Several books, some college texts for learning German/Deutsch, including a booklet I made of the dictionary in the back of the purple book in the middle so I wouldn't lose my place in the book when looking up a word.

All these (and more) need new homes as I'm going to a different country for an extended stay soon so send me a Flickr Mail message (access through the arrow that appears near my profile photo when mousing over it, or click on the little tan envelope that appears on my profile page) if interested.
Advertising for a satirical magazine with a euphemistic title meaning "Up Yours!" and highlighting the backends of rider and horse.
This window commemorates the young people of this former German Evangelical church in the Indian Village neighborhood.
Two British soldiers sitting on the ground, leaning against a brick building. They are both looking at a small booklet or pamphlet, and appear to be amused by what they are reading. The man on the right has a bandage wrapped around his head. The ground they are sitting on is dry and dusty, probably a welcome change from the mud that pervaded much of the Front. Painted on the building is the German word 'Ottskrankenstube' alongside a cross.
The nickname 'Tommy' entered into general usage after the Rudyard Kipling poems, 'Tommy' and 'To Thomas Atkins' (1892), which pay homage to the sturdy character of the average British soldier. It is possible this image, along with its light-hearted and condescending caption, was used as propaganda by the Government and Military. Injecting humour into the words people read and censoring the pictures people saw, deflected attention away from the negative and terrible aspects of war.

A German language version of the brochure that describes the new corporate identity of British Rail's Railfreight division that was introduced in 1987. The sector itself had been created in 1982 to better manage the freight traffic on the rail network.
The identities were based on the sub-sectors of the business, according to the nature of the product carried; coal, metal, aggregates, oil or petroleum, LPG, petro-chemicals, and construction materials. As well as the bold symbols for the sectors, depot plates were produced alongside an eyecatching new livery for the locomotives in the sector pool. The designs were produced, as was this brochure, by the graphic design concern of Roundel Design Group. The brochure was, I suspect, produced for the 1988 IVA industry exhibition held in Hamburg, Germany.
These pages - Ein Ausdruck einer neuen identität - an expression of a new identity shows a Class 47 diesel locomotive in BR's corporate livery and how treated in the new Railfreight identity.
Political graffiti, Western Front, during World War I. The wall of a ruined building, which is covered in graffiti. To the left it reads, ' ..ier gehts fur Kaiser und Reich' which could be translated as 'For king and country'. To the right, partly hidden by the wall, are the words, 'Gott straf[e?] Engl.', which could mean, ' May God punish England'.
This is an interesting example of a very direct form of propaganda and intimidation, but one which only occasionally survives in photographs. It is directly comparable to the use of sectarian graffiti on house walls in Belfast in the late twentieth century.
[Original reads: 'Hun humour.']

This detail from a stained glass window was installed in the church in 1912.. It is written in German to reflect the congregation's German-American heritage. The window was donated by the congregation's youth club and Sunday school.
