Original vintage World War Two propaganda poster issued by the Vichy government World War II - Laissez-nous tranquilles! (Leave us in peace!). Image of a French family planting a tree with four black beasts (three dogs and a three-headed snake) symbolizing the enemies (indicated in writing: de Gaulle, Freemasonry, the Lie, the Jew ), ready to attack the land of France and its inhabitants. Vichy France (French: Régime de Vichy) is the common name of the French State (État français) headed by Marshal Philippe Pétain during World War II. It represented the unoccupied "Free Zone" (zone libre) in the southern part of metropolitan France and the French colonial empire. From 1940 to 1942, while the Vichy regime was the nominal government of all of France except Alsace-Lorraine, the German militarily occupied northern France. While Paris remained the de jure capital of France, the government chose to relocate to the town of Vichy, 360 km (220 mi) to the south in the zone libre, which thus became the de facto capital of the French State. Following the Allied landings in French North Africa in November 1942, southern France was also militarily occupied by Germany and Italy. Petain's regime remained in Vichy as the nominal government of France, albeit one that clearly operated as a de facto client state of Nazi Germany from November 1942 onward. The Vichy government nominally remained in existence on paper until the end of the war, although it lost its all remaining de facto authority in late 1944 when the Allies liberated the whole of France.

It is finally stated in no uncertain terms that the accomplices of the British plutocracy are plotting the disenfranchisement and enslavement of the German people for all time.

Original vintage Second World War propaganda poster issued in the Nazi occupied France by French Vichy state. The poster features a dynamic design of a man wearing a hat marked with a red star, holding a pistol gun above an image of a ruined house against a red fire background and people running with their arms up, the text in a bleak grey box representing a miserable life and in a brighter clear box representing a better future reading: Bolshevik socialism... is to seize the land for the benefit of the State, to steal the cattle, to have made the peasant a beast of burden and to have reduced him to the deepest misery. It is to flout Religion, to assassinate priests and believers, to defile the churches, it is to have beatified Lenin and deified Joseph Stalin. It is to have extended the death penalty to simple theft committed to the detriment of the State, it is to have dared to apply this sentence to 12 year old children! It is to humiliate the worker by lowering him to the role of brainless machine, it is to make him earn 200 roubles a month, that is to say less than 400 francs! It is to have suppressed the middle classes, petty trade, crafts, it is to have abandoned on the roads 9 million children who died of hunger and cold. It's a grey life, without joy and without hope, it's espionage, denunciation and torture, it's misery, it's the shot in the back of the neck! French socialism... Our socialism is respect for the spiritual, corporate and union traditions of our working class, it is the reintegration of the world of work into the national community. It is to give each worker a salary corresponding to his vital needs, to his works, to his national and social role. It is the change of human relations in the factory by the community spirit, it is the liberation of the middle classes and the peasantry from the capitalist grip. It is to bring the solutions which will give to each worker in his work, initiative and responsibility, it is to provide him the means to become, in his turn, company manager. It is the protection of the family and the child, the popularisation of sport, the fight against the slum, the improvement of the life of the peasant as that of the worker, and this despite the heavy difficulties of the moment. It is for all French people the promise of a better future, it is for the worker, the peasant, the craftsman, the hope for a dignified and free life! It is the suppression of the proletariat.

Original vintage World War Two UK propaganda poster: Careless Talk Costs Lives "Strictly between you and meâ€Â¦". Image of a sailor and army soldier chatting next to a building wall with Hitler's head poking out of the window above. Cyril Kenneth Bird CBE (17 December 1887 â€â€œ 11 June 1965), known by the pen name Fougasse, was a British cartoonist best known for his work in Punch magazine (of which he served as editor from 1949 to 1953) and his World War II warning propaganda posters. He also designed many posters for the London Underground. Bird was born in London on 17 December 1887, the son of Arthur Bird, a company director. He was educated at Cheltenham College and King's College London (B.Sc). While at King's College he attended evening art classes at the Regent Street Polytechnic and at the School of Photo-Engraving in Bolt Court. He was seriously injured at the Battle of Gallipoli during World War I and invalided out of the British Army. Bird first contributed to Punch in 1916, while convalescing, and also contributed to several other British newspapers and magazines, including the Graphic and Tatler. His pen name was based on the fougasse, a type of mine. As one of the best known cartoonists of the time, he was one of 170 authors who created doll-sized books exclusively for Queen Mary's Dolls' House; his illustrated verse tale, written on postage stamp-sized pages, was published as a regular-sized hardback in 2012 by the Royal Collection and Walker Books. In the course of the 1920s and 1930s, his drawings evolved from the traditionally representational to an innovative, spare, style that was both unique and popular, featuring in many advertising campaigns as well as in magazine editorial. He became art editor of Punch from 1937 to 1949, then editor until 1953. He was the only cartoonist ever to edit the magazine. During World War II, he worked unpaid for the Ministry of Information, designing humorous but effective propaganda posters including the famous "Careless Talk Costs Lives" series. For this work he was awarded the honour of Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1946. He illustrated and co-wrote several humorous books with W. D. H. McCullough. These included the very successful Aces Made Easy â€â€œ or Pons asinorum in a nutshell, on the subject of contract bridge, in 1934, and You Have Been Warned â€â€œ A Complete Guide to the Road, in 1935. In the mid 1950s, he taught at the Christian Science Sunday School in the Sloane Square church, which has since been converted into the Cadogan Hall concert hall. He died in London, aged 77. Since 2009 his cartoon of a butler carrying a tray has been used to illustrate the front page of British Airways' First Class menus, continuing an association with the airline which goes back to the 1930s when Fougasse penned advertising posters for BA's forerunner, Imperial Airways. Good condition, creasing, staining. Country of issue: UK, designer: Fougasse (Cyril Kenneth Bird), size (cm): 30x21, year of printing: 1940s.

