In -folio, 2 voll., pp. (4), VIII, 1-224, (2), 223-244, 70 tavv. a colori; (4), XLIX, 464, tela con tassello e titolo al dorso. Sontuosa edizione completa di 70 litografie che riproducono, a colori, il cosiddetto “Codice Troano”, uno dei pochi manoscritti superstiti della lingua maya. Si tratta di uno dei primi cospicui tentativi di decodificare la scrittura della civiltà precolombiana: Brasseur (1814-1874) vi si dedicò per oltre cinque anni con passione, diligenza e competenza ma, purtroppo, partendo dallo sbagliato presupposto che i codici riproducessero un alfabeto fonetico, convinzione che derivava da un metodo cinquecentesco messo a punto da Diego de Landa, monaco spagnolo che sarebbe diventato vescovo dello Yucatàn. La tavola comparativa tra alfabeto latino e caratteri maya era inaffidabile. In base alla decrittazione di questo codice, fra l’altro, si ipotizzò la suggestiva descrizione del continente perduto di Mu, mitica terra collocata nel Pacifico. Il lavoro di Brasseur avrebbe avuto un corso scientifico molto limitato, e la sua teoria fu smentita entro la fine del secolo, ma una serie di miti costruiti sulle sue presunte scoperte, fra tutti proprio quello della terra di Mu, hanno avuto corso fino a oggi in ambito parascientifico e in numerose suggestioni letterarie. La pubblicazione fa parte di una serie di opere commissionate da Napoleone III (“Mission scientifique au Méxique”) intese allo studio del Sud America. A luxury edition, complete of 70 lythographies reproducing, in colors, the so said “Troano codex”, one of the few manuscripts survived to Maya civilization’s destruction. This is one of the first attempts to decipher their writing: Brasseur (1814-1874) studied the matter for five years but he was wrongly convinced that the codex was reproducing a phonetic alphabet. The myth of “Mu” land results from this erroneus interpretation. The publication is part of a collection of works about South America commissioned by Napoleon the III.

1937SPANISHC002314Left Review London. 1937. First edition. Royal octavo. 24 pages. Wrappers. A publication arising from a letter signed by twelve European writers prominent in Europe including Aragon W.H. Auden Nancy Cunard Heinrich Mann Pablo Neruda Ramon Sender Tristan Tzara etc. The letter was addressed to the writers of England Scotland Ireland and Wales and asked whether they were for or against the government of Republican Spain. Somehow Ezra Pound got involved he was neutral in a combative kind of way: ''Spain is an emotional luxury to a gang of sap-headed dilettantes''. The majority of responses were in favour and these include messages from Samuel Beckett ''�Up the Republic!'' - almost the shortest contribution Kay Boyle Thomas Burke Cyril Connolly Aleister Crowley C. Day Lewis Liam O'Flaherty Ford Madox Ford David Gascoyne Victor Gollancz Laurence Housman Aldous Huxley C.L.R. James Arthur Koestler John Lehmann Rose Macaulay ''AGAINST FRANCO'' - the shortest contribution Hugh Macdiarmid Louis MacNeice John Middleton Murry Sylvia Pankhurst V.S. Pritchett Herbert Read Olaf Stapledon Sylvia Townsend Warner Clough Williams-Ellis etc etc. In the neutral camp were Vera Brittain Robert Byron T.S. Eliot H.G. Wells V. Sackville-West etc. Only five messages are in the ''Against'' section including ones from Edmund Blunden Arthur Machen and Evelyn Waugh. The following year a similar exercise was carried out in America where 418 writers gave their opinions. This pamphlet has also been the inspiration for questionnaires on the Vietnam War and even the Falklands War.Foxing mostly light on almost every page. Covers lightly stained. Spine starting to split.

