IRISH ARTS REVIEW, VOLUMES 1-27 P Complete, 1984-2010, The first, second and third series complete to Winter 2010The set comprises sixteen quartely issues (1984-88), 14 annual volumes (1989-2002), and a further 35 quarterly issues in a slighly larger format (Summer 2002 to Winter 2010). There was a brief pause due to a change of ownership after Vol.18, hence Volume 19 has only three issues. A very good clean set as issued. Edited by Brian de Breffny, Homan Potterton, Alistair Smith and John Mulcahy, this is an authoritative and superbly illustrated series, with scholarly articles on virtually every Irish painter and sculptor of note.Indespensible to anyone seriously interested in Irish art of any period. The first and second series are entirely out of print, and complete sets are very difficult to obtain.
2 Souvenir phials of Veedol Oil drained from the tanks of Graf Zeppelin after the World Flight. 2 small glass phials, stoppered with cork, each in a cardboard lined metal canister (7cm high x 3cm diameter) with screw top. The paper labels proclaim “Veedol. Tydol. Guarantee. We guarantee that Veedol was used exclusively by the Graf Zeppelin and that this is an actual sample of the Veedol brought over and drained from her tanks. October 15, 1928. Tidewater Oil Company. New York”. The first canister, the label has been scraped, but the phial is intact. The second canister, the cork has leaked and the oil has soaked the cardboard and label, leaving the phial empty. Together with a Veedol Motorenöle Print leveraging the “Graf Zeppelin” World Flight. An interesting print of the Veedol Advert originally created by A.E.de Bruycker in 1929. The image shows an orange globe, girt around with Veedol Oil Cans, against a blue background. Floating serenely over the globe is the “Graf Zeppelin”. Original was printed by Hanseatischen Verlagsanstalt, Hamburg. This copy is framed, mounted and glazed (63cm x 87cm).GC See Plate 3

The ship was built by the Goodyear company of Akron, and named after the town of her construction. It was planned to depart in October 1912.
