First edition hard back binding in publisher's original blue cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered in orange. Quarto. 10'' x 8¼''. Contains 128 pp with 120 photographs, some full-page, by the Lübeck photographer Wilhelm Castelli, they are reminiscent of the photographs by Albert Renger-Patzsch, here because of the mediaeval subjects especially those in his volume 'Das Chorgestühl von Cappenberg'. And indeed, Castelli was introduced to Renger-Patzsch by the Lübeck museum director and author of the present volume, who himself was an advocate of modern art and photography. His way of working had a lasting influence on the still young photographer. In the first two large German photo exhibitions that Heise organised in Lübeck in 1929 and 1932, photos by Castelli hung next to those by Renger, Emil Otto Hoppé and Hugo Erfurth. His motifs were mainly the architectural and art monuments of Lübeck, and his home town acquired his photographs early on, which still document many of the buildings and works of art in the Hanseatic city that were lost in the destruction of World War II. Castelli also left film documents about Lübeck, including footage of the effects of the air raid on March 29, 1942, the first carpet bombing of a German city by the Royal Air Force. Spine sun faded, light spotting to the end papers and in Very Good condition, no dust wrapper. Member of the P.B.F.A. ART [German].

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original brick red cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered in black, family crest to the front cover. 8vo. 7½'' x 5¼''. The Dadeshkeliani or Dadishkeliani was an aristocratic family from the mountainous western Georgian province of Svaneti, they ruled the Principality of Svaneti from the 1720s to 1857. Continuing dynastic strife among the Dadishkeliani, their defiance to the Russian government, and vacillation during the Crimean War (1854-1856), however, led to direct Russian intervention. In 1857, Prince Alexander Baryatinsky, Viceroy of the Caucasus, ordered Svaneti to be subdued by armed force. The prince of Svaneti, Constantine, chose to negotiate, but was ordered into exile to Erivan. On a farewell audience in Kutaisi, he quarreled with a local Russian administrator, Alexander Gagarin, and stabbed him to death and three of his staff. When captured, Constantine was summarily tried by court martial and shot. In 1858, the principality was abolished and converted into a district administered by a Russian-appointed officer. Several members of the Dadeshekeliani family were exiled to the remote Russian provinces and those who remained in Georgia were deprived of their privileges of autonomous princes. During World War I, Dadeshkeliani joined the Russian Army, and served with the 4th Tartar Regiment, she drove an ambulance on the Austrian front before being wounded in 1916. After the war, she lived in Georgia and served in the Constituent Assembly of the Democratic Republic of Georgia. However, when Soviet Russia took control of the country in March 1921, the family moved to Paris, this is an account her wartime experiences.
