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

1571HCLAD73TWO2SAntwerp: Christophe Plantin 1571. Modern vellum. 4to. With armorial woodcut on the title page. Rare royal decree on marine insurance addressed to the Council of Brabant replacing the decree of 27 October 1570. In 1569 the Duke of Alfa took a radical measure by banning all marine insurance. "This "provisional" decree of 31 March 1569 was abolished by an ordinance of 27 October 1570 of Philips II. Marine insurances were again allowed. Ships could only leave the port with the permission of an officer after an inspection of their armament. This decree also charged that all policies should contain a detailed report of the goods on board. Diego Gonzalez Gante was appointed to inspect these contracts. He also had to prepare an new instruction. This decree contained as well a formulary of an marine insurance. After a petition of the merchants and Nations of Antwerp a new ordinance was promulgated three months later on 20 January 1571. This decree provided that only ten percent remained to the own risk of the insurance taker. The goods the name of the vessel and the captain had to be mentioned in the insurance policy. To prevent fraud Diego Gonzalez Gante was also appointed to control everything. An insurance policy which was not recorded by him was to be declared null and void. Not only in Antwerp but also in Bruges Amsterdam and Middelburg people under his authority had full powers to verify this" Huybrechts. This decree also prohibited life assurance.With three lines underscored otherwise a very good copy and wholly untrimmed.l USTC 401508 6 copies; Voet 1981 4 copies incl. 3 the same; WorldCat 3 the same copies; cf.
