A clean & bright pamphlet.</p><p>RARE First only edition.</p><p>When King Ferdinand VII of Spain returned to power in 1814 he repealed the liberal constitution of 1812 the Constitution of Cadiz. In 1820 soldiers preparing for an expedition to reclaim Spanish colonies in South America pledged loyalty to the 1812 Constitution and led by Rafael del Riego revolted against the King's absolute rule. On March 9 1820 Ferdinand accepted the constitution and gave power to the liberal ministers. The 3-year period that followed is known as the "Trienio Liberal". This period of liberal rule in Spain was marked by instability and a faltering Spanish economy. In January of 1823 a secret treaty was signed at the Congress of Verona by the United Kingdom France Russia Prussia and Austria. The treaty gave authority to France to invade Spain and restore Ferdinand VII as the absolute monarch. The King of France Louis XVIII put the Duke of Angouleme in charge of the Army of the Pyrenees also known as the "Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis". It was his mission to overthrow the Constitutional government of Spain and restore Ferdinand VII to his full powers as was agreed to at the Congress of Verona. Angouleme and his army entered the capital of Spain on May 23 1823. There he formed a royalist regency presided over by Carlos Maria Isidro de Borbon the Infante of Spain. The pamphlet at hand is an exposition addressed to the Duke of Angouleme by the Grandee of Spain represented by 36 members of the Spanish nobility who have signed at the end. It is worthy of note that the Grandee's statement is dated May 27 the day after the regency was installed. The statement praises Angouleme and calls for him to quickly unite the King with the nations of Europe. "Ahora la oportunidad de desahogar nuestros pechos oprimidos y de reunir nuestros deseos y nuestras fuerzas para lograr la suspirada restauracion era el dia venturoso en que un hijo por el amor y heredero por la sangre del poderoso rey cristianisimo de Francia ha aparecido en esta capital misma rodeado de tantos miles de valientes anunciando el grandioso designio de poner en libertad a nuestro Rey y de hacer que reine de nuevo entre nosotros el orden la paz y la justicia.Acabad senor pronta y felizmente el desempeno de vuestro noble encargo; juntad la libertad de un Rey de vuestra sangre a las justas esperanzas de una nacion amiga de la Francia; que de los esfuerzos reunidos de estos dos pueblos generosos resulte el bien Comun y un nuevo y duradero lazo de amistad y de alianza; que ahuyentadas las mezquinas y funestas pasiones para hacer lugar a la benefica concordia formada una sola familia con un solo espiritu en rededor del regio trono; puestos enfin los Espanoles en honrosa y sabia armonia con las naciones cultas de la Europa tan lejos de las intrigas de la arbitrariedad precursora siempre de desastres como de la inquieta y destructora anarquia podamos un dia mas dichoso y puedan nuestros hijos decir con inefable y permanente jubilo."</p> Madrid: Imprenta de D.

1930190332New York: The Savoy Ballroom 1930s. Chic memento of Harlem's greatest nightspot From the collection of Rolling Stones drummer and jazz aficionado Charlie Watts with his posthumous bookplate: a striking souvenir of the fabled Savoy "the World's Greatest Ballroom" situated on Lenox Avenue. Langston Hughes surely had it in mind when in "Juke Box Love Song" he referred to "Harlem's heartbeat". Entirely unsegregated from the beginning this was a ballroom not a night club - they came to dance. The long narrow dance floor known to the regulars as the "Track" was not a place for the faint-hearted it was every bit as competitive as the Savoy's dual bandstands where the Battles of the Bands or Cutting Contests took place and for which the venue became famous. Through the 1930s until his unfortunately premature demise in 1939 the great Chick Webb the original King of Swing held sway with his hard-driving band defeating all comers of the stature of Benny Goodman and Count Basie the winners chosen by the dancers of course. The folder contains the original table photograph which shows a booth with four African-American couples in their thirties and a couple of hangers-on outside the booth all of them sharply turned out and ready for a good time. And - if the debris on the table is anything to go by with at least one champagne bottle in evidence - on their way to having one. This is a wonderfully evocative piece of jazz ephemera from the Charlie Parker and Night Club Memorabilia collection of Norman R. Saks. Pink card photo-folder 238 x 278 mm superb graphic of a dancing couple to front panel. Original silver gelatin table photograph in the window mount. A little rubbed and soiled some minor stripping at the spine and lower edge of the front panel short split to the window-mount the photograph slightly mottled. Ken Vail The Norman R.

