18305862Various places in Peru 1830. Good. Seven broadsides and bifolia totaling 14pp. with each sheet measuring approximately 11.5 x 7.5 inches. Previously bound with stabholes and residue at left margin. Moderate worming affecting some text but not sense. Minor tanning and soiling. A group of seven highly ephemeral and seemingly unrecorded military broadsides and bifolia reports from Peru dating to the country's war with Gran Colombia from 1828 to 1829 and just after. The conflict stemmed from a border dispute after independence was gained in 1820 and 1821 with the boundary left relatively undefined. The Armistice of Piura formally agreed in September 1829 recognized Guayaquil and its surrounding area as a part of Gran Colombia and accorded Peru recognition of its modern-day northern provinces. The documents present here include an exhortation by Peruvian President Agustin Gamarra to support the prospective peace a report on the state of the Peruvian treasury in Trujillo during the midst of the conflict a bulletin concerning military developments in April 1829 addressed to the armed forces a patriotic broadside printed in Arequipa and a congratulatory address to the army printed on the day of armistice. The titles of these works none of which are individually recorded in OCLC are as follows:<br /> <br /> 1 Gamarra Agustin. El Presidente Provisoria del Peru a los Pueblos de la Republica.

186276434Lima: N.p. 1862. Original manuscript title or deed to the Hacienda San Jacinto in the Nerena Valley of Coastal Peru. While the estate is named after a Hispanic saint San Jacinto its origin dates back to pre-Inca times. Evidence of this is the remains of cultural settlements in Punkuri Kiske and Cerro Blanco. The Spanish Crown gave this land to the Jesuits in 1720 who introduced sugarcane as part of the agricultural production in this part of Peru. They also took it away from the Jesuits in 1767.Folio. 151 leaves with manuscript on both sides of each leaf i.e. 352 pp. Each leaf bears the required tax stamp the equivalent of a notary stamp at that time and each leaf is written on paper bearing the same watermark. Each leaf also bears a blind-stamp of a seal in the inner margin of each recto. Written in a numerous hands but all quite legible. Original full brown sheepskin with gilt spine lettering and devices pattern endpapers. Like a ready made binding used for legal purposes as the text block in considerably smaller than the binding. Altogether in very nice condition.This is the original transfer title for an estate of great importance and size in one of the most fertile parts of coastal Peru the Narena Valley. It consisted of 700 fanejadas of land about 1200 acres and all that stood upon it; primarily the sugarcane and alfalfa fields but houses tools farm animals furniture etc. In fact it seems that the original name for the property still bore and can be seen on the first page of this manuscript the word "Canaverales" which is a euphemism for sugarcane. This mammoth 302-page manuscript is basically an inventory of literally everything on those 1200 acres. The detail on the inventory is incredibly extensive; every table horse cow frying pan etc is listed and priced. It was first laid out as a sugarcane plantation in 1720 by the Jesuits. The Jesuits were expelled from the New World lands and missions in 1767 by the Spanish crown with King Charles III ordering their removal from all Spanish territories including the Americas due to growing political pressure against the order; the Franciscans largely took over the operation of the missions after the expulsion. When all their lands were confiscated by the Spanish government as happened throughout Latin America the Hacienda likely went through a number of hands. It was well regarded as a solid and lucrative sugarcane plantation and would have been considered a prize acquisition. We can find no history of the buyer named on this deed Santiago Sanchez but that is likely due to the fact that Spanish people have last names that can be written in a variety of combinations. But we do know that he paid 8697 pesos for it and that was a very considerable sum for the time indeed enough to place someone in a wealthy or influential social position. The most curious thing in the inventory which is lengthy and detailed in the extreme is the list of slaves. Ostensibly President Ramon Castilla y Marquezado declared slavery abolished in 1854 yet here we have a document that clearly affixes values to each and every slave and the prices paid for each by Sanchez. Prices ranged from 0 to 500 pesos. And there were a large number of them. Staring on p. 68 of the inventory we find them all listed and they are broken down into a variety of categories. Indigenous people African people male female young old and & "Inservibles" translates as "useless people". All slaves were examined by Dr. Antonio Manriquez surgeon and the most common reasons for being deemed "inservible" included: old age hernias ulcers and missing limbs. Their value was deemed to be zero. After being examined by physician the value accorded to each was dependent on their ability to work the farm. Surprisingly African slaves were valued less than local peoples this may have been due to the language issue. It should be noted that the slaves constituted a large portion of the total price paid. So it seems that this document gives lie to the previously believed fact that slavery was abolished in Peru in 1854. But we do not find this surprising as the gulf between the monied class and the populace was great and with no ability to enforce decrees from the central government the aristocracy likely just did whatever they pleased. Apparently Santiago Sanchez was ill-equipped to manage so many people and such a large piece of land as we know that in 1868 a Scotsman by the name of Henry Swayne bought the Hacienda San Jacinto an turned it into a profitable enteerpise by his humane attitude towards the farmers. "The hacienda or estate of San Jacinto was anciently one of the largest and finest in the valley of Nepeña; but before its purchase by Mr. Swayne a few years before our visit it had very much run down. It was deserted by the negro slave soon after their emancipation; the dwellings had fallen out of repair" The Fife Post. It remains a very lucrative farming operation to this day.We conferred with a native Spanish speaker and an individual who is fluent in Spanish and this report is the result. We might be incorrect but it is doubtful and in any case it is a fine 19th century manuscript deed to a large and valuable parcel of land in 19th century Peru. N.p. unknown

