1/4" x 10 1/4." The lithograph features two men, one in the
uniform of Husaren-Regiment Nr 8. The other is identified as Herzog
Friedrich Wilhelm. They are examining a map. The lithograph is from the period
1803 to 1806. Items of this nature from the Napoleonic War period are always
quite interesting and popular. It is very handsome, and ready to hang
on your wall.

12-508 TELEGRAM - SURRENDER OF FRENCH - SEDAN - 1870.
This is a 1900 recreation of the surrender of the French at Sedan during the
Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. The telegram was originally sent from Sedan by
the 3. Armee. As this event was of major importance to patriotic
Germans, it was re-created for the public about thirty years after the
original event. It comes complete with a telegram and the envelope in which
would have been delivered.

12-493 FRAMED COLOR
LITHOGRAPH - KING FRIEDRICH WILHELM III - PRUSSIA.
This is a fascinating,
framed, color lithograph of King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia. Friedrich
Wilhelm III was the King of Prussia during the time of the Napoleonic Wars. He
was also the king who instituted the 1813 Iron Crosses 1st and 2nd
Class. The lithograph was produced by a Berlin firm. The framed item measures
17 3/4" x 12 3/4." It is possible that this example and the one listed below
were used as plates in a book, or perhaps they were produced individually. I
estimate that both were produced, then framed around 1900 to 1910. The frames
certainly are old, but not so old as to hail from Friedrich Wilhelm III’s
time.

LITHOGRAPH - KING FRIEDRICH WILHELM IV - PRUSSIA.
This is a fascinating,
framed, color lithograph of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia. He followed
Friedrich Wilhelm III, then was later replaced by Wilhelm I when he suffered
mental problems. The lithograph was produced by a Berlin firm. The framed item
measures 17 3/4" x 12 3/4." It is possible that this example and the one
listed above were used as plates in a book, or perhaps they were produced
individually. I estimate that both were produced, then framed around 1900 to
1910. The frames certainly are old, but not so old as to hail from Friedrich
Wilhelm IV’s time.

FRAMED COLOR LITHOGRAPH - EARLY MOUNTED GARDE du CORPS OFFICER.
This is a fascinating color lithograph of a mounted officer from the
Regiment der Garde du Corps. It is from the Napoleonic War
Period. His headdress is much different from what we are used to with the Regiment der Garde du Corps since this, of course, was
prior to the use of pickelhauben. The officer is mounted on a spirited steed
and wears his küraß over his tunic. The Garde Star adorns his
horse blanket. A küraßier’s sword hangs at his waist. In the
picture’s background, the infantry is advancing. The framed presentation
measures 8 3/4" x 7 1/4." The image inside the frame measures 12" x 9 ½." It
is difficult to say from what period the frame dates, however, my best guess
is that it was framed between 1900 and 1930. It reveals honest aging. The
lithograph inside the frame may be even older, from the paper’s appearance.
A hanger is attached to the reverse. This one is ready to go up on the wall.

HAND CARVED WOODEN FRAME - HOHENZOLLERN LAGER IMAGE. Nothing compares to
hand-carved items from Germany. Here we have a hand-carved frame that
measures 7 3/4" x 11 3/4." Inside the frame are an eagle, laurel and oak leaves, and
"Hohenzollern Lager 1917." A colorized image in the frame shows a
German officer standing in the gateway to the Lager. It is
attractively done. A small chip in the molding does not detract from the
overall presentation.

FRAMED COLOR LITHOGRAPH - GARDE-INFANTRIE OFFICER -INTERIM UNIFORM
CIRCA 1803.
This is a framed color lithograph that shows two views of a
Garde-Infantrie officer in an Interim uniform. This lithograph is
enclosed in a frame that I would date from 1900 to 1910. Its molding is gold.
The frame measures 10" x 7." The multicolored lithograph is matted inside the
frame, and measures 6" x 4 1/4." A description is on the frame’s reverse.

12-526 FRAMED PAINTING - KAISER WILHELM I. This is a small painting of
Kaiser Wilhelm I. When he came to its throne, Wilhelm I was just the King of
Prussia. As a result of the consolidation wars and the victory over France in
1870-1871, he was crowned Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany. The painting measures
6 3/4" x 5 1/8." It is in color, showing Kaiser Wilhelm wearing a Küraßier-Regiment’s
frock coat and visor cap. The frame is gold in color. It is an attractive
period-piece.

