Originally the son of an impoverished Russian nobleman, he joined to Socialist cause early. He followed the party line from Leninism to Stalinism, and was a central part of dehumanising Stalin's political opponents through to the anti Nazi campaign in the second world war. 175 pages. 31cm x 23cm.

If so, this was some time ago, as a small old gilt bookseller's label is on the end paper. 32pp. 260 by 390mm (10¼ by 15¼ inches).

    A parody of someone who wants to be more than he is - and taking France as wanting to be more English that England. Mac-Aron indulges in horse racing, boxing, polo, horseback riding and finally hunting with amusing results. Bel exemplaire de cette première édition d'ouvrage de caricature politique. 32 planches illustrées à pleine page (titre compris) dont 8 en couleurs. Il y a une autre plaque de couleur inclinée sur le panneau avant. Les planches sont propres, avec un peu de noircissement/rousseur à la plaque. Quelques frottements avec perte de surface sur le panneau arrière. Intérieurement propre et bien rangé. La page de titre a quelques assombrissements / salissures, et il y a quelques légères taches de rousseur, mais dans l'ensemble en très bon état. Les papiers de garde et les contrecollages sont peut-être renouvelés, il se peut donc qu'une restauration ait eu lieu. Si oui, c'était il y a quelque temps, car une petite étiquette dorée de libraire se trouve sur le papier de garde. 32pp. 260 par 390 mm.

    Une parodie de quelqu'un qui veut être plus qu'il n'est - et prenant la France comme voulant être plus anglaise que l'Angleterre. Mac-Aron s'adonne aux courses hippiques, à la boxe, au polo, à l'équitation et enfin à la chasse avec des résultats amusants.

    Paris: NP, 1968. A large (40 cm x 29.5cm) black and white silver print / silver gelatin photograph of a Paris wall in May 1968. The photograph shows a poster of Hitler hiding behind a mask of Charles de Gaulle. He is wearing the Cross of Lorraine as his armband. (The Free French forces in world war 2, under de Gaulle, had used this symbol). This is pinned over a background which states "CRS SS" multiple times. The CRS (compagnies républicaines de sécurité) was the National Reserve Force to deal with strikes and demonstrations. In fact this slogan dates back to 1948 when the CRS was first formed. The wall also shows a hand written sign for a manifestation in the evening of the 19th at St Lazare. Public demonstrations were often (and are still often) held in the space in front of the St Lazare station. This is almost certainly a large print of a reportage / press photograph of the time. In red ink to the reverse is written "68." The central poster was used in the 1968 student riots, and although we have been unable to trace this photograph, there is an "internet ghost" of it, which states it was taken in May 1968. Condition is excellent, with no significant marks or dirt to it.

    . Grande photographie argentique noir et blanc (40 cm x 29,5 cm) d'un mur de Paris en mai 1968. La photographie montre une affiche d'Hitler cachée derrière un masque de Charles de Gaulle, qui porte la Croix de Lorraine en guise de brassard. Ce dernier porte la Croix de Lorraine en guise de brassard (les forces françaises libres de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, sous la direction de de Gaulle, avaient utilisé ce symbole). Le tout est épinglé sur un fond où l'on peut lire plusieurs fois « CRS SS ». Les CRS (compagnies républicaines de sécurité) étaient la force de réserve nationale chargée de gérer les grèves et les manifestations. En fait, ce slogan remonte à 1948, date de la création des CRS. Le mur montre également une pancarte écrite à la main pour une manifestation dans la soirée du 19 à St Lazare. Les manifestations publiques étaient souvent (et sont encore souvent) organisées dans l'espace devant la gare St Lazare. Il s'agit très certainement d'un grand tirage d'un reportage ou d'une photographie de presse de l'époque. Au verso, on peut lire « 68 » à l'encre rouge. L'affiche centrale a été utilisée lors des émeutes étudiantes de 1968, et bien que nous n'ayons pas été en mesure de retrouver cette photographie, il existe un « fantôme internet » de celle-ci, qui indique qu'elle a été prise en mai 1968. L'état de l'affiche est excellent, elle ne présente aucune marque ou salissure significative.

Special attention is paid to the innovations that marked the 1987 campaign, including the celebrated Kinnock party election broadcast, the computerisation of constituency electioneering, equal broadcasting time for the three main parties, the eruption of constituency polling, and the TV 87 campaign for tactical voting.
