1983WRCLIT57638Barcelona: Albert Ferrer 1983. 191pp. Folio 45 x 33.5 cm. Folded and gathered bifolia laid into cloth-backed printed board folder with ribbon tie. About fine. First edition. Illustrated with five original full-page aquatints by Garzon Florez and a quarter panel woodcut in sepia by him on the upper board of the folder. The title-leaf has two additional decorative figures stamped in blind. One of forty-five numbered copies of fifty with the aquatints and the colophon numbered and signed by the artist who has also signed the upper board of the folder. Ferrer's work as a fine printer was singled out for mention in the March 1984 issue of CONNOISSEUR and in the May/June issue of AMERICAN BOOK COLLECTOR. Apart from his lavish 1987 limited edition of the Barcelona Columbus letter of 1493 with additional material featuring lithographs and etchings by Juan Antonio Roda and co-published with the New York Public Library Ferrer's work is poorly represented in American institutional collections.

First published in 1840 "Voyage en Icarie" presented in novelistic form the theories of Cabet's Icarian movement in which "society.placed all economic activity under the guidance and control of elected officials and made the family the only other politically influential unit" Richard C.S. Trahair "Utopias and Utopians" 1999 p. 199. By the year of the Revolution of 1848 and the publication of this edition there were some 400000 Icarians in France a handful of whom established a community in Denton County Texas Cabet joining them shortly after in 1850. The Icarians suffered in Texas their numbers far fewer than they had hoped for after the fall of Louis Philippe and the rise of the Second Republic. Furthermore most members chose to reside in New Orleans and the land alloted them was not the million acres they had been promised but two disparate tracts totallying only 10000 acres see Robert S. Fogarty "Dictionary of American Communal and Utopian History" 1980 p. 147. Upon Cabet's arrival in the United States the group now totalling only 200 migrated to Nauvoo Illinois which had recently been evacuated by the Mormons. After a short period of prosperity schisms errupted and by 1856 Cabet and his followers had formed a splinter group moving on to Cheltenham Missouri where Cabet died shortly thereafter.
