19202465<p>8-1/4 x 11 inches. 60pp recto only. Burgundy cloth photo album with gilt title and ornament stamped to spine brown paper leaves reinforced with cloth at the gutter. 55 b&w photographs 6 cyanotypes 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 inches each; holograph text in verse in Spanish. All but two photos are pasted in one per page; two additional photographs are laid in one a duplicate possibly removed from another album and one on a loose leaf of black construction paper and seemingly unrelated to the text. Light wear to spine ends and corners; front hinge gently split; light dampstaining to edge of front endpaper; text of one page smeared from contact with moisture although there is no damp-staining and the text is still readable.</p><p>An original proto-fotonovella relating in dramatic fashion the tale of four young couples who fall in love despite opposition from their guardians -- who it turns out are themselves a pair of star-crossed lovers who fell in love during an unnamed 19th-century war in the United States presumably the Civil War. Their tales are told through detailed staged photographs of amateur actors paired with occasionally rather clumsy verse.</p><p>The story begins with four sisters -- Betty Jilly Molly and Nelly -- who live with their stern spinster aunt Miss Arabella Arrowrock in a palatial home in New York City. The sisters are romantically involved with four brothers -- Dick Fred John and Jack -- who are under the care of their uncle Florentin Williamson. Although the brothers are supposed to be immersed in their studies they are much more interested in romance and sneak out to meet their beloveds standing on the girls' windowsills to woo them under cover of night. However they are spotted by a maid Judith who immediately reports to Miss Arrowrock that "instead of being asleep each one of the girls is at their window making love with strange men." </p><p>The young women and men get in serious trouble with their respective guardians and Arrowrock and Williamson forbid their charges from seeing their as-yet-unknown lovers again threatening to disown them if they disobey. Arrowrock and Williamson who are friends then meet and resolve to marry of their charges quickly not realizing that they are already intimately acquainted with each other. Neither the sisters nor the brothers know who the others' guardian is and the sisters hatch a plan to scare off their suitors through grotesque makeup and outlandish outfits. The brothers are disgusted but the sisters recognize them at once and all four couples secretly resume their relationships believing they are capable of duping their elders.</p><p>Naturally Arrowrock and Williamson overhear them gloating about their successful charade and are furious. Arrowrock sits on a bench to recover herself and Williamson approaches and recounts the story of how they met in their youth. An extended flashback scene follows set during what this cataloguer presumes is meant to be the American Civil War although that is never explicitly stated. Arrowrock like many daughters of the aristocracy worked as a nurse in a hospital tending to the war wounded and Williamson who was a soldier then was sent to the hospital to recover from being wounded. As Arrowrock nurses Williamson back to health he develops strong romantic feelings for her but never dares to tell her; even on their last night together when they both attend a ball at the close of the war Williamson can't work up the courage to confess his love.</p><p>Back in the present the nieces and nephews have been eavesdropping. They convince Arrowrock and Williamson to marry and let them marry each other since it was they who brought their aunt and uncle back together to make their feelings known. All five couples are then married simultaneously in a mass ceremony and the nieces leave home presumably to live with their new husbands; Arrowrock and Williamson remain in the former's palatial home.</p><p>The story's emphasis on finding true love is strongly reminiscent of the fotonovelas rosas pink photonovels or fotonovelas suaves smooth photonovels that were popular in the Spanish-speaking world in the mid-20th century albeit without some of the tropes of those later creations. Photonovels as we know them today emerged in Italy in the late 1940s and the present album presents as a sort of prototype of the photonovel resembling its content and use of visual narrative. It also has an extremely high production value for being homemade: the night scenes are presented in cyanotypes; indoor scenese that take place at night show electric lights switched on; and their are numerous costume changes and multiple extras.</p><p>A cast photo and list at the beginning reveals that many of the actors were related. That the fact that this album is likely unique or at least one of a very limited quantity and the photo laid in at the rear which seems to be of a real wedding between two older people in 1922 suggests that this may have been a keepsake or even a wedding gift. Moreover the album's final lines read "Y adios amigo lecter: esta historia . que ahora empieza / para ti ya termino." "Farewell dear reader: this story . which has now begun has for you now ended."</p> hardcover
171812727Madrid 1718. 3pp. on a folded folio sheet. Minor toning and creasing. Very good. An interesting pair of communications from Spain to colonial Mexico involving debts owed by local religious orders in the Yucatan and how to enforce collection of said debts. The transcripts of these letters were sent to the Spanish administrator at Yucatan by Father Joseph Sanz the Commissary General for New Spain. Here Sanz instructs the Provincial to identify which orders within the Yucatan owe money payable to the estate of the "Duquesa de Medina las torres" a title within Spanish peerage since 1625. In the second letter which begins on page two Father Sanz orders the local Commissary General to make sure that his orders to the Provincial are duly carried out. An instructive instance documenting the regular practice by Spanish authorities in extracting wealth from local Mexican subjects to send back to the gentry in Spain. unknown

