211707Signed Raphael Soyer lower left inscribed Kelekian center right. 1 vols. 14 x 9.25 inches. Fine. In frame. Signed Raphael Soyer lower left inscribed Kelekian center right. 1 vols. 14 x 9.25 inches. Kelekian 1868-1951 one of the most important art/antiquites dealers of the modern era. Known to his peers as the "dean of antiquities" Kelekian's connoisseurship of the ancient art of the Near East opened the eyes of many Americans to a heritage hitherto unknown and unappreciated. Kelekian was born in Kayser in modern-day Turkey began his career in Constantinople opened a gallery in Paris in 1891 and moved to New York shortly after the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. Very quickly Kelekian's gallery developed clients among America's wealthiest families e.g. the Havermeyers John D. Rockefeller Jr. the Astors the Walters of Baltimore et. al. Kelekian ws primarlily responsible for building the Coptic Early Christian and Classical collections of Henry Walters later founder of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore and the Gothic collection of financier and Metropolitan Museum of Art president George Blumenthal.

12036Soyer Raphael. Soyer Raphael. WOMAN DRYING HERSELF. Drawing charcoal and watercolor on laid paper circa 1940. Inscribed and signed lower right in ink. 19 x 12 1/2 inches sheet. This drawing is closely related to Soyer's color lithograph "Young Woman Drying Herself" of 1940 Cole 57a. and is likely a preparatory study for it. Sensitive and exquisite the drawing is superior to the lithograph in both its draughtsmanship and in the coloring.

191477730Santiago de Chile: Imprenta Universitaria 1914. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Hardcover. Good. THIS WORK IS IN SPANISH. 59 5 pages. Footnotes. This appears to be a 1914 reprint of a portion of a larger work as the title page states Publicado en "La Revista Chilena de Historia y Geografia" Tomos XI y XII. Inscribed by the author on the third page. Cover has some wear and soiling. Front and back boards show some weakness. This appears to have been bound by the publisher and has El P. M. Lacunza in gilt on front cover. Rare item possibly unique with the author's signature. Manuel De Lacunza S.J. July 19 1731 - c. June 18 1801 was a Jesuit priest who used the pseudonym Juan Josafat Ben-Ezra in his main work on the interpretation of the prophecies of the Bible which was entitled The Coming of the Messiah in Majesty and Glory. In 1790 Lacunza completed the three volumes of his major work "The Coming of the Messiah in Glory and Majesty" La venida del Mesías en gloria y majestad. Recognizing that royal patronage was the surest guarantee that his work would be published and that he would be protected against his enemies he made repeated attempts to obtain approval by the Spanish court but in this he was unsuccessful. However his book circulated in manuscript form in Spain and in the whole of South America. In September 1824 Pope Leo XII placed it on the Index of Prohibited Books. Lacunza's various works are valuable as a record of the experience of exile and intellectual persecution which results from religious belief. Imprenta Universitaria hardcover

Contemporary half leather bindings red brown and green.2 color title pages and two chromolithographic cartoons; three full-page chromolithographic caricatures; black and white lithographs throughout.</p><p>O António Maria was Portugal's first great political satire magazine directed by Portugal's first great political cartoonist Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro 1846-1905.</p><p>The title meant as an exclamation expropriated the first half of the name of the reigning Portuguese Prime Minister António Maria Fontes Pereira.</p><p>Like Puck O António Maria usually devoted its first last and center pages to cartoons. The text pages also were dotted with cartoon art. Among the contributors were the poet Guilherme de Azevedo "João Rialto" Ramalho Ortigão "João Ribaixo" Alfredo Morais Pinto "Pan-Tarantula" João Broa Emílio Pimentel Enrique Casanova António Ramalho Ribeiro Cristino Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro Manuel Gustavo and others. Initially the magazine struck a balance between cartoons and text but as it matured the text took a subservient position to cartoons and comic strips.</p><p>Pinheiro used satire and irony in the pages of his magazine to oppose those in power and denounce the selfishness and corruption of the elites. All of Portugal's leading politicians and heads of first families appeared in caricature at one time or another in the weekly In 1884 the government revised the criminal code which seriously limited freedom of the press. It was in this repressive environment against which journalists generally adopted a passive attitude that led Pinheiro in his final issue to explain: "<em>When in a meeting of journalists' I proposed an 18-day publishing moratorium to protest the shameful situation in which the Portuguese government has placed the Portuguese press it was pointed out that O António Maria as a weekly sheet would not be seriously affected by the resolution. So I take the execution of my proposal one step further: O António Maria closes its doors forever in a sign of mourning</em>."</p><p>#WorldCat: 2 copies in US Libraries.</p>