1935190330New York: Savoy Ballroom 1935. Four Big Guns of Dance Music in a Dynamic Battle of Music From the collection of Rolling Stones drummer and jazz aficionado Charlie Watts: impossible to ignore handbill for a sensational "battle of the bands" at the celebrated Savoy Ballroom the scene of many such encounters but in this instance boasting a particularly stellar line up: Chick Webb "I'll Kill 'Em" Fletcher Henderson "I'll Murder 'Em" Fess Williams "I'll Slay 'Em" Teddy Hill "I'll Slaughter 'Em". The artwork certainly buttonholes the eyeballs: on the left four "big guns" blast out the names of the participants and on the right a mock-up of a newsstand headline declaims "EXTRA - 4 Blazing Bands Declare - JAZZ WAR - Breakfast Dance - All Night Sat. April 13th. 5 pm to 8am - 50¢ Admits You to the Musical Battle Sector". A flavour of the atmosphere of these famous sessions is captured by jazz historian Lewis A. Erenberg: "When the curtain came down on Benny Goodman's Carnegie Hall concert of 1938 the Count Basie band and many of the other musicians present raced uptown to the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem for the momentous battle of the bands with the Chick Webb Orchestra. 'That was one hell of a battle' recalled Buck Clayton Basie's trumpeter. 'All concerned were putting down some heavy swing' Webb's orchestra the house band at the Savoy all through the late 1930s and the winner of numerous battles against visiting hopefuls aimed its 'sensational whirlwind barrage chiefly at the ears and head with resounding arrangements'". A genuinely remarkable survival from the heyday of Swing advertising "Four Big Guns of Dance Music in a Dynamic Battle of Music" when "Hot Licks" were pitched against "Hot Piano" and "High Notes" went toe-to-toe with "Low Notes" - as the strapline says: "What A Fight!" From the celebrated jazz ephemera collection of Norman R. Saks. Handbill 210 x 280 mm. Printed on recto only in red and black. Neat ownership inscription in green ink of one "Chas Roy" straddling the printed name of Teddy Hill; remains of paper on verso where once pasted into an album short closed tear into lower edge general creasing and signs of handling overall light toning yet remarkably well preserved.

1941171093New York: Savoy Ballroom 1941 & 1942. The Goose Hangs High Over Harlem From the collection of Rolling Stones drummer and jazz aficionado Charlie Watts: a conspicuously uncommon pair of handbills for the celebrated Savoy Ballroom both advertising Labor Day celebrations that for the 1942 party featuring Cootie Williams and His Orchestra and the Savoy Sultans. The jive talk strapline of the day requires attendees to "Relax in Slacks Jump in Jumpers Swing in Ginghams Bounce in Pajamas". The sub-title of "The Goose Hangs High Over Harlem" derives from an old expression whose rather obscure meaning may have origins in the superstition that if geese were seen flying high then evil spirits were gone and good times were at hand. What may have been uppermost in the mind of the Savoy organisers however was Woody Herman's 1936 vocal version of the song of the same name also recorded by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis in 1958 as a "honker" with a tight bouncing groove. "Special events by Afro-American community associations and the booking of Latin bands sustained the variety of the Savoy ballroom's dances. Fancy-dress events were the one enduring feature of the original cabaret-style entertainment that remained popular enough to survive Perhaps the reason for this popularity was the opportunity that fancy dress provided Harlemites to indulge a sense of what seemed to be the 'exotic' such as Arabian Russian and Chinese nights or the annual Barn Dance on Labor Day Authenticity was not a great concern when attempting square dancing but complaints were voiced on occasions if real bales of straw were not used to decorate the ballroom!" Malnig p. 137. From the celebrated jazz ephemera collection of Norman R. Saks. Two handbills 190 x 135 mm; 240 x 148 mm. Printed on recto only both featuring the image of a rustic skyline harvest moon and barn labelled "Savoy Hay Station". Some creasing and light signs of handling but in very good condition.