With a cast ornament on title-page and 4 woodcut initials. One of four issues published in the same year of a pamphlet concerning the possibility of a truce with Spain containing the "considerations and reasons" proposed by the Dutch West-India Company WIC to the Dutch States General. After the loss of 's Hertogenbosch in 1629 the Spanish King Philip IV proposed a truce which left the Dutch Republic divided also causing debate between the Remonstrants Counter-Remonstrants and Calvinists who first wished to create unity before paying attention to Spain. The directors and shareholders of the WIC dreaded a truce with Spain since capturing Spanish ships was a large source of income for the company Piet Heyn had captured the Zilvervloot in 1628. It would also have thwarted the WIC intentions to conquer some Spanish territory in Brazil.With modern bookplate.

184110216Madrid: Boix 1841. Full Leather. Very Good binding. Folios. 12 335 1 4 334 2; 2 319 1 4 147 3 113 1 105 1 31 1 pp. Fifth edition. In marbled sheep. Tabbed markers applied by an early owner dividing the books and various indices. Light rubbing to the extremities and minor wear to the spine but a handsome and solid set; some early repairs to the marginal tears to a few leaves including the inner margin of the title page; light spotting to the contents but fairly clean and bright throughout. <br /> <br /> Handsome mid-19th century edition of the first comprehensive compilation of the laws of the Spanish Indies. Antonio Rodríguez de León Pinello compiled it by 1635 but it circulated only in manuscript until Fernando Jiménez de Paniagua brought it up to date and saw the result through the press in 1681. Prior to the publication of this massive work it was common practice for lawyers and courts in the various legal districts of the New World i.e. audiencias to compile in manuscript the laws in force in order that they might be used as precedents. Upon publication of this code the number of precedents did not as might have been expected decrease via "regularization" but instead increased: The courts continued to accept the cases and laws on point in the old local manuscript compilations and also those contained in the Recopilación! In sum this is a major work for all collections of international and Hispanic-specific law. <br /> <br /> The first edition is very uncommon in today's marketplace meaning most scholars and collectors must settle for a later edition such as this fifth — which has the advantage of being handsomely printed in double-column format. This copy is attractively bound as well. From the library of Marcelo Martinez-Alcubilla noted lawyer and legal scholar. His bookplate is on the front pastedown and name in ink on the title page of each volume. A 20th century Madrid bookseller's ticket on the front pastedown of the first volume this covers a 19th century bookseller's ticket. Palau VI p 223; Sabin 68390. Boix unknown

First edition.<br /><br />Cedula Latin means in general an order or authorization; in earlier times such a document on the authority of the king or a royal decree which for Spain and Spanish America was a decree issued directly by the monarch.<br /><br />During the second half of the eighteenth century the Spanish Crown monopolized the tobacco industry in its American colonies creating vertically integrated organisations which included factories for the production of cigars and cigarettes. Few economic activities were more vital to the development of the Spanish American economies that the cultivation manufacture and commercialization of tobacco. Tobacco was the second most important export industry in Spanish America at the time. The decision of the Bourbon monarchs to monopolize the industry was a critical component of their plan to increase government revenues through a renewed contract with the colonists. This Spanish royal decree issued at the end of the War of American Independence to take effect January 1 1784 alters the basis for the tobacco trade set up as a monopoly under Phillip V and establishing new regulations for the business. This decree mainly affected the American colonies including Louisiana.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Some soiling on front and back; last page has columns of numbers and damp-stain along edge one inner page heavily soiled near head else a very good copy in a fine enclosure.

From November 9 to December 12 1970 the Interzonal Qualifying Chess Tournament for the Candidates Cycle took place in the splendid city of Palma de Mallorca in Spain which in eliminatory matches would consecrate the challenger of the World Champion Boris Spassky. The expectation generated by the Interzonal competition in the chess world was mainly centered on the participation in the event of the North American Grandmaster Robert �Bobby� Fischer who came to the tournament as a favorite after his recent huge performances in the tournaments Zagreb who won with a 2-point difference and Buenos Aires won with a difference of. 3.5! in which he showed an enormous superiority against rivals such as Gligoric Smyslov Kortchnoi Panno and Petrosian just to name a few. For many connoisseurs the �Fischer� phenomenon had exploded confirming the laurels he had already achieved since his times as a child prodigy and it only remained to know if his somewhat unstable character would not play a trick on him in Palma.
