Organization Lotteries in Lithuania 1900–1940, Volume I
With a Personal Inscription by the Author Virgilijus Poviliūnas
A comprehensive historical and collectible publication dedicated to the lotteries organized by Lithuanian associations and organizations during the first half of the 20th century. The book is based on more than 40 years of the author's research, lottery ticket collection, archival materials, periodicals, museum collections, and other historical sources.
The first volume covers lotteries organized by the Lithuanian Riflemen’s Union, Firefighters’ Associations, the Lithuanian Aero Club (LAK), and the Lithuanian National Youth Union “Young Lithuania.” Richly illustrated with authentic lottery tickets, advertisements, posters, invitations, photographs, and historical documents, the book provides detailed information about ticket issues, prizes, organizational aspects, and the role of lotteries in interwar Lithuanian society.
While preparing this publication, the author reviewed thousands of newspapers and magazines and consulted museum and digital archive collections, making this book a valuable reference for historians, researchers, and collectors alike.
This particular copy is especially desirable because it contains a handwritten dedication and signature by the author on the title page, adding significant collectible value.
