Broadside. This 1943 wartime broadside features the text of the Atlantic Charter, designed by W. A. Dwiggins, printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office, and issued by the U.S. Office of War Information. The 28 x 20 inches (71.1 x 50.8 cm) broadside is creased once vertically and thrice horizontally to produce eight panels, presumably for original distribution. The broadside is clean and complete, never framed or hung judging from the folds and absence of any tack holes or evidence of mounting. Negligible wear appears confined to extremities and a tiny hole at the intersection of the vertical and first horizontal fold (conveniently hidden in the "r" of "their" in the fifth line). Condition is very good, certainly framable. America s wartime propaganda agency, the Office of War Information (OWI), was founded by President Roosevelt s Executive Order on 13 June 1942 and dissolved in August 1945. OWI s mandate to sustain patriotic fervor exemplified the uneasy relationship between democratic ideals and wartime necessity. In the words of an OWI spokesman, OWI posters helped ensure that " every man, woman and child should be reached and moved by the message." In designing this OWI broadside, American typographer, book designer, and illustrator William Addison Dwiggins (1880-1956) joined a cadre of prominent artists, including Norman Rockwell, Ben Shahn, and James Montgomery Flagg, who contributed to OWI efforts. Dwiggins used a style that echoes historic proclamations, fitting for a document containing some of the most aspirational words of the twentieth century. In August 1941, British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill braved the Battle of the Atlantic to voyage by warship to Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, where he secretly met with U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Their agenda included setting constructive goals for the post-war world, even as the struggle against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan was still very much undecided and the U.S. had yet to formally enter the war. The eight principles to which they agreed became known as the Atlantic Charter. "That it had little legal validity did not detract from its value Coming from the two great democratic leaders of the day the Atlantic Charter created a profound impression on the embattled Allies a message of hope and the promise of a world organization based on the enduring verities of international morality." (UN) In addition to encapsulating the Allies postwar aspirations and catalyzing formation of the United Nations, the Atlantic Charter testified to the remarkable personal relationship between FDR and Churchill. "Support for the principles of the Atlantic Charter came from a meeting of ten governments in London shortly after Mr. Churchill returned from his ocean rendezvous. This declaration was signed on September 24 by the USSR and the nine governments of occupied Europe: Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Yugoslavia and by the representatives of General de Gaulle, of France." Nonetheless, Atlantic Charter principles were remote from the realities of war in August 1941. Even after Newfoundland, to Churchill s frustration, America had still "made no commitments and was no nearer to war than before the ship board meeting." (Gilbert, VI, p.1176) In his live broadcast from Chequers on August 24, Churchill modestly introduced the Atlantic Charter thus: " a simple, rough-and-ready war-time statement of the goal towards which the British Commonwealth and the United States mean to make their way " Not until December 1941, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, did America formally enter the war and not until October 1945 was the United Nations established, embodying the lofty principles of the Atlantic Charter. Even then, the Cold War was already nascent, ensuring that a geo-political reality based on those noble principles would remain as remote as it was in Placentia Bay in August 1941. As it remains today.

Paper. Condición: Very good. Original Government Printing Office poster of The Atlantic Charter by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill. Ilustrador. First Issue. Black and white poster, measures 20" x 28". Stated "U.S. Government Printing Office: 1943-O-517133" on bottom right corner. Light wear to edges, small tear to right side, original folds present as expected, reinforced with tape on verso. A very good example of this World War II broadside. The Atlantic Charter was a joint statement released on August 14, 1941 by the United States and the United Kingdom to share the vision they had for the world after the end of World War II. Roosevelt and Churchill agreed upon the listed items at the Atlantic Conference held in Newfoundland between August 9-12 of 1941. The Charter influenced many international agreements and events postwar, including the ending of the British Empire, the creation of NATO, and improvements to international trade through the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

