RUMPFF, Clementine Louise, Fragments from the Diary of a German Lady, during the Franco Prussian War 1870 – 1871. Madame Rumpff's Diary of War of 1870-71, Vol. I, 133 pages; Vol II, 139 pages; and, Vol. III, 112 pages. A manuscript in three matching lined composition notebooks, 22.5 cm x 17cm, with marbled pasteboard covers and cloth spines, ink on paper, written mostly in English, with a few German and French quotations.

The fourth daughter of Franz Karl Rumpff, Staff Captain of the German Army, born at Frankfurt 11/23/1825 - 12/19/98, Clementine Louise Rumpff was created Baroness von Bratiano, of Bratiano, near Krajova, Roumania, on May 12, 1872, by the German Emperor and King of Prussia, William I, "In virtue of her noble Ancestry, and in consideration of the valuable Services she has rendered to the Fatherland, shall be henceforth authorized, to adopt in addition to her Family Name the Title and Rank of Freifrau (Baroness) von Bratiano." This is the diary of a cultured and high-born lady, born to a lifestyle that prepared her to apply the administrative and management skills she learned growing up in a large household with numerous retainers, many with task-specific positions. In addition, her aristocratic pedigree gave her access to the royal families of England and Germany from childhood. She received the Iron Cross from the King of Prussia for her nursing work at Versailles. Mme Rumpff's access to the highest levels of German society made her a natural choice for clandestine intelligence missions into Paris during the ceasefire of February 1871. Her detailed reports went to Otto von Bismarck, with whom she had direct and frequent contact and also in the presence of the King-Emperor. The accounts she gave of the early days of the Commune are gripping. The text of "To the Inhabitants of Paris," signed by A. Thiers, Jules Favre and Ernest Picard, is given in full, telling the Parisians what they must do to prolong the Armistice. Mme Rumpff's piety and selfless desire are both evident. She was a patriot and a strong woman who lived her faith by helping wounded soldiers, doing what she believed was the Lord's work. Please contact us for a full and detailed description.

Description:
Hardcover. A unique look at human sexuality and literary Romantic love in the early part of the twentieth century during the colonial and modernist eras. As noted by the famous French philosopher Michel Foucault in his "repressive hypothesis," the age of Victorian repression clearly produced non-traditional expressions of lust. The epistolary consists of an original diary and correspondence between two lovers from 1912 to approximately 1916. It is written primarily in English with some excerpts in Italian. The primary diarist is presumed to be an Italian officer during the colonial era of the early 20th century involving Italy, Britain and the "Mad Mullah" in the Benadir region of East Africa. The other correspondent is probably a British lady living in Tuscany at the time. The epistolary includes more than one hundred original drawings of various sexual acts, most of which are in color and include detailed descriptions of the scenes depicted. Some images are watercolors, some pastels, and others are… Read More
