Italianate patterned blue softcovers embossed silver blocked lettering slight shelfwear very slight rubbing still VG bright copy. First edition of this very scarce Herreshoff Yacht sales catalogue issued by the Company after the win by “Mike†Vanderbilt’s 1884-1970 yacht Enterprise which shut down Lipton’s last America’s Cup hopes in 1930. This catalogue features a partial list of Herreshoff clients which reads as a who’s who of the yachting World at the opening of the Great Depression and the high point for the famed boatbuilding company. The Herreshoff Manufacturing Company began operation in 1878 after John Brown Herreshoff -- a blind boatbuilder since 1863 and his younger brother Nathanael Greene Herreshoff formed an amazingly successful partnership. They created a flourishing business of producing luxury steamboats for the wealthy steamships for the U.S. Navy and outstanding racing and cruising vessels. The company was amazingly successful until the 1920s largely relying on word-of-mouth and the invaluable prestige of several successful America’s Cup winners. In 1924 the business was sold to Haffenreffer whose family owned the Narragansett Brewing Company. This beautifully illustrated and appointed catalogue includes many photos of the America’s Cup yacht winners along with a number of different size sailing yachts and motor ships including the cruisers Vara and Ara.

Very good. <p>First edition limited to 2000 copies.<p>N.B.: The text is in Spanish.<p>Although not indicated in any way this book was purchased from the Vermont estate of the great Chilean concert pianist Claudio Arrau.<p>The author Father Gabriel Guarda is regarded as a pioneer in the field of urban history studies in Chile. Following the release of his work "Historia de Valdivia: 1552-1952" he went on to publish numerous articles and papers on colonial urban planning which culminated in his publication of "Historia Urbana del Reino de Chile".<p>"A quarter century of ransacking archives and libraries and the steady enlargement of the theme through writing and reflection underpin this truly remarkable study of the cities of colonial Chile by Gabriel Guarda. His previous well-known inquiries into the origins and Spanish use of the grid plan for urban layout the historical and archaeological examination of the cities abandoned after the great Araucanian uprising of 1598 and the surge in urban development of the eighteenth century are all incorporated into a monumental study. Through the lenses of its cities in what was a colony arranged around cities the entire social and economic history of colonial Chile is given new focus and vision." . "Guarda's analysis and exposition are of a thoroughness and subtlety that one hopes for in a work so long in design and execution. He examines the types of streets squares roads building lots and the buildings erected thereon finding one set of stone and adobe in the center and a unique adaptation to the colder climate and readily available supply of lumber in the south. His discussion of urban layout is based town by town upon plans and the results of archaeological excavations for the southern cities even to the Dutch report of 1643." Quoted from Woodrow Borah's article in the "Hispanic American Historical Review" 1981.<p>RARE. Santiago, Chile: Editorial Andres Bello, (1978). hardcover