Roosevelt To South America And The Inter-American Conference For The Maintenance Of Peace, Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 18 November 1936 until 15 December 1936. Ilustrador. First Edition. Octavo, x, 63pp, [1], [map]. Blue cloth, naval device in gilt on front cover. Frontispiece portrait of the U.S.S. Indianapolis. Lacking scarce glassine dust jacket, which features a spider web design. (Halter, 191) Includes fold-out map of South America. Provenance: From the estate of Roosevelt Secret Service Agent Paul M. Hart, who accompanied Roosevelt on the cruise to South America. While these were printed by the Government Printing Office, all expenses were covered by the Roosevelt family. None were offered for public sale. This copy is one of three known examples, including a signed copy from the Paul Hart collection and a copy in the Library of Congress. The "Good Neighbor" mission to South America set sail on November 18, 1936 from Charleston aboard the U.S.S. Indianapolis (CA-35). The cruise took Roosevelt to Trinidad, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. During the visit, he attended the Pan-American Conference in Buenos Aires and returned to the United States on December 15, 1936. The USS Indianapolis served with distinction during World War II, delivering the first nuclear weapon, "Little Boy," to the Tinian Naval Base. Only days later, the Indianapolis would be sunk by Japanese torpedoes, resulting in the greatest loss of life in United States naval history.

President Franklin Roosevelt was an avid collector of miniature books, a hobby which began in the 1890s and continued throughout his presidency. A complete list of his collection does not exist, since the books were located at the White House, Hyde Park and Campobello Island. After his death in 1945, his collection was divided up between members of the family and the National Park Service at Hyde Park. The first part of the collection was sold at auction in 1951 by Hammer Galleries of New York. At the estate sale for Eleanor Roosevelt in 1964, additional miniature books were sold at auction.

Oblong. 210x278mm. 32 leaves, with 31 black and white photographs pasted in. Each photograph has printed captions (text in Spanish) pasted onto the bottom edge. The first leaf has the title details, printed on white paper, pasted in. Each photograph has a glassine protective sheet. Contemporary string bound album covered in maroon cloth and stamped with the name of the owner "Mervyn F. Ryan" on the upper cover with "Ahora Periodico Illustrado" stamped at bottom right corner. Some slight rubbing to extremities and wear to corners but otherwise very good and in excellent condition internally with the photographs especially well preserved. This album (or anything like) seems to be unrecorded and we have found nothing similar in the auction records. This fascinating collection of is a rare photographic record of the signing of the Atlantic Charter by Roosevelt and Churchill. It was produced by the Argentinian illustrated periodical Ahora. This was a news magazine and these photographs are enlarged versions, printed on good quality gloss photographic paper, of the pictures used in a series of issues of the magazine between 22nd August and 5th September 1941. There is little staged about these images and they have the immediacy of a true journalistic record. Unsurprisingly, Roosevelt and Churchill feature heavily they were the two big beasts, Churchill holding the line in Europe and Roosevelt playing a very delicate domestic game with American public opinion but there is a strong sense of the broader picture with lots of other figures contributing to the bustle and urgency of a major diplomatic conference. The Atlantic Conference took place between 9th-12th August 1941 at the US Naval Base Argentia in Newfoundland and the declaration, issued as a statement rather than as a written document, was made on 14th August. Although it was, in a sense, merely one of a number of similar declarations and agreements made that year (the Anglo-Soviet Agreement Evelyn Waugh's "day of apocalypse for all the world" - had been signed the previous month), the Atlantic Charter (the name was coined by a British newspaper and it stuck) had a greater immediate impact and has had a longer lasting effect. Arguably it led to Pearl Harbour, the Japanese interpreting it as an act of aggression; its call for national self-determination set the ball of decolonization rolling; and it laid the foundations for NATO and the United Nations. A new world order was emerging. The recipient of this album, given to him, we assume, by Ahora magazine, was Mervyn Ryan, an engineer who worked in railways in America, Britain, India and Argentina. He was in Argentina for most of his working life, latterly advising the Argentine government on the management of the previously British-owned railways. With fingers in lots of pies, and a prominent member of the British community in Buenos Aries, the editors of Ahora no doubt thought that Ryan was the right audience for this specially produced record of a major political event.
