Whistler (Rex). Flying Visit of Truth to Berlin in the form of an R. A. F. leaflet raid here fancifully depicted - but not forgetting a great many hard facts, The Illustrated Magazine, December 9th, 1939, black and white satirical map of an aerial view of Berlin, very slight staining, margins strengthened on verso with tape, with descriptive text "What the R. A. F. sees over Berlin" on the verso, 325 x 485 mmQty: (1)NOTESThe map commemorates the first British "nickel" (propaganda leaflet raid) over Berlin during World war II. It took place in early October 1939 and was carried out by planes of RAF10 Squadron. The raid was promoted as a sign of Germany's weak air defences and its vulnerability to attack. The R. A. F. is represented by numerous putti wearing flying helmets and goggles and being led by a warlike Britannia. In the lower right corner are caricatures of Hitler, Goebbels and Goering, shaking impotent fists at the sky whilst Von Ribbentrop cowers beneath a table. They support a 'skull and crossbones' flag with the skull wearing an SS cap. Rex Whistler joined the army in 1939 but was killed in action in 1944 in Normandy at the age of 39.
* Gillray (James). Dilettanti Theatricals - or a Peep at the Green Room - Vide Pic-Nic-Orgies, H. Humphrey, Feb 18th 1803, etching on wove with contemporary hand colouring, some adhesion scars to margins, slight mount staining, laid on later card, 310 x 490 mmQty: (1)NOTESA crowded drawing-room scene showing several figures from the upper echelons of society dressing and rehearsing for an amateur production of a play. The image clearly echoes William Hogarth's 'Strolling Actresses Dressing in a Barn' but Gillray's rendering is a great deal more luxurious than the squalor depicted by Hogarth. The scene is dominated by the enormous Lady Buckinghamshire who is standing before a dressing-table, adding yet another 'beauty-spot' to her face. Othe characters include Lady Salisbury pulling on her boots, the gigantic Lord Cholmondeley who is dressed as Cupid and the tiny Lord Mount Edgcumbe clad in the armour and helmet of Alexander the Great. Sir Lumley Skeffington is dressed as Harlequin and dances with a deformed 'punch-like' hunchback who is Lord Kirkcudbright. Discreetly shown in front of the room screen is a group of four dancing in a round which includes the Prince of Wales placed between Mrs Fitzherbert and Lady Jersey; his attention and right hand firmly attached to Lady Jersey. A detailed caricature intended to depict complex machinations and intrigue which swirled around the political and aristocratic classes of mid-Georgian society.
