*Hitler (Adolf, 1889-1945). Half-length portrait in half profile by Heinrich Hoffmann, mid 1930s, vintage gelatin silver print, wet stamp credit to verso 'Photo-Haus Hoffmann , Mnchen 2 N.W. Amalienstr. 25', signed presentation inscription to lower blank margin from Hitler to David Lloyd George on the occasion of their historic meeting, 'Mister Lloyd George, zur freundlichen Erinnerung an seinen Beitrag in meinen Deutschland in umsichtiger Vorahnung, Adolf Hitler, Berchtesgaden den 4 /Sept. 1936', [translation: 'Mister Lloyd George, in kind remembrance of his contribution to my Germany with circumspect presentiment, Adolf Hitler, Berchtesgaden, 4th September 1936'], image size 198 x 150mm, sheet size 27 x 22 cm David Lloyd George's visit to Hitler at his villa, the Berghof, near Berchtesgaden, in September 1936, is invariably represented as an exercise in folly and Lloyd George (1863-1945) painted as a self-deluded victim of Nazi propaganda. His effusions in the press on his return, of a peace-loving Germany, determined never again to go to war with Britain, are an embarrassment to his admirers. Of all Hitler's British visitors, Churchill said 'no one was more completely misled than Mr Lloyd George'. This signed presentation photograph, a memento of that infamous meeting, is undoubtedly one of the most historically poignant and significant presentation photographs of Hitler to ever come up for sale, yoking together Britain's Great War-time premier on the one part with the Fhrer of Nazi Germany on the other. Lloyd George had a one-to-one policy meeting with Hitler on the afternoon of 4 September, in the Fhrer's office at his villa, the Berghof. The following afternoon the entire British party of six joined Hitler in the Great Hall there for a social gathering and tea. It was then that this photograph was presented. Printed below are account extracts of the occasion written by two of those also present, A.J. Sylvester, Lloyd George's private secretary, and Thomas Jones, a close associate of the then prime minister Stanley Baldwin. 'It was probably half-past five when we sat down in a large circle of low and easy chairs for tea and coffee and slices of cold ham and halves of hard-boiled eggs For some time the talk rambled over presentation of ancient buildings At this point a signed photograph of the Fhrer was produced, in a case, and handed by him to L.G. who responded with the hope that Hitler would not object to share a table in L.G.'s house with photographs of Foch and President Wilson. From this point on the talk became more serious and impressive Hitler spoke with a grave and sincere animation. Germany had lost the war [First World War], that had happened to nations before It was realized in Germany that if the war was won by the Allies, it was not due to the soldiers but to one great statesman - Lloyd George Lloyd George, speaking with a tear in his throat, was deeply touched by the personal tribute of the Fhrer and was proud to hear it paid to him by the greatest German of the age 'Thomas Jones, A Diary with Letters, 1931-1950 (1954), pp. 248-52. 'We all sat in easy chairs round a very low tea-table, on which candles were lit. It was a wonderful setting. It was a great moment when Hitler handed to L.G. a beautifully framed and autographed photograph of himself. L.G. immediately rose and shook Hitler very warmly by the hand. L.G. was immensely pleased with this. We had taken a number of photographs of Hitler with us and, after he had signed these, we took our leave. A most remarkable experience.' A.J. Sylvester, Life with Lloyd George, (1975), pp. 149-150. (1)

British Reformation Society. A Map shewing the situation of each Roman Catholic Chapel, College or Seminary, throughout England, Scotland, and Wales. According to published accounts and also the present stations of the Reformation Society. To Jany. 1833, engraved map with contemporary hand colouring, old folds, slight spotting and offsetting, inset map of the county of Lancashire, 580 x 370 mm A scarce map; published by the British Reformation Society in 1833, only four years after Parliament had passed the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829. The Act finally lifted the long-standing political and civil restrictions on Roman Catholics in England & Wales and Scotland (but notably not in Ireland). Most of the Protestant population were indifferent to the new freedoms, but the more radical Protestant elements - led by the Reformation Society - who were opposed to Catholic Emancipation, were vociferously vocal and sought for a time to reverse the reforms. They published this map as a form of propaganda to show the spread of Catholicism throughout the nation. The map includes the locations of Reformation Society Stations which were set up to supposedly place a check against Catholic activities. A somewhat sinister anti-Catholic map, demonstrating the religous intolerance which still abounded in the 19th century. (1)

They were distributed by the Army and Navy to primarily military installations and government & civilian groups working on War Department projects. (26)

VSEVOLOD VLADIMIROVICH SAKHNOVSKY (RUSSIAN 1903-1989)Costume Design for Gabrielle from the comic opera "Le capitaine Roland", 1937gouache on board38 x 27.8 cm (14 9/16 x 10 15/16 in.)inscribed upper left and right, signed and dated lower right, with label on versoPROVENANCECollection of Viktor Kholodkov LOT NOTESSakhnovsky was a Russian and Soviet artist known mainly for his works in theater: set design, costumes, and posters. Sakhnovsky actively participated in the Blue Blouse, an influential avant-garde theatre troupe. He mainly worked on theatrical stage and costume designs. ‘’Blue Blouse’’ was a famous theater movement, the purpose of which was to convey political propaganda through choreography. This movement was extremely popular in the 1920`s and many prominent authors, composers, producers, and artists made their contribution to the Blue Blouse movement, including such figures as N. Aseev, O. Brik, V. Mayakovsky, S. Tretyakov, I. Dunaevsky, et al. Sakhnovsky also created numerous playbills and posters for Blue Blouse performances, and extensively worked on designs of group`s printed production. When the Blue Blouse publications were discontinued, they were replaced by a similar magazine called Small Forms, to which Sakhnovsky contributed many of his works.This lot comes from the collection of Viktor Kholodkov (1948-2015), who fulfilled his passion for books, avant-garde design and paper memorabilia by devoting his life to collecting and dealing of prominent works of Russian graphic art of the first half of the 20th century. The dedicated collector acquired a multitude of books and artworks throughout decades, meticulously labeling and archiving every single item. Many came directly from the most preeminent artists of the time, as well as from their families and estates. He also possessed a vast number of drawings from the famous collection of another avant-garde enthusiast, Nikolai Khardzhiev. After leaving the USSR in 1989 and settling in California, Viktor continued his work as a Soviet art dealer and critic, actively publishing various articles and contributing to several major Russian avant-garde exhibitions across the U.S., such as the 1991 Russia Under Fire in the 40s on the West Coast and the 1992 Guggenheim exhibition The Great Utopia: The Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde. Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American institutions. His sophisticated selection of over 2000 Russian sheet music covers was acquired by The Library of Congress, and an extensive amount of material related to VKhUTEMAS is now at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
