1879LL1<p><strong>Portugal's First Great Political Satirical Magazine a Complete Set</strong></p><p><strong>Includes Portuguese Poetry </strong></p><p>6vols; small folio; 315 issues COMPLETE. 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>

18016589London: Published by John Raphael Smith 1801. Mezzotint with roulette coloured by hand. Image size: 17 1/4 x 21 1/2 inches. A touching scene after Morland: 'a master of genre and animal painting an artist worthy to be placed in the same rank as the best of those Dutch masters whom he studied as a boy' DNB<br/> <br/> This print is a wonderful example of the manner in which Morland perfectly conveys the hardships and beauties of country life his depiction of a poor country family battling the hardships of winter shows the bitter side of the pastoral life with grace and sympathy. George Morland was one of the most successful genre painters of his time creating during his industrious career some of England's most cherished paintings. At an early age Morland displayed his artistic genius he learned to paint at three and exhibited his first work at the Royal Academy at the mere age of ten. Morland was a prodigious painter producing more than 4000 paintings during the entirety of his career and sometimes painting two or three works in a day. His beautiful idealistic scenes were a favorite source of inspiration for contemporary engravers and as many as 250 separate engravings were done of his paintings during his lifetime. One such engraver was John Raphael Smith who throughout his career translated many of Morland's paintings to print. Smith was a highly influential figure in the late eighteenth-century British art world he quickly became an impresario of the print-publishing trade producing nearly 400 prints during his lifetime 130 of which were of his own design. This beautiful print refelects both the talents of the engraver and the genius of the artist in its sentiment and execution it demonstrates the best of English genre.

186450647Krotoschin Krotoszyn/ Vienna/ Frankfurt am Main: Printed by B.L. Monasch/ Jacob Schlossberg's Buchhandlung/ Printed by Ferdinand Hauch 1864. First German translations. Hardcover. g to vg-. Octavo. 3/4 black morocco over buckram boards. Gilt lettering and ruling on the spine. Red speckled edges of book block. A complete set of the three parts of Maimonides acclaimed work The Guide for the Perplexed in German and Hebrew bound in one volume. All of the editions included here contain the first German translations of their respective parts of the text.<br /> <br /> Maimonides' intention with this work was to reconcile Aristotelian thought and logic with traditional Rabbinical Jewish theology. Originally written circa 1190 in Judeo-Arabic as Dalalat al-Ha'irin these writings takes the form of a lengthy three-part letter to his student Rabbi Joseph ben Judah of Ceuta and are seen as the main source for understanding Maimonides' philosophic view rather than his strictly being his views on Jewish law. It is the most known of his works in the non-Jewish world. The work's first translation into Hebrew was in 1204 by Rabbi Samuel ben Judah ibn Tibbon c.1150 - c.1230 a contemporary of Maimonides.<br /> <br /> Content:<br /> <br /> Moreh li-Tsedakah. Hu Sefer Moreh Nevukhim FIRST PART. 1839. Second German-language edition. 19 double-sided leaves with Hebrew pagination. 392pp. 3. In 1835 the first part of Maimonides acclaimed work was first translated into German with added commentary in Hebrew by Jacob Raphael Fürstenthal 1781-1855. That first edition featured the German translation printed in Latin script to accompany the Hebrew text. However for this second edition of that translation it is interesting to note that the text of the German is printed in Hebrew script. Content finely printed in double and single-column layouts with commentary printed in Rashi script. Divided in 76 chapters this part of the work contains discussions of an understanding and definition of the nature of God and divine anthropomorphism in the Hebrew bible including a detailed analysis of the Biblical Hebrew of the text to these ends. The final three pages included here contain and index in both Hebrew and German.<br /> <br /> BOUND WITH<br /> More Nebochim. Wegweiser für Berirrte SECOND PART. 1864. First German-language edition. x 99pp. This is the first German translation of the work's second part taken from the original Arabic text by way of the French translation by Salomon Munk 1861. The original Hebrew translation of the text is accompanied throughout by a translation and commentary in German by Max Emanuel Stern 1811-1873. Divided into 48 chapters the second part involves Maimonides discussion of proof of the existence of God the nature of creation the concept of prophecy and an examination of the 26 propositions for Aristotle's metaphysics. The initial pages contain introduction and foreword by Stern. Also included is a fold-out plate containing facsimile text from an original signed manuscript note from the hand of Maimonides himself written in Japhet son of Solomon's corrected manuscript copy of the Mishneh Torah held at Bodleian Library at Oxford MS Hunt.80 leaf 165a. <br /> <br /> AND WITH<br /> Dalalat al Haiirin Burechtweisung der Verirrten.

Scheyer 1804-1854 provides the translation and scholarly commentary in German to accompany the Hebrew of the text.

Discussed are concepts including Jewish mysticism the Chariot of Ezekiel the moral aspects of the universe the problem of evil free will and the 613 mitzvot of the Torah. The final pages contain a scholarly index in German.<br /> <br /> Binding tight with some rubbing to extremities including the hinges of the spine. Spine and covers lightly sunned.

183652758Mexico City: Palacio del Gobierno Nacional 1836. Fine. Official printed government notice of Mexico's continuing efforts to maintain control over Texas immediately after the loss at San Jacinto - here working with privateers to harass Texans at sea. When Mexico finally won its independence from Spain in 1821 its territory included modern-day Texas settled by a mix of Tejano Mexican and Texian Anglo-American populations in addition to indigenous tribes and enslaved African Americans. Tensions between the Tejano and Texian factions increased and finally erupted into full-scale violence in 1835 beginning what is now called the Texas Revolution. Its most famous battle at the Alamo occurred a few months before this broadside was issued. <br /> <br /> The decisive battle of the war San Jacinto occurred on 21 April a Mexican defeat that led to the formation of the Republic of Texas. While the Mexican general Santa Anna negotiated a surrender the Mexican government deposed him for it and refused to recognize an independent Texas. After San Jacinto Mexico avoided pitched battles but continued to take action to undermine and antagonize the new Texas nation. This broadside was one such effort issued just over a week after the defeat at San Jacinto. It announces the formal employment in the navy of private ships to aid in attacking Texans at sea and forming a blockade "para terminar la guerra con los colonos de Tejas é impedir el contrabando en los puertos y costas de la República". Privateers were necessary because the Mexican government did not yet have a robust navy a weakness that the United States would later exploit in the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. <br /> <br /> Ephemeral broadsides like this survive in few numbers; many of this era during José Justo Corro's interim presidency show only two or three institutional holdings via OCLC. This particular imprint shows three institutional holdings in the US Baylor Texas A&M and Brigham Young. A rare piece of Texana. 12'' x 8.25''. Single letterpress broadside printed recto only. A bit of faint wrinkling. Crisp and bright. Palacio del Gobierno Nacional unknown
