Field Marshall Von Paulus signed 7 x 5 b/w photo in uniform in the field, snowy scene. Friedrich Wilhelm Ernst Paulus (23 September 1890 - 1 February 1957) was a German general during World War II who commanded the 6th Army. He attained the rank of field marshal two hours before the surrender of German forces in the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 to February 1943). The battle ended in disaster for Nazi Germany when Soviet forces encircled and defeated about 265,000 personnel of the Wehrmacht, their Axis allies and collaborators. Paulus surrendered in Stalingrad on 31 January 1943, the same day on which he was informed of his promotion to field marshal by Adolf Hitler. Hitler expected Paulus to commit suicide, repeating to his staff that there was no precedent of a German field marshal ever being captured alive. While in Soviet captivity during the war, Paulus became a vocal critic of the Nazi regime and joined the Soviet-sponsored National Committee for a Free Germany. He moved to East Germany in 1953. Good Condition. All signed pieces come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide.

Lot 125
Boxall, James My Diary in India and Afghanistan 1874 to 1881. 8vo, half leather over boards, lettered in gilt on upper board; pp. 91 hand-written recto only, pp. 92-120 interleaved with programmes for the Amateur Dramatic Club of the Rifle Brigade and two drawings (one of Boxall in costume and one of ''The Great Little Flynn in clown costume) and one photograph, faded, also of Flynn. Also loosely inserted 22 oblong A5 pages of MSS being an unfinished diary of his return to service during the Egyptian campaign of 1882, ending with his arrival at Kassassin, some three weeks after the infamous battle. Pte. James Boxall was sent to join the 4th Batt. Rifle Brigade in Umballa, East India, after a draft of Oct. 1874, and served with them until 1881. According to Spinks sale of his medals (24th Apr. 2014) he was awarded the India General Service 1854-95 medal with one clasp, Jowaki and Egypt 1882-89 with one clasp, Tel-el-Kebir. He appears to have suffered more from the depredations of the campaign than the enemy, describing an attack of ague, their pursuit by cholera, the agonies of marching, and occasional corruption. He is much more engaged when describing his involvement with the Amateur Dramatic Club, for which he designed costumes, sang comic songs, and trod the boards in female roles (his wife appears to have acted as well according to the programmes). This different angle on campaigning gives a fresh look at life for the army abroad, with its focus on leisure and entertainment, rather than battles and combat. Alas, he does not appear to have starred in the time covered by his Egyptian journal, having only recently arrived in country when the reminiscence ends. A fascinatingly ephemeral piece of military history.Binding worn, with upper hinge cracked, but board still attached and text block generally tight, pages cockled and stained, with some mould to ffep and prelims, but still legible,
Lot 126
East-India Company Treaties and Grants from the Country Powers, to the East-India Company, Respecting their Presidency of Fort St. George, on the Coast of Choromandel; Fort-William, In Bengal; and Bombay, on the Coast of Malabar. From the Year 1756 to 1772. Printed in the Year, 1774. Bound with Proceedings of the Governor and Council at Fort William, &c. Respecting the Administration of Justice amongst the Natives in Bengal. Printed in the Year, 1774. 4to, calf-backed marbled boards; pp. [1-3]-258, [1]-10 (List of Treaties); [1-3], 138. Of the three great cities of the Company - Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta - the latter two owed their existence wholly to the eccentricities of man and the vicissitudes of fortune. The original settlement at Fort St. George was not auspicious. Francis Day, the Company Agent who settled there in 1640, evidently had a 'mistris' at St Thome, explaining the decision to pick desolate seafront a few minutes from the Portuguese. Day was so keen, he even offered to cover interest charges on money raised to build there. This became necessary when the original treaty turned out not to require the naik to pay for the fort as the company believed - a perfectly reasonable understanding, only discovered after they had already moved there. Madras would eventually prosper, but against all odds. The story of Fort William and Calcutta meanwhile is a sordid mix of political chaos and corporate greed. The Company was in a difficult position in the 17th century. They were beholden to the treaties of Moghul Emperors, and outside their strongholds had little privilege. That is not to say the Emperors did not need them - they needed gold and silver to prosecute the continual wars of the area. The Company was irritating but necessary. It was into this setting that Job Charnock came. Via a series of strange events, a wheeler-dealer with no military experience would eventually command an assault on one of the most powerful Empires in Asia. With 308 men. Driven out of Hughli, he headed twenty miles downriver and landed at what would eventually become Calcutta. After an increasingly bloody and ludicrous series of engagements a commercial spirit was re-established, and the Company settled at what would become one of its most significant cities. By the time of these Treaties the Company had long considered itself a Sovereign State in India, holding its Presidencies responsible for the enforcement of law, and especially duties, in their regions. The Treaties begin immediately after the French assault and seizing of Madras (returned after the Peace of Aix); the chaos of the Carnatic wars; and the recapture of Calcutta after its ignominious fall - and the attendant horrors of the Black Hole. The tenor of the time can be seen in the concerns for the disposition of the French; the confirmation of ownership and legal powers over settlements; restitution of captured forts and materiel; and careful declaration of shared enemies. The Plenipotentiary powers of Clive and his companions would determine the daily lives of those in Company territories. The Hon. Company remains perhaps unique in the annals of corporate history for blurring the lines between company and nation state. It conducted warfare, signed treaties, and did so not under a national flag, but a corporate logo. Today, it would be as if the Maersk Line or Microsoft deployed a private army to create a city in Pakistan working entirely for their needs. All of Anglo-India was born from the initial forays of the Company; its history is the history of the Raj. This period of Clive of India ultimately created the fusing of mercantilism and monarchy which gave Victoria her Jewel.
