Ephemera – The original basis for the ‘Deck of Cards’? Broadside The Perpetual Almanack – or Gentleman Soldier’s Prayer Book printed broadside laid to card approx 15x10ins slightly browned but otherwise in good order featuring two woodcut vignettes and surrounded by a border of playing cards with accompanying text. There is no date to this broadside but from the style of clothing in the vignettes it would probably be mid 18th c. This is an early version of the well known story of the soldier being caught in church with a deck of cards. As a result he is arrested and taken before the Mayor of his town to explain his blasphemous act. He then goes to explain that various cards have religious significance for him and taken as a whole the deck of cards has almost mystical function as a perpetual almanac – as a result of his successful plea the Mayor rewards the soldier and tells him that he is one of the cleverest men he had ever met. The story is well known and immortalised in pop and rock culture by the retelling of the story under the title ‘Deck of Cards’ by Wink Martindale which appeared in the 1950s and has been re-released several times. In this version the soldier is identified as Richard Middleton a private in the 60th Regiment of Foot – so perhaps for the first time we now know who that soldier actually was !

Germaine Krull (1897 - 1985) :A highly collectable loose-leaf, formerly string-bound album of black and white/sepia photographs of African scenes, buildings and peoples, chiefly by the renowned photographer. Each cream coloured card page measuring 35.3 m x 41.1 cms approx with three, four or five prints and with many hand written pencil annotations to the mounts as well as many bearing the stamp verso ''Photographic du SERVICE de L'INFORMATION du France Combattante en Afrique Francoise Libre''. Numerous also have type-written labels or negative reference numbers verso. Germaine Krull was born in Poznan in 1897. During the First World War she attended a photography school in Munich and subsequently opened a studio there. In the early 1920's she shared a studio in Berlin producing a series of photographs of nudes. By the late 1920's she was considered one of the top three photographers in Paris, producing some exceptional images of architecture including bridges and the renowned Eiffel Tower. Some of these images have realised very great sums. In the late 1930's she had a studio in Monte Carlo and produced images of architecture, vehicles and well known (as well as little-known) people. She was not impressed with German occupied France and aimed to join the Free French Forces in Africa. Arriving in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo in September 1942, over the next year and a half she produced a considerable number of photographic images of landscapes, buildings, industry and the native people, several of which feature in the lot being sold which comprises 27 album pages and some 107 individual atmospheric black and white/sepia prints.