Chiesino S.A. di Buenos Aires. 8vo. pp. 14. . Ottimo (Fine). . Prima ed. di 29 es. numerati e firmati dall'A.. . Empujan, en fin, vientos de libertad marina a la poesía de Rafael Alberti llevándola a explorar todos los espacios de la historia, de la mitología o de la experiencia humana: ''Yo te miraba, oh Cádiz, bahía de los mitos / ... / Canas de antigüedad, tus estelares fábulas, / tus solares historias, / oh gaditano mar de los perdidos / Atlantes, vesperales jardines de la espuma, / islas desvanecidas del Ocaso!'' Los pobres pescadores que salen del Guadalete hacia el mar son los mismos que arribaban a Tarsis en busca de oro y plata y estaño. El mar resume la historia y el mar compendia el sueño. &iquest;Qué escenario mejor podría soñarse para el encuentro amoroso de Venus y Príapo que el escenario del mar de Cádiz? Uno de los más formidables poemas amorosos de la literatura universal, de ese Diálogo entre Venus y Príapo, acontece en esa bahía: "Amor! La noche se desvae. / Nos baña el mar. (Oh luz!. El mundo canta. / Cae la luna... El viento...)"

1918205021918. Buffalo Soldier regiments depicted in stereoview photographs from the World War I era document African American cavalrymen and infantry units serving in segregated formations of the United States Army during the early twentieth century. These images record soldiers from several historically significant Black military units including the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 10th Cavalry and the 369th Infantry Regiment. African American soldiers served in large numbers during World War I despite segregation in the armed forces and the war marked a turning point in public recognition of Black military service. The photographs capture cavalry movement machine gun training and celebratory returns from the European front preserving visual evidence of the military presence and public visibility of Buffalo Soldiers during the conflict.<br /> <br /> Archive consists of seven stereoview photographs published by the Keystone View Company during the World War I period. The views depict soldiers from the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 8th Regiment of Colored Troops the 10th Cavalry the Chicago Regiment of Colored Troops and the 15th Regiment of the 369th Infantry. Two stereoviews show Black machine gun companies operating Lewis guns one of the principal light machine guns used on the Western Front during the war. Another view shows Troop K of the 10th Cavalry moving on horseback at Camp Chickamauga in Georgia. Additional stereoviews depict African American soldiers returning from European service and marching in public celebrations including scenes of troops parading along major boulevards such as Fifth Avenue in New York.<br /> <br /> The Buffalo Soldier regiments had already established a long military record before the First World War. Units such as the 10th Cavalry formed part of the segregated Regular Army created after the Civil War and served in campaigns across the western United States during the Indian Wars later participating in the Spanish American War the Philippine American War and operations during the Mexican Revolution. World War I marked one of the final periods in which cavalry units remained visible in American military organization as mechanized armor and motorized vehicles soon replaced mounted troops. At the same time Black soldiers who returned from service were celebrated in wartime parades yet continued to face segregation and racial discrimination within American society. Stereoview cards remain well preserved with light age wear typical of early twentieth century photographic prints. Very good condition overall and a visually compelling record of Buffalo Soldiers during the World War I era. unknown

1639ABC_50152Madrid 1639. Folio c. 29 x 20.1 cm. Diego Diaz Unbound housed in a plastic folder. 2 ll. Rare 17th-century Spanish pamphlet documenting the maritime activities of the Royal Armada of Dunkirk and privateers along the coasts of France England and other territories from 1 May to 31 December 1638. This detailed account lists 118 captured vessels including warships frigates and small craft many laden with highly valuable cargoes such as silk spices wine sugar salt precious metals and pearls.Printed in Madrid it served both as a record of naval prizes and a public announcement of military success during the turbulent years of the Eighty Years War 1568-1648 and concurrent Franco-Spanish conflicts. Dunkirk then a major Spanish port in the Low Countries was a base for state-authorised privateers corsarios whose daring raids on enemy shipping are vividly detailed here including the disposition of artillery captured crews and the fate of vessels either incorporated into the Spanish fleet or destroyed.The present work emphasizes the skill and bravery of the Dunkirkers noting that despite repeated attempts by Dutch fleets to block them only one Spanish warship was lost over thirty months of operations while over 800 enemy ships were captured. It is an exceptional example of early modern naval reporting illustrating not only the logistics and spoils of naval warfare but also the political and economic role of privateering in Spanish maritime strategy.The leaves are slightly browned and foxed the gutter of the second leaf has been reinforced with a manuscript page number "124" and "125" at the recto of the first leaf and the verso of the last leaf.
