[LUDWIGH, E.]. A Plea in Support of Hungarian Territorial Integrity advocating an United States of Hungary. Published under the auspices of the Hungarian territorial integrity league [wrapper title]. Geneva, printed by Albert Kundig, 1919.
8vo. Original printed wrappers (frayed margins; preserved by backing with acid-free paper); pp. 36, even light browning due to paper stock.
Very rare fist edition, with two copies located, in the Hoover Institute and at Yale. 'There was a big irredentist movement in Hungary after Trianon (still is), and these people would have been trying to influence the outcome of the peace talks at the time … an interesting, if rather awful, passage of Hungarian history (Mark Baczoni, via email). This pressure group dreamt of a Greater Hungary, based on Hungary after the Ausgleich of 1867, which had dominated the Eastern half of K. u. K. in imperialist fashion and suppressed ethnic and linguistic minorities.