Duke of Buckingham at the French Island. Secretly discovered by W.H. an unfortunate Comander in that unfortunate service'. Sixteen page manuscript, head of first page inscribed Phillipps Ms 21172, London, Superfine paper (watermarked 1810). Two manuscripts which give contrasting accounts of the unsuccessful English expedition to capture the French fortress city of Saint-Martin-de-Re on the Isle of Re in 1627. After three months of siege, Buckingham was forced to withdraw and suffered heavy losses. The first account gives the 'official view' portraying Buckingham as a brave and pious commander adored by his troops, who 'did ride in the foremost company with such a courageous spiritt wch did so encourage the soldiours that they wished for nothing so much as to have an encounter with the enemy to show their love to the generall'. The campaign had generated a great deal of propaganda at home and in response, alternative and more authentic accounts were written by officers at Re. The second manuscript criticises the route taken by Buckingham and his abusive and arrogant approach to his officers. Various encounters with the enemy are described, giving details of the number of men lost. (5)

Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson A.R.A (1889-1946)Swooping Down on a Taube (Black 21; Leicester Galleries 28) Lithograph, 1917, on Holbein wove paper, signed in pencil, from the edition of 200, published by the Stationery Office, London, as part of the series Britain's Efforts and Ideals: Making Aircraft, with wide margins, framed Image 402 x 300mm. (15 3/4 x 11 3/4in.); Sheet 478 x 390mm. (18 3/4 x 15 3/8in.)Footnotes:Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson was one of the great printmakers of the early twentieth century, most celebrated as a chronicler of modern warfare and a master of multiple print techniques. He was held in high esteem by contemporaries such as Walter Sickert and Paul Nash for his acute eye for detail, feeling for composition and technical skill. His experiences as an ambulance driver and medical orderly at the Front imbued his work with a strong emotional intensity and his depictions are regarded as some of the most powerful images of World War I.His first major exhibition held at Leicester Galleries in Autumn 1916 was a critical and commercial success and would lead to his commission as an official war artist in 1917. The Ministry of Information commissioned him to create six lithographs on the theme of Building Aircraft to be included in the propaganda series The Great War: Britain's Efforts and Ideals. These works were taken on tour around the country to boost morale and were sold to raise funds for the war effort.The Building Aircraft lithographs detail the process from manufacture, to assembly and finally to flight. Nevinson was particularly interested in aerial combat, which would play an important new role during the First World War and he produced three images of aircraft in flight. In preparation for the series, Nevinson was taken on his first flight in June 1917 and commented 'the whole newness of vision and the excitement of it infected my work and gave it an enthusiasm which can be felt'.In Banking at 4,000 feet he uses variations in tone and steep diagonals to convey the drama and exhilaration of flight, which is literally a white-knuckle ride as indicated by the hand gripping the side of the aircraft. He invites the viewer to share the experience of being in the air by placing them in the cockpit.Swooping down on a Taube depicts a British Sopwith Camel attacking a German Taube. Taube means dove and the plane was named for its bird-like profile. Nevinson conveys a sense of movement and tension using the sweeping arc of the plane's trajectory set against the strong diagonals, representing rays of light, emanating from the searchlights below. He added scratch marks through the crayon to create highlights which intensify the drama.The immediacy of these images and the unusual viewpoints proved popular with visitors to the Fine Art Society exhibition, with one critic commenting that the artist 'contrives to make the visitor almost giddy' and another that he had 'the power of expressing sensations rather than visual facts'.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
French school, first half of the 18th century. "Battle with the Turks".Oil on canvas. Re-coloured. It has a stamp on the back. It has restorations.Measurements: 50 x 66,5 cm. The painting of battles is a common theme in the development of the history of art. This is largely due to the fact that it is a pictorial genre of historical character. Its purpose is linked to propaganda, that is to say, not only to the mere representation of a historical event but also to the virtues and values that they wanted to show to society, associated with that event. Furthermore, at the compositional level, the historical theme allowed for the depiction of figures in addition to landscape, i.e. it encompassed other genres in its representation. This is why it became one of the most widely recognised by the academy.
