18983455New York: Published at the Office of "Cuba" 1123 Broadway 1898. First edition. In original printed wrappers. Wrappers creased and dented; spine missing at bottom. Corners dog-eared. A few pages with wormholes not affecting text. Otherwise in very good condition. First edition. In original printed wrappers. 74 2 pp. <p><br /> Rare first edition of Spain's 1897 grant of autonomy to Cuba and Puerto Rico-its last failed attempt to retain the islands through reform and the first constitutional success for the Cuban and Puerto Rican autonomist movements.<br /> <p><p><br /> Issued by Cuban autonomist exiles in New York this publication presents the full English translation of the Royal Decree of November 25 1897 signed by Queen Regent María Cristina which established broad local self-government for Cuba and Puerto Rico. It is accompanied by political commentary from Eliseo Giberga a leader of the Cuban Autonomist Party and editorials from El País the party's principal newspaper in Havana. The decree promised legislative authority to elected insular parliaments universal male suffrage civil and political equality with mainland Spaniards and control over finance commerce education public works and internal justice while reserving military naval and foreign affairs to the Spanish central government. A unique provision among colonial constitutions preserved the islands' representation in the Spanish Cortes.<br /> <p><p><br /> Although hailed at the time as realizing "the dream of three generations of Cubans" the new constitutional system was overtaken by events. After the sinking of the USS Maine and the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898 Spain was forced to cede Puerto Rico to the United States and withdraw from Cuba rendering the newly granted autonomy largely theoretical. The political structure outlined in this decree was never fully implemented.<br /> <p><p><br /> The publication also offers comparative analysis asserting that the rights granted exceeded those enjoyed by Canadian provinces under the British North America Act of 1867 and in some respects by U.S. states. It preserves the vision of peaceful constitutional reform promoted by the Cuban Autonomist Party soon eclipsed by military occupation and the shift toward independence under American influence. <br /> <p><p><br /> This volume captures Spain's last liberal attempt to modernize its empire-a transitional political vision for Cuba and Puerto Rico that was quickly overtaken by war U.S. intervention and the collapse of Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and Pacific. It is also a key document in the history of Cuban constitutionalism and Puerto Rican political status.<br /> <p><p><br /> Rare particularly in original wrappers; only a handful of institutional holdings recorded. RBH lists only one copy sold in the past fifty years Sotheby's 2021.<br /> <p>. Published at the Office of "Cuba," 1123 Broadway unknown
18203330Mexico City: July 11 1820. About very good. Large double-sheet broadside approximately 23.5 x 17 inches. Two sheets joined at central horizontal fold. Five chips at left edge not affecting text and some additional minor edge wear; otherwise light toning and dust soiling. Two contemporary manuscript signatures at foot; contemporary duty stamps on blank verso. Fascinating and otherwise unrecorded broadside that dictates the organization and process for the 1820 election of Mexican deputies to the Spanish Cortes during the second and last period of constitutional monarchy in Mexico. Colonial Mexico first achieved some representation in the Spanish government under the liberal Constitution of 1812 which lasted for two years before being revoked by Ferdinand VII upon his return to power in 1814. The reinstatement of the liberal constitution and the Cortes of Cadiz in 1820 however was not enough to prevent Mexico from obtaining full independence one year later. This broadside promulgated in Mexico on July 11 1820 by the colonial Viceroy Juan Ruiz de Apodaca y Eliza announces the renewed representation via regional elections to select Provincial Deputies for the Cortes and contains eight articles delineating the process by which these elections are to be held. In brief these articles order representation be apportioned according to the population as approximated from the 1792 census; divides Mexico into provinces for the purposes of the election; and places parameters on representation for each province. In all a very interesting window onto the formation of the brief final period of Spanish colonial rule in Mexico. July 11 unknown

