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. Folded as issued with minor edge chipping small losses at corners and margins some toning and closed tears and pinholes; complete and legible. Overall good condition. 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

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.

1936142062Spain & northern Europe: 1936-41. Auf-zum! so ging es tagtäglich" "Off we go! That's how it went every day" An exceptional and unusually complete archive documenting the career of Leutnant Konrad Ellermann a decorated airman who served with the Condor Legion in Spain and later in flying-boat operations on the Eismeer Front. Centred on two meticulously compiled photograph albums and augmented by scarce supporting documents it offers a rare coherent visual record of theatres where comprehensive personal archives seldom survive. The first album charts his Condor Legion service beginning with 43 tourist views of Spain and 25 informal images of squadron life followed by sequences showing Heinkel 59 flying boats in preparation and in flight with aerial views of enemy positions and bomb damage. Ellermann dedicates a page to comrades killed in March 1938 almost certainly the crew of the HE 59 downed near Cambrils and records their funerals and repatriation. Additional images include Condor Legion fighters He 51 He 112 Bf 109 long-range raids from Portbou to Oropesa and bombed railway lines. A section headed "Einiges von den Taten!" depicts two merchant vessels sunk by his unit - the British SS Jean Weems and the Danish SS Edith - alongside further action shots. The album closes with off-duty scenes and high-quality aerial photographs of Pollença Tangier and Portbou. The second album covers northern service. It opens with trials of the Dornier Do 26 flying boat in late 1938 with fine airborne views images of the second prototype and photographs of Dornier staff at work. Other aircraft represented include the Blohm & Voss Ha 139 the Latécoère 521 and the Dornier Do 18. Around 20 aerial views of Norway follow including encounters with He 111s and Ellermann's aircraft moored in Rombaken fjord culminating in a medal ceremony featuring Oberleutnant Karl Otto Max Barth. A final section documents his posting with Flussklärungsfliegerstaffel 1/125 in Finland with portraits of his Heinkel HD 114 scenes in Helsinki and Turku maintenance shots and a concluding portrait of Ellermann. Born in Geisingen in 1915 Ellermann began as a funkmeister before becoming an observer in 1938. He received the Iron Cross First and Second Class the Narvikschild the Frontflugspange für Kampfflieger in gold and silver the Luftwaffe Honour Cup and the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold. His service included AS-88 in Spain 1937-38 Sonderstaffel Tr. O 1939-41 Küstenflieger-Staffel 1/406 in Norway 1942-43 and Seeaufklärungsgruppe 131 1943-45. His surviving logbook records 484 flights between October 1937 and March 1944 378 of them operational including 62 Condor Legion sorties on ships and towns such as Barcelona Sagunto and Alicante.

1936190131936. Lot of 2 Large vintage Photographs: One Large photo shows graves outside a mausoleum that had been disinterred by the communists in the Spanish Civil War. Captioned in French. Several caskets are opened on its steps and even stood up some of the skeletons against the columns at its entrance. This grisly shot shows the vicious nature of the Spanish Civil War which saw both the Nationalists led by Franco and the communist and anarchist militants commit extreme acts to instill terror in the opposition. The communists charged with this violation had an enemy not only in Franco but in the Church which they considered a powerful reactionary and oppressive force within Spain. This kind of sacrilegious deed likely took place during the Red Terror which was a bloody period after Franco's 1936 coup when the leftist factions exacted ruthless anticlerical and class-based violence within their domain. Comes with another photo of a Russian Orthodox church that has been requisitioned by the Soviets and turned into a store for among other things a large plaque of Lenin and shelves full of supplies. Captioned in French. Several of the paintings and altarpieces have been taken down and placed alongside a large metal plaque of Bolshevik leader Lenin. In this photo we see the largely atheist Bolsheviks make a statement by turning a grand Orthodox into a repository for some supplies and also the arrival of a new guiding ideology as represented by the plaque of Bolshevik leader Lenin and the communist ideal he embodied. Both images are rolled with some imperfections on edges but in very good condition overall. unknown
