Mosley and the British fascists The Jews’ Who Who published by the Judaic Publishing Co 1920. 8vo 255pp orange boards a little distressed interior contents generally unblemished though the first two pages are fixed with adhesive tape (which should be professionally removed). Stamps of the Britons Publishing Society Library and bookplate of Jane Patterson to rear. The book lists a considerable number of leading Jewish people with their estimated assets and of course nasty remarks about them the association some of them had with the Kaiser’s Jubilee Fund in 1913. This latter reference provides an interesting insight into how ‘facts’ can be manipulated into political propaganda. At the time the Jubilee Fund was set up Britain was not at war with Germany and of course the Kaiser had considerable British links being the grandson of Queen Victoria and thereby cousin of George V. Coming in for specific vilification in this book is Sir Edgar Speyer who it states was worth just over 13million in 1920.

WWII – Herman Goering – Christening Robe a German lace christening robe measuring approx 3ft long in good condition throughout. A featuring of this robe is that it is embellished with two rows of swastikas down its length and with a band of swastikas around the base. Provenance: the vendor has stated to us that this is the robe worn by Herman Goering’s daughter Edda during the reception after her christening at the Goering mansion. He obtained it from an intermediary who obtained it from one of the maids in the Goering household named Frieda Zychski. The robe is finely crafted and as such it clearly was used for a high status christening. It is further stated that the robe was given personally to Goering and his wife by Adolf Hitler who attended the ceremony and was photographed with the family. Official photographs were taken at the ceremony for propaganda purposes but no official photographs were taken at the reception. Note: the photograph which accompanies the image of this robe on our website is for record purposes only and does not form part of this lot.

Political highly important group of letters and reports from Sir Worden Chilcott to Sir Martin Conway dated October and December 1924 detailing the political intrigue between the Conservative and Liberal parties in manoeuvring the Labour Government of Ramsey MacDonald into accepting the fatal vote of censure on the ‘Campbell Question’. A total of 7 1/2 pp 4to marked ‘Secret’. The group comprises two carbon copies of reports, dated September 20th and October 1st 1924, the first with pencil alteration of date to December 12th, and a typewritten letter from Chilcott to Conway dated December 12th 1924 This is without question the most important group of documents concerning this case to have emerged in recently years, and could add considerable new information on what was one of the most important political issues of the 20th c The background to the ‘Campbell Case’ involved the election in January 1924 of the first Labour Government under Ramsay MacDonald – something which was abhorrent to both Conservatives and the Liberal Party. The Government was short lived. By October 8th the Government was defeated on a Liberal amendment to a Conservative Vote of Censure resulting from the abortive prosecution for sedition on a British Communist called John Campbell. On the following day the Foreign Office was sent a letter dated September 15th apparently written by Grigori Zinoviev, Head of the Russian Propaganda Committee to the British Communist Party urging an armed uprising. This put the final lid on the Labour Government’s coffin. However, the Russians have always insisted that the Zinoviev letter was a fake and the affair has led to bitterness and recrimination ever since. Even as late as 1999 the then Foreign Secretary Robin Cook commissioned a Memorandum on the whole affair drawing on Secret Intelligence Service sources. Many papers relating to the affair are still thought to be in secret files which even in the late 1990s Cook refused to release. The two copy reports are most revealing. Chilcott was special advisor and friend of F E Smith (referred to in the reports as ‘FE’). The two reports in the present lot indicate that Smith coordinated the Conservative and Liberal parties in the manoeuvring which led to the downfall of the Government The second report implicates the activities of Austen Chamberlain, Jack Seely, Lloyd George, F E Smith and the Air Minister Sam Hoare. It also suggests that it was Conway set the whole matter into motion.

* Fougasse (pseud., really Cyril Kenneth Bird, 1887-1965). ÒThe Grand Ballroom of the Hotel SublimeÓ, a pair of pen & ink drawings on a single sheet of paper, one showing the ballroom full of people, with an orchestra playing on the stage, the other showing it empty, save for a figure seated at a desk, latter signed in lower left-hand corner, each drawing 146 x 253mm (5.75 x 10ins), mounted. Published in `Punch’ on 8th November 1939, as no. XIII in a series entitled ÒThe Changing Face of BritainÓ; the drawings were then published collectively by Methuen in 1940. British cartoonist Cyril Kenneth Bird was best-known for his editorship of Punch magazine and his iconic World War II propaganda posters. He was educated at Cheltenham College and King’s College, London. While at King’s College he attended evening art classes at the Regent Street Polytechnic and at the School of Photo-Engraving in Bolt Court. He was seriously injured at the Battle of Gallipoli during World War I and invalided out of the British Army (his pen name is based on a type of mine called a fougasse). He first contributed to Punch in 1916, while convalescing, and also contributed to several other British newspapers and magazines, including the Graphic and Tatler. In the course of the 1920s and 1930s, his drawings evolved from the traditionally representational to the innovative, spare style for which he became so popular. He became art editor of Punch from 1937 to 1949, then editor until 1953, and was the only cartoonist ever to edit the magazine. During World War II, he worked free-of-charge for the Ministry of Information, designing humorous but effective propaganda posters, including the famous ÒCareless Talk Costs LivesÓ series. He was awarded a CBE for this work in 1946. He also illustrated and co-wrote several humorous books with W.D.H. McCullough. (1)

* Churchill (Right Hon. Winston Spencer, 1874-1965). Typed letter signed `Winston S. Churchill’, 22nd September 1910, to Charlie [Charles Masterman, 1873-1927], `I am writing to [David] Shackleton and asking whether it will be convenient for him to come and see me on Monday or Tuesday. My plans for next week and the week after have been a little altered owing to the difficulty which attendeded [sic] my project for having a series of conferences within this period. Lloyd George has asked me to go and stay with him at Criccieth next week, and I have accepted for Wednesday unless, indeed, as is not impossible, I am commanded to Balmoral. Do not attach too great importance to your sensitive West Ham. The great mass of the electorate have had enough of politics for the present. I shall be at the Office on Monday. It would be nice if you and your wife could come and lunch’, typed on Home Secretary letterhead with black mourning border, salutation and signed sentiment in Churchill’s holograph along with the words `Private’ at top and `Wire’ at foot, one page with integral blank, some dust soiling and marks to blank verso, 4to. Charles Masterman stood as liberal candidate for West Ham North winning the seat in th 1906 general election. In 1908 Herbert Asquith appointed him as the government’s parliamentary secretary of the local government board. This was followed by periods as under secretary of state of the Home Office (1908-12) and financial secretary to the Treasury (1912-14). During the First World War Masterman acted as head of the government’s War Propaganda Bureau. Sir David Shackleton (1863-1938) was a cotton worker and trade unionist, becoming the third Labour member of parliament in the United Kingdom. In 1910, Winston Churchill invited him to join the civil service and Shackleton left parliament where he quickly rose to the rank of permanent secretary in the new Ministry of Labour. (1)
