Das Judentum im Kriege
AU$650 Read MoreAdd to cartEdmund Daniek
Wien: Deutschnationale Vereinigung, 1919.Early interwar Austrian antisemitic tract. Daniek, a journalist and functionary of the Christlichsoziale Partei (CSP), wrote it as a central document of Christian Social antisemitism, and the party deployed it specifically against the Austrian Social Democrats in the February 1919 “Fluchtlings-Nationalratswahlkampf”, the first of the Republic’s so-called “refugee election campaigns”. It was used again in the May 1919 Vienna municipal election and the October 1920 National Council election. The pamphlet’s central argument was an antisemitic conspiracy theory portraying Austrian Jews who had fled Galicia and Bukovina during WWI as responsible for Austria’s wartime social and economic crisis, and it advocated a visible and aggressive attack on the Jewish population. A primary source for organised antisemitic politics in the immediate post-war Austrian Republic.

AU$2,000 Read MoreAdd to cartOlga Desmond; Fritz Bohme
Leipzig: Breitkopf & Hartel, 1919.Desmond’s method of choreographic transcription intended as a basis for the self-study of dance, edited by Fritz Bohme. Desmond began performing as a living statue in 1906 and went on to broadly promote performing nude on stage, progressing from posed representations of classical figures to dance. Her early career attracted considerable controversy and debate, though she always defended her performances as high art. This dedication to the form remained evident throughout her later career as a dance teacher in Berlin, and the present work is an early example of her methods. One of 150 numbered copies, signed by Desmond at the end of the preface, with nude photographic portrait frontispiece, and 8 plates of dance notation in a rear pocket.