1898231301898. Spanish-American War stereoview archive circa 1898-1899 documenting how the war was pictured through mass-produced photographic views that followed U.S. mobilization battlefield action occupation and military life across both Cuba and the Philippines. These stereoviews preserves the visual system by which the war was circulated to American audiences showcasing camp organization troop movement burial hospital care naval power and overseas deployment. Particularly notable is the archive's coverage of the Rough Riders the Santiago campaign in Cuba and U.S. presence in Manila and Malate showing how stereoview photography helped normalize the war's expansion from anti-Spanish conflict into a broader American imperial presence.<br /> <br /> Archive of 21 stereoviews Various publishers. Spanish-American War stereoview archive. Cuba the Philippines and the United States circa 1898-1899. each measuring 3" x 7". The views are drawn from multiple phases and theaters of the war including camp and drill scenes in the United States embarkation and troop arrivals at Tampa battlefield and occupation imagery from Cuba and extensive and some grisly scenes from Manila and surrounding areas in the Philippines. Captions and images show soldiers in formation cavalry drill military reviews naval artillery hospital interiors encampments burial grounds and troops in active position. Cuban views include Morro Castle after bombardment dead and wounded on the battlefield of Santiago U.S. soldiers preparing to invade Cuba and troops dining near Cabañas Fortress. Philippine views include a departure for Manila American pickets routing a Filipino reconnoitering party the 18th Infantry engaged by Filipino outposts volunteers awaiting orders under the tropical sun Army Hospital Manila and "Our Boys in Camp at Malate P.I." One stereoview identifies Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the mobilization phase linking the archive to one of the war's most publicly mythologized units.<br /> <br /> As a group the stereoviews demonstrate the process by which the Spanish-American War was framed not simply as a short military victory over Spain but as a sustained structure of U.S. troop deployment and occupation extending from Cuba into the Philippines. The Manila and Malate scenes are especially important in this regard since they place American soldiers within the opening phase of the Philippine conflict where U.S. military presence quickly moved beyond liberation rhetoric into imperial control. The archive's mixture of battlefield casualties camp routine naval spectacle and celebratory review scenes shows how stereoscopic publishing converted war into a domestic viewing experience while reinforcing the legitimacy of American expansion abroad. Wear to mounts some toning; overall very good condition. A strong cross-theater visual archive of the Spanish-American War and the emergence of U.S. imperial power in Cuba and the Philippines. unknown

1836231491836. Diario Constitucional de Santiago de Cuba No. 57 November 1836 just months after the restoration of Spain's liberal Constitution of 1812. This newspaper records the transmission of Spanish constitutional government into eastern Cuba in late 1836 through decrees ministerial correspondence and public political dispute printed for circulation in Santiago de Cuba. Issued weeks after the political upheavals that restored constitutional rule in Spain this number shows how the language of the regency government the suppression and reorganization of state bodies and local declarations of loyalty to Isabel II reached colonial readers through the newspaper press. In a Cuban setting where metropolitan policy was filtered through governors ministries and municipal elites an issue such as this preserves the working connection between imperial administration and provincial print.<br /> <br /> Diario Constitucional de Santiago de Cuba. No. 57. Santiago de Cuba 27 November 1836. 4 pages. Folio newspaper issue. The masthead reads "DIARIO CONSTITUCIONAL / DE SANTIAGO DE CUBA" with the date line "DOMINGO 27 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 1836." Page 1 opens with "MINISTERIO DE LA GOBERNACION DEL REINO" followed by a circular and a substantial "EXPOSICION A LA REINA GOBERNADORA" leading into a "REAL DECRETO" concerning the suppression of the Consejo Real de España e Indias. Interior pages continue the decree and carry translatedly legible sections including "MISCELANEA" notices on "Las islas turcas libres" and "Noticias sobre Tejas" and a long exchange under "REMITIDOS" dated "Cuba 25 de Noviembre de 1836" addressing militia service volunteers of Isabel II and the political insult attributed to an earlier subscriber. The issue survives as a complete four page folio with dense double column text throughout and no wrappers as issued.<br /> <br /> Printed in Santiago the issue shows constitutional and monarchist language being adapted for a colonial audience that was expected to follow ministry decrees military loyalty and debates over public honor in the same sheet.

The juxtaposition of metropolitan government text Caribbean and Atlantic news and the local controversy printed in "Remitidos" gives the number a documentary range broader than a routine official gazette placing state policy beside the contested language of provincial political life. unknown
