Cuba: SlaveryABAA

DECRETO No. 54. ASAMBLEA DE REPRESENTANTES DEL CENTRO ABOLICION DE LA ESCLAVITUD.caption title

1869WRCAM56566CamagÃƒÂ¼ey Cuba 1869. Pictorial letterpress broadside 18 1/2 x 13 inches. Numbered "54" in manuscript bearing the embossed red seal of the Republica Cubana and signed in ink by Salvador Cisneros y Betancourt Eduardo Agramonte Ignacio Agramonte Loyn ÃƒÂ¡z Francisco SÃƒÂ¡nchez y Betancourt and Antonio Zambrana. Old horizontal folds minor creasing handful of small edge chips. Small hole in bottom margin just touching one ink signature. Very good condition. A rare and significant pictorial Cuban decree from the provisional rebel government abolishing slavery on the part of the island they controlled issued by the radical faction of the Cuban nationalists fighting against Spanish rule in the first months of the Ten Years' War. This proclamation is illustrated with a dramatic woodcut signed "LFR" depicting an ill-clad but exultant freed slave and a rebel celebrating in front of the Cuban flag. This decree stipulated freedom for all the enslaved people of Cuba in hopes that they would join the revolutionary struggle. The decree also provided for eventual compensation to slaveholders and ordered that freed individuals must serve the revolution either through military service or by continuing with their previous work. Among the important leaders who signed the present document were Salvador Cisneros y Betancourt as president just below the printed text and Ignacio Agramonte y LoynÃƒÂ¡z as secretary to the left of the engraving. The practical effect of this decree was modest as the rebels only controlled limited territory before their ultimate defeat and their territory was generally under the control of more conservative military commanders but such a proclamation joined a growing chorus of abolitionist sentiment in Cuba which finally realized the end of slavery in 1886. A powerful statement of anti-slavery policy in mid-19th century Cuba with a striking illustration of a jubilant slave celebrating his short-lived freedom.

Slim octavo original tan self-wrappers string tied uncut; pp. 1-5 6-30 2. $3500.First edition of Smith's scathing attack on American slavery declaring it a betrayal as ""thousands of your fellow-beings children of the same father and inheritors of the same destiny writhe under the lash of cruelty"" an exceptional 18th-century abolitionist work published barely ten years after ratification of the Constitution exceedingly rare uncut in original wrappers.Trained as a physician under Benjamin Rush ""Smith was an early abolitionist a member and Recording Secretary of the New York Manumission Society and trustee of the city's African Free School"" Stevenson Litchfield Native. ""Passionately committed to the improvement of the fledgling nation through the acquisition and circulation of information"" Smith's analysis of slavery in this very rare work published the same year as his early death at 27 expresses his and the Society's commitment ""to ideals of human perfectibility which they combined with the practical labor of achieving change"" Kelly on Kaplan Men of Letters. Here he takes aim at leaders and nations where the ""spirit of despotism multiplied and extended the evil"" of slavery and ""wrought it into a system."" Noting the influence of renowned abolitionists John Woolman and Anthony Benezet he asserts that it is those in slave trade who particularly ""opened a new field for every baneful enterprise"" when they became ""the first to violate the noble principles by which they had been guided."" Smith especially speaks to American leaders and slaveholders who concede ""slavery is unjust"" but claim ""it is entailed upon us by our fathers; it is interwoven with every part of our social organization."" In reply he declares that it is ""strange reasoning"" to endorse slavery simply because it exists. Arguing ""the laws of our country authorized the possession in human flesh"" he asks: ""Shall the legislators of a great nation be denied the power of acknowledging their errors and laboring to correct them Encumbered as we are with this mighty evil"" Smith proclaims: ""You yes you the Legislators of America you are the real upholders of slavery you foster and protect it you immortalize injustice while thousands of your fellow-beings children of the same father and inheritors of the same destiny writhe under the lash of cruelty.""

Documentary Evidence of Slavery Sites Albumen Views of St Augustine Market Pavilion González Alvarez House and Mississippi Slave Quarters

1897185871897. Albumen photographs of slavery-related sites circa 1890s document physical locations tied to the sale and habitation of enslaved people in the United States and the persistence of those sites in post-Emancipation visual culture. The images include a pavilion in St. Augustine Florida identified in contemporary sources as a site where enslaved Africans were bought and sold a photographic negative depicting outbuildings identified as Mississippi slave quarters and a mounted view of the González Alvarez House a colonial structure associated with early settlement in St. Augustine. Together the photographs provide material evidence of how spaces connected to slavery were recorded labeled and circulated in the late nineteenth century linking architectural survival to the historical memory of enslavement in both the Southeast and the Gulf South. Collection of three albumen photographs. United States circa 1890s. One mounted photograph approximately 3 3/16 x 3 inches bears the ink inscription "Old Slave Market Cathedral St. Augustine Fla." and depicts the waterfront pavilion constructed in the early nineteenth century originally used as a commercial market and identified in local records as a site of slave trading. One photographic negative approximately 3 1/2 x 3 3/4 inches shows three small structures identified as Mississippi slave quarters. One mounted photograph approximately 3 1/8 x 2 5/8 inches is inscribed "Oldest house in St. Augustine Fla. Built in the early 1700s" depicting the González Alvarez House. Mounts and inscriptions indicate a documentary intent linking the images to historically significant sites. By the late nineteenth century sites associated with slavery were being reframed within local historical narratives often presented as landmarks while still retaining traces of their earlier function within systems of forced labor and sale. The identification of the St. Augustine pavilion as a slave market in inscription and record aligns the image with documented urban sites of sale in Spanish and later American Florida while the Mississippi quarters image extends the archive into the plantation landscape of the postbellum South. The grouping provides a concise visual record of how structures tied to enslavement were preserved interpreted and circulated in photographic form decades after abolition. Minor adhesive residue to one mount small tear to negative and light toning and staining to mounts; overall good condition. unknown
