With love and appreciation, [signed] Ritzka lo Peh. Nisan 4 [i.e. 4th May] 1946', original vellum boards with leather spine and leather spine ties, split along joints at foot of spine, oblong folio (34 x 37cm) An extremely rare photographic record of Jewish development projects in Palestine. This album was produced as a piece of Zionist propaganda for the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry. This was a committee of six British and six American representatives appointed in 1945 'to examine political, economic, and social conditions in Palestine as they bear upon the problem of Jewish immigration and settlement therein and the well-being of the peoples now living therein'. The committee travelled to, and heard testimony in, Poland, the Warsaw Ghetto, Cairo, Damascus, Beirut, Baghdad, Riyadh and Amman. This album was presented to members of the committee by the Jewish Agency for Palestine, and includes images of clearing of swamps, building of new villages and towns such as Tel Aviv and progress in settling the Negev desert. There are some 28 aerial photographs, including shots of Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem, which are probably the work of Zoltan Kluger (1896-1977). Born in Hungary, Kluger spent 1933-1958 as chief photographer at the Orient Press Photo Co agency in Tel Aviv, and was a pioneer of non-military aerial photography in Palestine. Believed to be one of only of about 12 copies, this is an exceptional association copy. The London office for the Jewish Agency for Palestine was set up by Dr Chaim Weizmann, with the help of the Marks & Spencer partners, Sir Simon Marks and Israel Sieff. Sir Simon Marks (1888-1964) was president of the Joint Palestine Appeal and honorary vice-president of the Zionist Federation, and following the establishment of Israel in 1948 he worked tirelessly to help the fledgling state overcome its many problems.

GERMAN PLANS FOR THE INVASION OF ENGLAND IN 1940, OPERATION 'SEALION' edited by W.E. Parry, Director of Naval Intelligence, 48 leaves and one map, typescript, original cloth-backed printed boards, February 1947, one of 80 copies A fascinating account compiled by Vice Admiral Kurt Assman taken from German naval archives of the events that ultimately proved to be the cancellation of the invasion of England, code named Sealion . The account varies from exaggerated hopes to pessimistic forecasts and the operation probably failed owing to Goering's lukewarm support and doubt that an invasion would take place or succeed. A summary of the Naval Staff's appreciation, dated 10th September, noted There is no sign of the defeat of the enemy's airforce over Southern England. Sealion was postponed until January 1941, again in May 1941 and then shelved indefinately. Kurt Assman (1883-1962) in WWI commanded the 'Torpedoboat Flotilla Flanders'. In WWII he was head of naval archives until his retirement in June 1943.
