Author: VIERECK, George Sylvester
Title: 14 original wire photos 1934-1943.
Description: 14 newspaper wire photos. One stamped July 12, 1934, a second, a cutout of the same picture, from 1938. The others date from Oct. 10, 1941-March 26, 1943. Various sizes: most are 16,5 x 21,5 cm, the largest 28 x 20 cm. All photos have reverse stamps and text captions, some copied with the picture, some ditto-copied on paper pasted onto the reverse, as was usual with these utility photos that were sent by telephone from the press agency to newspapers. Some creasing and traces of use. George Sylvester Viereck (1884-1962) was a German born American sensation journalist, decadentistic novelist and poet, a Nazi sympathizer in the 30s and 40s, imprisoned 1942-1947 for his failure to register as a Nazi agent. These photos show him taking the oath before testifying at the Congressional hearing into Nazi activities in the U.S.A. (1934) and appearing before the Federal Court in 1941-1943. On several pictures he is seen to be escorted to a police van, apparently handcuffed, on his way to custody.