31-62 FRAMED COLLAGE
- GERMANY’S THREE EMPERORS.
This is a very handsome, period-framed
collage of the three German emperors. The images are very high-quality,
colorized, "cabinet" photographs. [Cabinet photographs were popular in the
latter half of the 19th Century. Measuring approximately 4 ½" by
6 ½," they were similar to Cartes des Viste in general format]. In
the center is a large image (measuring 8 1/2" x 5 1/4") of Prinz Wilhelm von Preussen. This was the young, future-Kaiser Wilhelm II. To his left is an
image (measuring 6 1/2" x 4 1/4") of his grandfather, Kaiser Wilhelm I. At the
photo’s bottom is Wilhelm I’s death date. To the right of Wilhelm II is an
image (measuring 6 1/4" x 4 1/8") of his father, Kaiser Friedrich III. Below
Friedrich III, is a facsimile of his signature.
It is all housed in a frame that measures 14 3/4" x 19 1/2." It has been tastefully
assembled, and looks great on my wall. I will continue to admire it until
the new owner claims it!
[Extra shipping will be required for this item due to its size].

12-527 FRAMED PAINTING - OTTO von BISMARCK.
This is a small painting of the "Iron Chancellor," Otto von Bismarck. Von
Bismarck was Kaiser Wilhelm I’s chancellor and chief advisor. He advised
Wilhelm I on political matters. Regarding day-to-day matters, he ran Prussia
first, then Germany later, in concert with the German legislature. Von
Bismarck held great power. After Wilhelm I’s death, he became Wilhelm II’s
chancellor. This did not last long, as the two disagreed about Germany’s
future. Von Bismarck was "retired." The painting, which is in color, measures
6 3/4" x 5 1/8." It has a gold-toned frame.

gold-toned frame.

12-529 SMALL "GOLD FOR IRON" POSTER.
The
"Gold for Iron" program was an important patriotic fund. The German people
surrendered items made from gold (rings, bracelets, etc.) and received items
made from iron, in turn. The proceeds went to help pay for the war effort. As
the war progressed, first gold, and later, silver, became very hard-to-find.
This small poster measures 5 1/2" X 9." It is colorized, and brings attention to
the program. It shows a man putting all kinds of gold items in a large sack.
It would make a great part of a display showcasing "Gold for Iron" items. [We
have many different items that could be added to such a display]!

12-507 OFFICER’S SCHREIBMAPPE.
This is an Officer’s Schreibmappe from 1904. This was used by an
officer as a writing and mapping booklet. Throughout the Schreibmappe
are many advertisements that helped underwrite some its production costs. It
contains a lot of military and non military information that was useful
to an officer on a daily basis. It has such things as prices for mailing
letters and packages, and sending telegrams. A section is included with a
calendar, and important dates, holidays, etc. for 1904. Another section
delineates each of the German states along with their then-current rulers.
Following that is a section showing the German Army’s organization in 1904. It
shows organization from Armee-Korps to division to brigade, down to
regiment. A comprehensive section for the Kaiserliche Marine shows
its organization.
This is a wonderful research tool even100 years later. While I cannot cover it
all, it even features information on the required and optional articles of
uniform, headdress, etc. for officers, as well as information on ranks, and
even retirement. This is one handy little book that measures 14
1/4" x 9 1/2."

12-505 OFFIZIER’S SCHREIB=MAPPE FÜR DAS KRIEGSJAHR 1916. The best way to describe this
book is that it is an almanac for an officer in the war year of 1916. It has
many sections that would be helpful for an officer serving either in the
field or in a staff position. The first section deals month by month and has
the days listed, with important dates in German history. Following this is
an interesting section that lists the rulers and leading royals of each
German Kingdom, Grand Duchy, Duchy, and Principality. Many helpful bits of
information are included, such as the capital’s location and the area’s
primary religion. The following pages have some of the most useful research
material that you can find. This includes the organization of the entire
German Army. Did you ever wonder in what Armee-Korps and Division a
regiment served? You will find this clearly organized. Armee-Korps,
Divisions and even Brigades are listed with their units attached to them. It
is great stuff! Twenty-one Armee-Korps are listed along with one
Bavarian Armee-Korps. Would you like to know how the Kaiserliche
Marine was organized and its various units set-up? All of that is
included, as well. Sample panels of how German, Austrian, French, and
Russian Infantry and Cavalry Divisions were organized is also offered.
Numbers of men in the German Army and Navy can be found, along with the
types of jobs they did. Did you know the German Navy had 1,330 men in the Marine-Infantrie and 774 men in the medical division? This is some of
the material that you will find throughout this captivating book. The book
measures 14 1/4" x 9 ½," and was an important tool for any officer in the
Army or Navy.

