Description

Poster by Gaston Ry [aka René Rostagny] (1902-1978) showing the allied manouvres in Tunesia.
On May 4, 1943, the nineteenth CA offensive drew most of the German tanks to Zaghouan allowing the success of the 6th and 7th of May by the British Infantry Divisions. The French general Koeltz's intention is to defeat the enemy north of the British 7th Army. The poster is showing the French, America, British manouveres from May 6th until May 13, 1943, marking the capitulation of the Enemy Forces. Showing Zahouan Mountains and troups of Goering and Pfeiffer markd by the Third Reich flags.

Louis Marie Koeltz, (1884-1970) is a French general of the Second World War, as well as a military historian.
At June 26, 1940 he was appointed head of the Armistice Services Branch. From summer 1940 to 1941, Koeltz is in Vichy. On September 15, 1941, he was appointed commander of the 19th military region in Algiers, within the French forces of North Africa commanded by General Juin.
The poster is showing the battle field on 7 to 14 May, 1942.
On November 8, as US forces landed in North Africa, Koeltz, who refused to join the Allies, was arrested during the night by Colonel Jousse, the head of his staff's 3rd office. He was released after a few hours to participate in the Franco-American negotiations in the evening: the cease-fire was signed on 10 November at 10 am.

The value of any rare book, atlas, globe, print, or map is affected by many factors: its rarity, condition, binding, provenance, and the significance of any inscriptions it may contain. Béatrice Loeb-Larcque, an expert and member of the Syndicat Français des Experts Professionnels en Œuvres d'Art et Objets de Collection, provides a free appraisal if you are considering selling. We provide auction estimates based on photographs sent via the Internet. These estimates are not for valuation purposes and are subject to revision upon inspection of the object. It is impossible to provide verbal estimates by telephone, nor can we respond to requests sent without a photo.
There is no easy answer to this question. Some books or maps have, without question, appreciated considerably in value over the years.
Others have remained steadily desirable without seeing a significant rise in price, and still others can be purchased for little money but give great personal satisfaction.
Librairie Loeb-Larocque, with 60 years of experience in the rare map and book trade, can help you decide what kind of collection you would like to build.
