The Spanish Civil War archive of Jan Winter (1907-1991), a Polish-born Jewish journalist who worked as a war correspondent for the Spanish Republic's press agency and as a reporter for various communist and anti-fascist French, Polish, and German-language publications throughout the conflict. Spain: circa 1936-1939. This large, compelling, and, until now, unseen journalistic archive includes contemporary photographs, typed dispatches for news articles, a notebook, various documents, correspondence, and more. It provides a fascinating eyewitness account of the Spanish Republican war effort, the war's atrocities, and civilian life in wartime, as well as a view into the important role that reporters, armed with the powerful and relatively new medium of photo-journalism, played in the fight against fascist propaganda, furthering anti-fascist sentiment among their international audiences. The archive comprises:
Photographs of the Spanish Civil War. A group of approximately 306 contemporary photographs, consisting of originals, some likely unpublished and taken by Winter, as well as press photos, and a small group of related photographic postcards. Many have captions and official press agency or news publication ink stamps on their versos. The photographs show wartime atrocities, urban destruction, battles, protests, and celebrations; also pictured are soldiers at the front, in training, and at rest, officers, politicians, public figures, and civilians, as well as Jan Winter himself in various settings, and more. Of special note are the photographs of the aftermath of a particularly bloody and destructive bombardment in Barcelona, as well as bombardments in Madrid (showing the destroyed Hospital de San Carlos), Guernica, and San Sebastian, urban fighting during the siege of Madrid, the front lines of the Battles of Irun and Ebro, images of the various battalions, including the skiing "Fuerzas alpinas," protests Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona after the February 16, 1936 general election, as well as public figures such as Gabriel Garcia Lorca. The largest print measures 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 inches, though most are around 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches. The condition varies, the prints curling, minor edgewear from handling, a few with stains, creases, tears, or small losses, some remnants of adhesives, labels, and album leaves.
Jan Winter's dispatches from the Spanish Civil War. Housed in a contemporary store-bought stiff card folder, marked "Winter" on the front cover in red crayon. Sheet sizes vary but are generally around 10 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches; Approximately 99 leaves of typewritten journalistic dispatches, written in Spanish, German, Polish, and French, mostly dated and with the name of the intended publication, typed on one side only of onionskin paper, a few on thicker stock, or smaller-sized paper for telegraphs, occasionally with manuscript annotations or corrections, some of the multi-page texts with staples or paperclips in corners, some with official ink stamps from censors or press agencies. The articles cover the siege of Madrid, bombings in Almeria, reports from a hospital in Valencia, the Battle of Malaga, interviews with Republican soldiers and partisans, transcripts of soldiers' letters to and from home, reports of prison life in Valencia, the siege of the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza, and more. Together with a copy of the newspaper "Diari Official de la Generalitat de Catalunya," dated November 22, 1938. Varying amounts of wear from handling, some leaves with stains, tears, folds, losses, toning, and some of the leaves are insect-damaged to varying degrees.
Notebook from the Spanish Civil War years. Orange card covers with two metal rings through hole punches.8 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches; 44 leaves of notes in Polish, mostly handwritten in ink, but with two typewritten leaves. The boards are lightly soiled, the rings oxidizing, the contents generally fine but with light toning, a few short marginal tears, and some minor staining.
A group of correspondence, documents, pamphlets, ephemera, and more. The correspondence comprises about 20 letters to Jan Winter, many from various left-wing news publications regarding his work as a journalist, some from the Spanish Ministry of State providing press authorization, and a few personal letters. The publications include El Socialista, Barcelona, Naje Folkscatjung, Warsaw, Federation Syndicale Internationale, Paris, and more. Together with a group of Winter's official documents and passports, including his Spanish Passport, his Portuguese and his French identity cards, various press passes, a Russian bank book, and a $10 check from Esquire-Coronet, Inc. marked for "Faked Spanish War Pix." And with, a group of four left-wing pamphlets; a folding regional map of Spain; a group of postcards with Republican propagandist illustrations; a later copy of "The Atlantic" magazine featuring a painting belonging to Winter on the cover; an extensive group of official U.S. documents and correspondence recording Winter's 1940 emigration and eventual naturalization as a U.S. citizen; and a 106 pp. photocopied transcript of a memoir by Winter mostly about his youth in Poland. Varying degrees of wear, letters with old folds, some separating or detached along the folds, the documents and pamphlets with general soiling and wear from handling.

NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle will present an auction of Rare Books, Autographs & Maps on Friday, April 11, 2025 at 10am. The sale includes an extensive collection of illustrated books and fine bindings, many from a private collection purchased at auction in the 1970s and off the market until the present time. Here are copies of the first edition of Nerciat’s erotic classic Le Diable au Corps, and an early and curiously illustrated edition of the exceedingly naughty Academie des Dames. From the same collection comes a splendid Levitzky binding with batik endpapers on a work illustrated by Georges Barbier, with an original watercolor by the master. Many finely bound sets are featured in the sale, most notably an exceptionally luxurious set of Charles Dickens, one of 15 copies bound in sixty volumes, in superb red levant morocco with onlays.
As usual, the sale includes a selection of interesting maps and atlases, such as a copy of Turgot’s 1734 bird’s eye plan of Paris, and a finely colored celestial map by Andreas Cellarius. Additionally, there is a sizable group of globes and instruments in the auction, including a pair of 15-inch library globes and a 20-inch celestial globe by Cary, as well as three English pocket globes, a “dissected” paper globe, and a collection of rare pocket-sized navigational instruments and sundials, notably an exquisite 17th century silver “Butterfield” type sundial by the Parisian instrument maker Pierre Sevin.
One lot that bears special note is the Latin grammar owned by the young Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, used by him while studying for his baccalaureate examination. In this, the artist has penned hundreds of tiny ink sketches, ranging from studies of horses to caricatured faces. Toulouse-Lautrec was 16 to 17 years old at the time, and his genius was just starting to declare itself, evident in the precocious studies of horses in this work, which make the annotations far more compelling than mere juvenalia.
Also, in the auction are selections of Americana, travels and voyages, and a wide range of early printing. In this last category, a complete copy of Graevius’s great 1722 work on Venice is offered, the Splendor Magnificentissimae Urbis Venetiarum Clarissimus with the two large folding plates of the city and all the double-page views of piazzas and palazzos.
