JOHN BENJAMINS ANTIQUARIAAT - WEIL (Philippe Luiggi). Anti-Fascism. Antiquarian Periodicals Selected from Our Stock. Joint Catalogue No. 7. Amsterdam / Philadelphia, John Benjamins Antiquariaat - Paris, Librairie D. Weil, n.d. [circa 1995]. Large 4to, paperback, printed cover. An important bibliographic catalog bringing together a remarkable international selection of anti-fascist periodicals, newspapers, journals, and publications from the 1930s to 1945. Produced jointly by John Benjamins Antiquariaat and Librairie D. Weil, it describes several hundred publications from numerous countries in Europe and the Americas, devoted to the struggle against fascism, the Spanish Civil War, Resistance movements, intellectual organizations, and left-wing political networks. Each entry provides a complete bibliographic description, historical commentary, condition, bibliographic references, and the original selling prices. The catalog notably includes clandestine publications from France (L’Art Français), Spain, Argentina, Uruguay, and other periodicals that are now extremely rare, often illustrated with photomontages, political drawings, or propaganda engravings. A reference tool for 20th-century historians, bibliophiles, and collectors of old periodicals, this catalog also attests to the quality of the bibliographic work of John Benjamins Antiquariaat, whose specialized catalogs have themselves become highly sought after. A fine copy.
