Frotscher ("Riga: Deutsche Zeitung im Ostland), 1941, 32pp. 8vo., paperback, a report on Reichskommisar Hinrich Lohse's tour of the recently-conquered Soviet puppet state of Latvia, with the aim of demonstrating how the country is already rebuilding under Nazi rule. As expected, the report features much anti-Semitic and anti-Bolshevist content, including a photograph of several of Riga's Jews with the caption: "You can see these Jews everywhere in Ostland but now that they have been deported into ghettos they can no longer disturb the rebuilding of the country..." A second photo on this page shows a large group of Russian POWs being marched to a prison camp. Ink ownership inscription on the title page, else fine. WITH: "Das Junge Reich" ("The Young Reich"), October, 1931, 40pp. 4to., a periodical targeting readers in the Hitler Youth, this issue featuring a ten-page article on the failings of America, complete with photographs of homeless people sleeping in front of the Capitol building, rioters being arrested and beaten by the police, African-American jazz musicians, union protesters, and other "undesirables".

JIMI HENDRIX: JAPANESE AND ISRAELI LPs - This lot contains three rare Japanese and two Israeli releases. It offers a great chance to own some extremely rare records that would take pride of place in any record collection. The Japanese releases include the original pressing of the 1971 release "Legacy" (MPZ 8113, Ex/VG+) and two 1980 reissues complete with Japanese language inserts: "Electric Ladyland" (MPX 9955/6, Ex+/Ex, two records); and, "Are You Experienced" (MPA 7004, Ex+/Ex). The two Israeli releases are extremely rare and don't often come up for sale. Both albums are the only Israeli versions of the release. The albums are "Isle of Wight" (2310 139, Ex/Ex) and "Band of Gypsys" (2406 002, Ex+/Ex, with the 'Puppet Sleeve').
Lot 543
HENDRIX - BAND OF GYPSYS - The critically acclaimed live album was the first Jimi Hendrix release without the supporting members of the Jimi Hendrix experience. This copy (2406 002, Ex+/Ex) is the original issue of the UK release in 1970. It features the 'puppet sleeve' which was later withdrawn amidst a degree of controversy as the four, unflattering likenesses of Hendrix, John Peel, Bob Dylan and Brian Jones seemingly had no connection to each other or the record. Eventually, this cover was replaced by the more familiar picture of Jimi playing the guitar live. This lot offers a fantastic opportunity to own a great condition version of the original release - a piece of musical history!

Lot 55
Indonesia, Java, ca. 1950 CE. A trio of excellent small puppets, brightly colored, made of wood with cloth and paint embellishments. These are used in wayang, a theatrical performance unique to Java that uses puppets and human dancers. This style of theatre has been designated by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage since 2003. This particular type of puppet - operated by a rod underneath the clothing and rods connected to the hands - is known as a wayang golek, which today is associated with the Sundanese culture of West Java. This area and the northern part of Java are home to some of the oldest Muslim kingdoms on the island and it is believed that, from the 17th century onward, puppets of this style were used to tell stories of Muslim history; later, it became a way to tell the stories of the Ramayana and Mahabarata. Size: 4.4" W x 22" H (11.2 cm x 55.9 cm) Provenance: Ex-Private Boulder, CO collection acquired at Indochine Gallery Condition: Slight wear to paint and fading to fabric as shown.

Lot 63
Southeast Asia, Burma (modern day Myanmar), ca. 19th century CE. A hand-carved and hand-painted traditional Burmese theater puppet head, probably carved from Gmelina arborea (yamanay) wood, with an articulated mouth, an elaborate seven-tiered headdress with a flame finial and ear ornaments, and an elegant face, its eyes inlaid with black and white glass. According to Dr. Tin Maung Kyi, a medical doctor as well as an expert on Burmese puppetry, each puppet is typically comprised of seventeen to nineteen pieces that are string operated; the head and neck piece, the body in two pieces, a pair of arms in six pieces and a pair of legs in eight pieces. Burmese marionettes are incredibly intricate and dexterous as they require eighteen (for male characters) or nineteen (for female) wires, and even more amazingly, all of these wires are controlled only by one puppeteer. The size of the head determines the height of the puppet, and the hand-span (distance between the thumb and tip of middle finger) determines the circumference of the head. Clearly, this head belonged to a rather large puppet. The tradition of Burmese puppet theater (yoke thay) originated in the 15th century CE and saw its peak in popularity in the 19th century. The performances would last all night and shows called upon the talents of puppeteers, singers, and musicians. A Burmese marionette troupe involves twenty-seven characters, including a king, animals such as horse, elephant, tiger, monkey and parrot, ministers, a prince and princess, buffoons, and various mythical characters. Each puppet is danced in its own particular manner. This puppet represents a mythical being, probably Thagyar Min, the King of the Celestial Beings, who wears a seven-tiered headdress and an opulent costume resembling ceremonial dress worn by Burmese kings on stately occasions that is comprised of a gold-hued robe embellished with sequins and beads. He also carries a double-edged sword in his right hand. According to Dr. Kyi, this puppet must always descend upon the stage from above the handrail, signifying his elevated abode and by extension, his high status. What's more, his feet are never to touch the floor. Custom wood stand. A fabulous example from this cherished Burmese tradition. Size: head measures 9.5" L x 8" W x 22.25" H (24.1 cm x 20.3 cm x 56.5 cm); 26.625" H (67.6 cm) on standFor additional information about Burmese puppetry see the following sources: Bruns, A.: Burmesische Marionettenkunst 2000, Bangkok (Ph.D.Thesis); Cowell, E.B.: The Jataka or Stories of the Buddha's former births 1969, London: Luzac & Co; Ma Thanegi: The illusion of life.