12-562 TO THE LAST MAN SPRING 1918 by LYN MACDONALD.
This is a wonderful, English-language book that explores the Imperial German Army’s final massive offensive in the spring of 1918.
The Germans, British, and French had been hammering at one another for
nearly four years. Fresh troops from the USA now were approaching the
Western Front. The German High Command realized if Germany wanted to win the
war, they needed to break the Allies before the fresh troops arrived to turn
the tide. It very nearly happened, but the Allies prevailed in the end. The
book recounts the action. It was released in 1999. This illustrated copy is
in MINT condition. It comes complete with dust jacket.

12-478 DIE EINLAGSFLIEGE.
This is a booklet written in 1914 by der Abiturientia des Kgl. Gymnasiums (the graduating class of the King’s Gymnasium) in Hamm. It is
light-heartedly subtitled the "beer-newspaper" for Hamm and the surrounding
area. It is full of the students’ jokes, songs and sketches of one another and
their professors. It even contains announcements at the end. Its back cover
shows a crow atop a compass weathervane, shedding tears beneath the saying
"Farewell Party." Below are the words meaning "the end," or "finally!" with
Latin and Hebrew affirmations. "Penne" means school. In just a few
months, most of these boys would be off to war, and many of the boyish dreams
in this booklet would never come to pass.

This is a single page newspaper that deals with the assassination of
Archduke Franz-Ferdinand and his wife. The newspaper is dated 28 June
1914. It has accounts and the story of the event that really set the

It measures 18" x 11 1/4," and is blank on the
reverse. This was an "Extra" edition that was issued and offered free to
make the public aware of this momentous event. While this event was not
the only cause of the war, it WAS the spark that set events off. It led
Germany, Great Britain, France, Russia, and Austria-Hungary to declare war. Other
nations were brought into the conflict as events progressed. I have a small
number of these papers available. They have been folded in half and are in
excellent condition.

12-594 FRAMED COLOR IMAGE FOR THE VÖLKERSCHLACHTDENKMAL IN
LEIPZIG.
This is a color framed image
which commemorates the Völkerschlachtdenkmal in Leipzig. This is a massive
monument which was dedicated in 1913 to commemorate the 100th
anniversary of the Napoleonic wars. This was a major year in German history
and there was much going on to honor German’s role in these wars. This
monument is every bit as impressive today as it was nearly 100 years ago and
Kaiser Wilhelm II and the King of Saxony were both there for its dedication.
This image is framed and the frame measures 6 1/8" x 8 1/4". The image measures

I believe this portrait is made of stamped tin. It measures
12" x 9 7/8," and shows von Hindenburg wearing a
suit. This certainly from the period while he was serving as Reichspräsident.
It also could be from shortly after his death, while he was
still popular(before the Nazis shifted attention away from
him). It is well made. This will make an attractive display,
whether it is framed or not. $125.00. .

This is a consignment item. It is the Kaiser-Jahrbuch for 1931.
Of course, by this time Kaiser Wilhelm II had long been exiled in the
Netherlands. The book remains an interesting daily calendar for 1931, however.
It contains assorted information from the Kaiser’s reign and about the
Kaiser’s traditions, along with WW I subject matter and important dates. The
forward is by Admiral von Schroder, who led all naval troops in Flanders. It
is a wonderful German potpourri of information.

12-392 TWO-VOLUME SERIES ZEITUNG
der 10. ARMEE.
Do you have an interest in first-hand accounts of what
happened in WW I? Do you have an interest in the developments
during the year 1916 from the view of a military newspaper?
If so I have something very interesting to share with you.
This is a two-volume bound set of newspapers from the German
10th
Armee. I do not know if every German
Army had its own newspaper. In browsing though the various
papers, I find it very well presented (very professional). Of
course, it is written from the German point of view and
reflects the "party line." As you go through this
(even with a German dictionary if you do not read German),
you will get a different viewpoint about European events
during 1916. Two volumes have the daily papers bound in them,
each measuring 17 ½" x 11 1/4" x 1 ½."
Volume One begins with March 1916, and Volume Two begins with
July 1916. One must use caution in turning the pages as they
are getting a bit brittle. This is still quite readable and
entertaining. Extra shipping will be required on this item --
these buggers are heavy!

