32167Broadside. 4to 9½" X 12". Near fine. Faintly age toned and with just the slightest bit of edgewear. Puerto Plata also spelled Porto Plata is the capital city of a province bearing the same name on the north coast of the Dominican Republic and on the night of August 21 1871 a fire engulfed that city's commercial district crippling this remote district. On this occasion the province's governor RAMON D. PACHECO and the president of its Ayuntamiento municipality council FEDERICO M. LEYBA signed in type this broadside which consists of two side-by-side columns in English. In highly flowery language and twisted grammar Pacheco and Leyba describe the fire and what it did to their city and its residents. In part: "Forty six buildings which encircled the only and most valuable that held the greatest credit that represented the complement of the towns welfare the support of the majority of the population and in short were the prop of the Government the guarantee of wealth the fountain of labor the stability of the present and rich signification of the future have in three hours been converted into smoking ruins; horrible tomb of so many lives that moments before were agitating with overflow of stamina." They plead for help from the international community: "Porto Plata knows that its appeal will be heeded and therefore does not falter but addresses readily all nations brothers in sufferings; all peoples sympathizers with distress; all the powerful compassionate to misfortune in search of the help it requires to even prove after that if it knows to beg it also will know to fulfil and guard in each bosom of its children altars of lasting gratitude. For this end it directs its wailings to the representatives of the Republic." Dated "Porto-Plata August 23d 1871." At the bottom between Pacheco and Leyba's bold typeface names appears the large 2" diameter official circular blind-embossed imprint of the Ayuntamiento of Puerto Plata. On the verso of this intriguing broadside appear four dockets -- seals and notarizing signatures from four consulates testifying to the truth of the devastation described in the broadside. "This is to certify" pens the first docket "that the foregoing is a correct statement and that Ramon D. Pacheco is Governor of this district and Federico M Leyba President of the Town Council. Porta Plata August 25h 1871. Theodore Farrington B.V. Consul." Alongside this is the circular blind-embossed seal of the British Vice Consul of Porto Plata. Below this appears the circular blind-embossed seal of the U.S. Commercial Agency of Puerto Plata with the illegible signature of that official plus title "U.S. V.C. Agt"; below that the circular blue inkstamped seal of the North German Consulate in Porto Plata and the illegible signature and title of that official; below that the circular blind-embossed seal of the Danish Consul at Puerto de Plata and the signature of G.L.H. Zeller with title; and below that the signature of "Charles Albert Neumann / Consul for Austria=Hungaria" who also pens "consular Seal" in lieu of a missing official Austro-Hungarian consular seal; and in a second column at right the illegible signature and rank of the French vice consul who also pens "Consular Seal" in lieu of a missing official French consular seal. A provocative and rare broadside uniquely docketed by six diplomatic officials on the verso. Ironically that other great fire of 1871 would take place about one and a half months after this: the great Chicago fire of 1871 which caused far greater destruction and got far greater press attention. Accompanying this broadside is a 1930s vintage printed manila folder from pioneering Midwest autograph dealer Forest H. Sweet "American Historical Material / Battle Creek Michigan" with his early catalogue description of this item affixed at center. unknown

17504310The binding probably Augsburg 1750. Agenda-format binding size 155 x 78 x 24 mm. Contents: 143 small engravings all but the first 48-50 x 35-37 mm. the first mounted sideways measuring 50 x 97 mm. consisting of 11 engravings for each saint trimmed to borders and mounted on 78 leaves of wove paper. 18th-century German silver-gilt embossed binding regilt in the 19th century both covers with a large oval cartouche containing a scene of the Crucifixion on the upper cover and the Resurrection on lower cover both covers with cherubs within ornamental foliage at the four corners the pair at top holding a cartouche with a scene of the Entombment on upper cover and the Ascension on lower cover the pair at the foot holding laurel wreaths and flanking a winged angel’s head; spine with embossed flowers ribbons and foliate ornaments above and below a central scene of Moses with the brazen serpent at top a monogram of the letters CJ; two chased metal fore-edge clasps attaching on upper cover; lined in later 19th-century green watered silk edges gilt and gauffered. Housed in a folding cloth felt-lined folding case upper cover with morocco gilt label with Abbey’s named coat of arms; his paper shelf-mark label JA 2680 on lower cover. Provenance: unidentified monogram on binding; Major John Roland Abbey 1894-1969 bookplate on case; see Hayward Silver Bindings no. 17; Bernard Breslauer anonymous sale Sotheby’s 10 May 1985 “Silver and Enamel Bindings†lot 26 unsold.<br /> <br /> A stunning embossed silver-gilt binding almost certainly produced in Augsburg from the collection of Major Abbey. <br /> <br /> The binding dates from the “last phase of baroque and the fully developed rococo†Hayward the final culminating period of Augsburg craftsmanship in embossed silver. Describing this binding and two others from the collection Hayward wrote: “the most finely worked book-covers in the Abbey Collection date from the second quarter of the Eighteenth Century. The subjects are the familiar scenes from the life of Christ but treated even in the small compass of a book-cover with extraordinary dramatic force. The designs were probably derived from a contemporary illustrated Bible but their effectiveness is greatly enhanced by the relief in which they are rendered and by the strong contrasts of light and shade†p. 3. To accentuate the pathos the silversmith or designer chose to highlight minor characters: in the dramatic Crucifixion scene the most deeply embossed figures occupying the foreground are two soldiers throwing dice at the foot of the cross; similarly the centurion is the largest and most solid figure in the Resurrection scene on the lower cover.<br /> <br /> The binding encloses an album of 143 fine small unsigned 17th-century probably Flemish engravings of Franciscan saints neatly mounted on wove paper. The Antwerp engraver and print publisher Philips Galle had initiated the vogue for “Franciscan†prints with his series of engravings of the Life of St. Francis first produced before 1580 cf. Sellink pp. 129-131. The present suite contains 13 series each with 11 small engravings depicting a saint or group of saints as follows: St. Francis The 5 Martyred Saints the 7 Martyred Saints Anthony of Padua Bonaventura Ludovicus Episcopius Bernardino of Siena John of Capestrano Didacus Diego of Alcalá Clare of Assisi Elizabeth of Hungary S. Elizabeth vidua Louis of France and Elzear. With one exception John of Capestrano instead of St. Ivo of Brittany these were the saints chosen by Hendrik Sedulius guardian of the Antwerp Franciscans for his Imagines Sanctorum Francisci printed and illustrated by Philips Galle in 1602 but that quarto-format work only includes one large engraving per saint each accompanied by a page of text. The exact source of this more extensive small format suite remains to be identified. Each engraving has a caption citing a chapter number. <br /> <br /> Major John Roland Abbey assembled the largest English book collection of his generation. His first love was bindings and among these he brought together an exceptional group of silver bindings some of which were described and illustrated by John F. Hayward in an article published in The Connoisseur in 1952. The present binding is number 17; Hayward noted its earlier regilding as well as the “fine quality†of the embossing. Bernard Breslauer later bought the collection en bloc from Abbey’s widow “and in 1985 Bernard consigned the collection with some additions from his own stock to Sotheby’s London. Despite Sotheby’s well-illustrated and informative catalogue the sale was calamitous: of the fifty-eight silver and enamel bindings only fourteen met the reserve†Laird p. 67. This binding was not one of them. <br /> <br /> Cf. M. S. Sellink Philips Galle 1537-1612: engraver and print publisher in Haarlem and Antwerp PhD ThesisVrije Universiteit Amsterdam 1997 online. J.
