Russian White Army Posters.- 4 Propaganda Posters of White Army Commanders, comprising General Anton Ivanovich Denikin, General Aleksei Maksimovich Kaledin, General-Lieutenant Baron Petr Nikolaevich Vrangel, and General-Lieutenant Vladimir Zenonovich Mai-Maevskii, tear to lower corner of Denikin, a few spots, some minor fraying at edges, one 815 x 605mm, others 640 x 405mm, [c.1919-20] (4) *** A rare surviving collection of commemorative White Army posters, relating to the post-Revolutionary civil war of 1918-1920. General Petr Vrangel was a commander of the Caucasus Volunteer Army in 1919, but was forced to resign in early 1920. General Denikin briefly took his place but was also removed from office and Vrangel was reinstated as commander of the White Army. General Kaledin was a Cossack general and the poster commemorates his position as first elective Cossack leader (Ataman) of the Don Cossack Host, giving his date of death 29th January 1918 (11th February in the Gregorian calendar; he committed suicide). Mai-Maevskii also had some successes at the start of the war but by 1920 he was removed from office and died shortly after, either by suicide or heart failure. Provenance: Brought back to the UK by a British army officer operating in the South of Russia during the civil war; and by descent until 2008.

Roman victories were often celebrated with great fanfare, reflecting the martial values that underpinned Roman society. A Roman general, upon achieving a major victory in battle, could be awarded a triumph, a lavish ceremonial procession through the streets of Rome. During this grand event, the victorious general would parade with his army, captives, and the spoils of war, followed by sacrifices to the gods. The triumph symbolized not just personal honor but also Rome's military superiority and divine favor.The Romans attributed many of their victories to the favor of the gods, particularly to the goddess Victoria, who personified victory. Temples dedicated to Victoria, like the Temple of Victoria on the Palatine Hill, played a central role in religious and state-sponsored celebrations of military success. Offerings and dedications to the gods were common after victories, with victorious generals often commissioning altars, statues, or temples as acts of thanksgiving. This religious aspect of victory was intertwined with the belief that Rome's military success reflected its piety and adherence to divine will, fostering the idea of imperium—the Roman right to rule and conquer other nations.On a political level, victory was crucial for the careers of Roman politicians and generals. Success on the battlefield was often a pathway to higher office in the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire. Military victories boosted the reputations of figures like Julius Caesar, who used his successes in Gaul and other regions to build political power. Victory also served as propaganda, reinforcing the image of Rome as an invincible force destined to rule the world. Roman monuments, such as victory arches (like the Arch of Titus) and columns (such as Trajan's Column), celebrated military conquests and immortalized the achievements of Roman emperors and generals, ensuring that their victories were remembered for generations.
dating: First half of the 19th Century provenance: Kingdom of Italy, Lot of six medals: two for aeronautical valour, one of bronze and one of silver; one for the march on rome; one of bronze for the '1915-18' war volunteers; one bronze cross for war merit and finally one medal, air force military.

In 1937, flying a S.79 (SIAI-Marchetti S.M.79 Sparviero) with his colleague Cupini, they landed as the first pair in the Istres-Damascus-Paris race; another eloquent proof came in 1938, when Biseo was ordered to fly from Rome to Rio de Janeiro in only two stages, the general chose Paradisi as the second, on this occasion Captain Moscatelli supported Castellani and Bruno Mussolini had Lieutenant Mancinelli as his companion. The three 'Sorci Verdi' thus took to the air. I-BISE and I-BRUN, commanded by Biseo and Mussolini respectively, reached the shores of Rio de Janeiro. The demands of the war made it necessary for the Royal Air Force to carry out special long-distance flights, links with East Africa, propaganda raids and demonstration bombing missions; for one of these missions, a raid over Asmara was chosen by Paradisi (considered one of the best pilots of the time); He took off from Guidonia on 7 May 1942 and arrived over Asmara on 9 May, dropping propaganda posters; he then returned to Rome, but unfortunately the plane crashed due to an engine blockage; in the accident Paradisi lost a leg and had to give up his career as a pilot.

Work on the translation began as early as 1625 under the direction of Sarkis Rizzi, the Maronite Archbishop of Damascus, taken over by his assistant Filippo Guadagnoli upon his death. In 1650, a Latin-Arabic Bible was printed on the presses of the Congregazione de Propaganda Fide, who immediately banned it, judging that the use of Arabic sources of the Bible had led to too great a deviation from the Vulgate. This second version, amended by Arbaham Echellensis and Ludovico Marracci to be in accordance with the Vulgate, was published in 1671. We can trace only a handful of copies at auction, the last in 2013.

Original vintage British WWII propaganda poster: Fight in the Streets - Belong to your Savings Group. Issued by the National Savings Committee, the Scottish Savings Committee and the Ulster Savings Committee. Printed for Her Majesty Stationery Office by Lowe & Brydone Printers Ltd. The National Savings Movement was a British mass savings movement that operated between 1916 and 1978 and was used to finance the deficit of government spending over tax revenues. The movement was instrumental during World War II in raising funds to support the war effort. In peacetime, the movement provided an easy and safe way for ordinary people to save small sums of money. The movement grew to around 7 million members before ceasing during the 1970s as more modern methods of saving took over. Savings products promoted by the movement typically offered a low level of return but the safety of a government guarantee. The movement was particularly active during wartime when government spending was heightened. During World War II a War Savings Campaign was set up by the War Office to support the war effort. Local savings weeks were held which were promoted with posters with titles such as "Lend to Defend the Right to be Free", "Save your way to Victory" and "War Savings are Warships".

Original vintage British World War Two propaganda poster: Leaders of the Royal Air Force. Great poster honouring the leaders of the Battle of Britain, the air war against the Nazis Luftwaffe in the air over England that was intended by Adolph Hitler to cause the surrender of England. Each of the Air Force notable is pictured and named against the background of a blue sky. Printed by Chromoworks Ltd. The Battle of Britain (German: Luftschlacht um England, literally "The Air Battle for England") was a military campaign of the Second World War, in which the Royal Air Force (RAF) defended the United Kingdom (UK) against large-scale attacks by Nazi Germany's air force, the Luftwaffe. It has been described as the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces. The British officially recognise the battle's duration as being from 10 July until 31 October 1940, which overlaps the period of large-scale night attacks known as the Blitz, that lasted from 7 September 1940 to 11 May 1941. German historians do not accept this subdivision and regard the battle as a single campaign lasting from July 1940 to June 1941, including the Blitz. Historian Stephen Bungay cited Germany's failure to destroy Britain's air defences to force an armistice (or even outright surrender) as the first major German defeat in World War II and a crucial turning point in the conflict. The Battle of Britain takes its name from a speech given by Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the House of Commons on 18 June: "What General Weygand called the 'Battle of France' is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Good condition, small tears and creases in the margins.
