17745521Marseille 1774. No Binding. Very Good. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. Two folio bifolia 43.1 x 27.7 cm each with letterpress text woodcuts and manuscript text on the first leaf. Retaining deckle edge on all sides folded and annotated as typical of such documents one of the documents a bit weak at the folds otherwise very well preserved. Two rare folio-size maritime insurance policies from 1770s Marseille relating to mercantile voyages to France's American colonies in the Caribbean and valuable witnesses to the more practical bureaucratic aspects of maritime trade in late 18th-century France. Each document is illustrated with the three large woodcut seals of the city and carries in letterpress the standard legal formulas particular to Marseille as well as extensive manuscript notes and signatures completing the policy. The earlier of the two policies signed in May of 1774 relates to the vessel La Gentille likely the frigate later recorded as having taken part in the 1780 Battle of Martinique a stalemate between the French and British navies during the American War of Independence. The second policy signed on 3 November 1777 concerns the Bon Pasteur a ship under the command of captain Pierre Antoine Massier. Historical records show that this policy was nearly redeemed: Returning from Martinique in late December the Bon Pasteur was fired upon by the British frigate Westmoreland off the coast of Cabo de Gata in Spain boarded by six men each armed with a brace of pistols and a saber and Captain Massier roughly handled. The English suspected that the Bon Pasteur was not carrying goods from Martinique but from New England tobacco rice which would have been in violation of the protectionist economic policies common in both the French and British colonies in the Americas. After several sailors aboard the Bon Pasteur were thoroughly questioned the ship was sent on its way and its insurers in Marseille breathed a sigh of relief.

17852954The Hague: Isaac Scheltus 1785. Very Good. Broadside. Text in two columns. Large woodcut of coat of arms of the Dutch Republic along with the arms of all member states woodcut initial also with modified Dutch Republic arms. Crease down the vertical and horizontal middle other small creases in the lower half ink offsetting from folding on lower half small tears and chips along edges small dark stain just above top woodcut. The origins of the Dutch Naval College. <br/><br/>Fascinating broadside detailing tax duties on ships trading in the East and West Indies America the Cape of Good Hope and elsewhere levied for - and applied towards - the newly founded Dutch Royal Naval College "Kweekschool voor de Zeevaart" or Seminary for Navigation which produced officers for the Dutch Sea Service. Notably these officers were not trained at sea but in the classroom -- and in the courtyard where the navy erected large model training ship for the ultimate experiential learning. The vessel was large enough for young students to climb the rigging. It is with good reason that graduates were described as "paper sailors." <br/><br/>According to this broadside the Dutch Republic approved and consented to the establishment and maintenance of the Kweekschool in the year 1781 for which the bespoke taxes were collected. The academy was officially opened in 1785 the same year that this "Publicatie" was printed. Taxes were only levied on ships of the East Indies Oostindien and the Cape of Good Hope Kaap.<br/><br/>It was with some urgency that the Kweekschool was developed: at this time there was a radical shift in the balance of maritime power: the power of the Dutch East India Company was in gradual decline in deference to the rising British East India Company which came to dominate global trade. In particular 1785 marks the first full year following the end of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War which broke out over British and Dutch disagreements on the legality and conduct of Dutch trade with Britain's enemies during the War of American Independence. <br/><br/>The broadside is signed in print by Caspar Clotterbooke 1711-1791 who was Secretary of the States of Holland at the time.<br/><br/>OCLC shows no copy in any institution outside of the Netherlands. Our copy appears to be the only one on the market; it is probable that this is the only one in private hands.<br/><br/>Literature: See especially Margaret E.