Pasted as issued into original publisher's blue portfolio with elastic fastening white screenprint label with title to front cover with additional details in black. Small 4to. 210 x 228 mm.

The extraordinary scarce Pop artist book by the influential Spanish art collective 'Equipo Crónica'.Issued in the form of a film storyboard - even the cover reproduces the blue folder of a storyboard or screenplay - 'Seria Negra' is a monochromatic screenprint composition of individual frames printed in a lush chocolate and cream. 'Equipo Crónica' the collective that produced the book were a Pop-influenced duo of Manolo Blasco Valdés and Rafael Solbes a third member had departed in 1967 founded in Valencia in 1964. Early exhibitions with Clavé Saura Tàpies and others prompted Valdés and Solbes to form first 'Estampa Popular' a broader looser grouping with shared artistic aims and then the smaller more focussed 'Equipo Crónica'.'Equipo Crónica' despite its use of seemingly bland and decontextualised American-influenced Pop imagery was always subversive but artists had to be subtle in Franco's Spain and the collective's oeuvre was rarely overtly so. The present artist book with its 1930s /1940s film noir imagery of gangsters shakedowns molls and gangland hits all against bizarre found backgrounds Lichtenstein's work seems to feature heavily is disorientating but highly original.Monochrome paintings with added colour and large screenprints of some of the images were also issued and each of these feature a large multi-coloured vignette not present in the book versions.'The Spanish artist's group Equipo Crónica chronicled social and political concerns through a satirical art. While their themes referred to Spain's government and institutions and to its great - but stifling - artistic past the group also took aim at American imperialism and military might.'

0012102Havana Cuba Matanzas: Cuban Slave Trade Emancipated Slaves African Slave Deaths. Good with no dust jacket. Non-Book. On offer is a remarkable archive of four Cuban government manuscript documents related to the deaths of African slaves or emancipated slaves in Cuba between 1852 and 1885. Each of the four documents discusses the passing of a different Black man or woman who had been working in Cuba. The first document dated 1852 reports that the body of a Lucimi African slave was found drowned in the reefs. It is signed by Pedro Ferrea and is stamped by the local municipality. The second document is dated 1853 and reports on the death of Rafaela a 46-year-old slave from the Macua African nation. The note states that Rafaela has not yet received the proper sacrament. It is signed by one Rafael Torres. The third document is dated 1880 and is a longer document of three pages stamped by the cemetery indicating that a black tobacconist is being buried in the cemetery of Christopher Columbus. He was likely emancipated. It is signed in Havana by Massino Rodriguez . The final document is dated 1885 which is a year after slavery was completely abolished in Cuba meaning that this Black man was likely emancipated at the time of his death. This document reports that José de Orta of Africa 90 years old died as a poor man. It is signed by Sebastian Ferrero. Taken together this archive demonstrates multiple aspects of Cuban slavery culture. It shows change over time in how African people were referred to in government documentation between 1852 and 1885 as well as indicating how deaths of African slaves and Black men were handled over the years in Cuba. How we treat and discuss our dead in a society says a lot about how we value our people. Cuba had a great need for inexpensive labour to support their sugar industry. While America and Britain signed a treaty in 1814 to abolish the African slave trade it took many years for complete global abolition. The African slave trade was not ended in Cuba until 1886 despite it being formally abolished in 1867 Yun & Laremont 2001. During the Chinese coolie trade 1847-1874 African slaves often worked alongside Chinese indentured labourers. The documents vary slightly in size all measuring approximately 6x8 inches. All documents exhibit age toning and some have minor rips tears and folds. All Spanish language. All overall Fair to Good. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Signed by Author .
