[MEXICAN REVOLUTION - GUERRA DE LA FRONTERA] Various Photographers and PublishersBiblio.com

Archive of Eighty-two Photographic Images of the Mexican-American Border Wars in Texas California and Mexico 1908-1915

47618Various publishers & dates. Extensive photographic archive documenting events on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico Border during the Mexican Revolution focused primarily on the Border Wars in Texas and the Veracruz Incident of 1914 comprised entirely of contemporary images all but a few of which are original vintage prints. The collection includes: • Sixty-one commercially-produced real-photo postcards ca. 14cm x 9cm or the reverse; • Six commercially-printed postcards using non-photographic processes same dimensions; • Three carte-de-visite portraits ca 9cm x 6cm mounted to cards; • Eight small-format photographs ranging from 14cm x 8cm to 11cm x 16cm of which three appear to be commercial images; • Three 8x10 20cm x 25cm photographic prints printed at some later date from original plates but apparently not contemporary; • One vintage 4x6 10cm x 16cm photograph mounted on board. All but a dozen or so images are captioned in the negative and most are additionally captioned in pencil in a later hand on verso. Approximately half the images include no photo credit; of those that do we have identified the following photographers: W.H. Horne D.W. Hoffman Walter P. Hadsell Van Zile & Chalk and L.O. She. Condition is generally Very Good. Two of the photo postcards are damaged with abrasions to significant portions of image area; the remainder show various degrees of edge wear aging and creasing but by and large image quality remains excellent. None of the postcards are postally used though a few include brief contemporary notes on verso. The refusal of Mexican President Porfirio Dîaz to cede power to his rival Francisco Madero in the elections of 1910 resulted in a violent large-scale revolt by campesinos and leftists setting off the thirty-year long Mexican Revolution. American involvement in the conflict began in 1911 when President William H. Taft under the guise of heightening border security moved to back Díaz against the rebels. The resulting mobilization - Taft sent more than 20000 American troops nearly a quarter of all American forces to the Mexican border with especially heavy concentrations in Texas and New Mexico - was to that date the largest mobilization of American military forces in peacetime. At the same time many Americans whose sympathies were not aligned with the Díaz dictatorship including anarchists wobblies Native Americans and more than a few soldiers of fortune went south to fight on the side of the rebels. The resulting border conflict which took place over nearly a decade occasionally pitting American insurrectos against American Federal troops resulted in thousands of Mexican and hundreds of American deaths. The Border Wars reached their climax around the period 1912-1914 which happened to coincide with a near-hysterical vogue for postcards among the American public. The result is that the Mexican Revolution is perhaps the first major armed conflict to have been extensively photo-documented in real time and certainly the first to have had a significant mass audience for that documentation. At least three hundred commercial photographers have been identified in association with the Mexican Revolution and they produced tens of thousands of images ranging from the relatively innocuous e.g. peaceful street and harbor scenes in Veracruz to the horrific lynchings and sidewalk cremations. This entire range of content is represented in the current collection along with portraits of most of the key players on the Mexican side including El Presidente Porfirio Díaz; his primary rival and successor Francisco Madero; Madero's successor by coup Victoriano Huerta; and various military figures including General Juan Navarro Felipe Angeles Ramírez and numerous others. Many of these semi-professional images though produced with commercial intent "professional" remains a guarded term in the context of what was essentially battlefield exploitation photography are valuable for their almost off-hand depictions of violent day-to-day life on the contested border including the casual destruction and acceptance of death from both sides that seemed to define this conflict. Of particular note are numerous of photographs of African-American troops the so-called "Buffalo Soldiers" as well as at least one image depicting Native American soldiers in uniform. Locales represented include Camp Grossmont in California; El Paso and Laredo in Texas and their cross-border sister cities Juarez and Nuevo Laredo; Veracruz site of the American incursion of 1914 known as the "Veracruz Incident"; and various unidentified encampments and battle sites in both Texas and Mexico. A wide-ranging and compelling photographic collection documenting not only a key period in U.S. military diplomacy - one which for better or worse set the tone for American-Mexican relations for the succeeding century - but also a tangible manifestation of the first widespread public incarnation in America of the picture-postcard as a vehicle for both propaganda and photojournalism. unknown

Easton Press Masterpieces of American Literature complete set in 53 volumes

13734Norwalk CT: Easton Press 1980. Hardcover. Very good. 53 volumes illustrated. In the publisher's full leather in various sizes and colors. Silk endpapers all edges gilt silk ribbons etc. Please read carefully: Overall a very good set with some notable condition issues. This particular set sat in a bookcase undisturbed for decades. Some of the volumes perhaps 1/4 of them were exposed to sun for part of the day and thus show fading to the spine. Many volumes have varying levels of scuffing/spotting to the gilt edges see worst examples in images provided. Nearly all of the volumes have the previous owner's bookplate usually attached to a front blank page though sometimes on the endpapers. We noted one volume which shows a dampstain to the front endpapers though the exterior and interior are not visibly affected. Many volumes are quite fresh and lovely and they all look terrific on the shelf. Issued serially over several years the set is difficult to find complete. Unlike some of the larger sets done by Easton Press and Franklin Library this one will only require one smallish bookcase to display. An excellent sampling of American novels poetry and even some non-fiction Lewis and Clark's Journals writings of Lincoln and Jefferson etc. Please note that overseas postage will be costly perhaps prohibitively so.