12-421 FOUR SETS RATION STAMPS - BAVARIA.
This is a set of four different ration coupons from four different cities in
Bavaria. Even after WW I ended, food remained in short supply in Germany.
Thus, well after the war, food was still rationed. These coupons were issued
for the period of April through May 1919. Each sheet measures 4 3/4" x
5." Furthermore, each sheet contains forty small coupons that people could
exchange for meat. They were allowed to redeem ten of these coupons each week.
The ration stamps are for the cities of Augsburg, Bogen, Dingolsing, and
Bamberg I-Land. They are in excellent condition and very colorful. They have
blank areas for the person to add their name and street address.

The occasion took place long after Wilhelm II was exiled to the Netherlands.
Most of the book deals with life at Haus (Huis) Doorn. The book was
written in 1934, with a forward by the Kaiser’s second wife. It is a small
book, but very interesting.

12-523 XES UNSER FRITZ DEUTSCHER KAISER UND KÖNIG VON
PREUßEN by HERMANN MÜLLER-BOHN. This is a consignment item. It is a
German-language biography of Kaiser Friedrich III of Germany. Friedrich III
was Wilhelm I’s son and Wilhelm II’s father. Friedrich III succeeded Wilhelm I
as Kaiser in 1888. He died about 100 days later (he was called "The 100 Day
Kaiser"). He was replaced by his son, Kaiser Wilhelm II, who reigned as
Germany’s final Kaiser until his abdication in November 1918. The book
features many fine drawings and photos. It tells the how Friedrich III served
as Kronprinz, and a top commander in the Prussian Army during the
1870-71 Franco-Prussian War. His participation in that war helped to end it
quickly, for which he was hailed by the Germans. He was also an able and
tireless administrator. Had Friedrich lived longer, Germany and History
probably would have taken a different path than the one chosen by his son.The
binding on the book is loose.

12-336 ABRECHNUNGS-BUCH.
You will have to be a person who enjoys military documents
such as militärpaß and soldbuchs to appreciate this, OR
somebody who would like a really old document. What we have
is an abrechnungs-buch,
which is a pay book. This is for a man by the name of Hermann
Feshe, who served in an artillery brigade in the Prussian
Army. You ask how early this book is? How about 1829-1831!?!
I have spent a half hour pouring through this book. I really
find it interesting seeing how later German military
documents incorporated this information into those documents.
The ink entries are clear. It is amazing to hold in
one’s hand a document that is more than 170 years old,
and which was created barely a decade after the great
Napoleonic wars. $125.00

cardboard-like material, but it is a bit heavier and more
substantial. Even so, each has a wooden frame at the reverse
to help give it some additional strength when hung on the
wall. Bits of wire are attached to the frame for hanging. Two
of the plaques are stahlhelms, measuring 15" x 16
1/4." The third plaque, measuring 23 1/4" x 23
½," is a 1914 Iron Cross. Due to their bulk, a shipping
fee of $20.00 will be charged. $150.00 .

DER AUSSERDEUTSCHE STAATEN EUROPAS
PLATE Nr 2. Prior to the beginning
of WW I, a series of high quality pamphlets were printed in
Germany displaying the orders and decorations of Imperial
Germany and Europe. Many variations of these were produced,
and I have offered several of them in the past. When I
mentioned that these were high-quality, I failed to mention
that they were in FULL COLOR. The example we are offering
today describes in crystal clear detail many of the top
awards from the various nations of Europe (some were allied
to Germany in WW I and some were bitter enemies). It covers
examples from Great Britain, France, Greece, Spain. etc. This
has been matted and is ready for display or framing. The
matte measures 17 3/8" x 13 ½," while the image
within measures 11" x 8 5/8." $95.00. . .

12-373 TWO CREPE PAPER
DESIGNS OF THE HOHENZOLLERN EAGLE AND GERMAN NATIONAL FLAG.
When I first came across these I thought they were paper
napkins. Having said that, it made no sense. Napkins during
the Imperial Period were always made of linen! Then I looked
closer and saw that they were not made of ordinary paper but
crepe paper, instead. We have two of them, featuring a design
with the Hohenzollern Eagle and the German National flag (in
color). They measure 7 3/4" x 7 3/8." Let your
imagination run wild on how you want to use these in your
collection. $25.00 . . .