1900232171900. Peru glass lantern slide archive documenting Indigenous and rural life in the Perené and Cuzco during a period where the political economy shaped was by export agriculture regional extraction and foreign institutional interest. In this period Peru was governed by a coastal elite tied to export markets and to the expansion of state and commercial control into the interior and images of carriers river craft family groups and gathered communities register how Indigenous people were affected by that process through incorporation into frontier economies while also being recast for North American educational audiences as ethnographic subjects.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 6 black and white glass lantern slide photographs each 3.25" x 4" Peru early 1900s. Issued as lecture materials for the Philadelphia Museum. The group includes a family or community portrait posed before a thatched structure with adults and children wearing brimmed hats layered garments shawls and patterned skirts; a closer seated group of women and children gathered around large ceramic vessels; also includes a large outdoor crowd scene showing a densely gathered public space filled with adults and children; a posed family and community portrait before a rustic structure with men women and children wearing layered garments shawls and broad-brimmed hats; a closer domestic scene centered on seated women and children gathered around large ceramic vessels; a river crossing in the Rio Perené region showing an adult and child standing on a balsa or log raft using poles to navigate the current; an "Indian Carrier" posed beside a railroad car linking Indigenous labor and movement to expanding transportation networks; and a closer portrait of an Indigenous man framed by a larger crowd gathered behind him. Several slides retain typed or manuscript labels including references to "Rio Perene" and "Hutchins Indian in Balsa" while institutional labels read "The Philadelphia Museums" and "Negative by E. Tyson Hutchins / Use restricted to school lectures in museum" establishing the archive as part of a formal educational and interpretive program rather than private travel photography alone.<br /> <br /> The archive is particularly effective because it balances portraiture with broader communal documentation. The large crowd scene family grouping and market or gathering views shift the photographs away from isolated ethnographic "types" and toward visible social environments populated by children laborers families and community members. The railroad image and river crossing additionally place Indigenous Peruvians within the transportation and frontier systems increasingly tied to trade extraction regional movement and outside institutional observation in the early twentieth century. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries regions such as the central selva and Perené valley were increasingly bound to colonization schemes plantation agriculture and extractive enterprise while Indigenous communities faced land pressure labor demands and outside scrutiny from state agents missionaries traders and foreign observers. No cracks or chipping; crowd image lacking its original frame with glass and matte border loose; otherwise very good condition. A concise record of how Indigenous and local Peruvians were photographed within overlapping systems of frontier incorporation and museum interpretation. unknown

18512007AG1851. London & New York J & F. Tallis 1851. Original steel engraving / Vintage map. Drawn and engraved by John Rapkin. Partly hand-coloured. Plate Size: 24.7 cm x 33.8 cm. Sheet Size: 27.4 cm x 37.5 cm. Vintage 19th century map in very good condition. John Tallis 7 November 1817 3 June 1876 was an English cartographic publisher. His company John Tallis and Company published views maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851. Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842; the business moved to Smithfield in 1846 and was dissolved in 1849. From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858 selling it for £1370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. Wikipedia The most important project John Tallis undertook was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin 1815-1876 and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes people in their environment and even more so historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities architecture and landscape. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park London from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century and it was a much anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert husband of the reigning monarch Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time including Charles Darwin Samuel Colt members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë Charles Dickens Lewis Carroll George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".

18292505Arequipa 1829. 4pp. on a bifolium. Removed from a bound volume. A few small areas of worming slightly affecting text. Light toning and scattered faint foxing. An unrecorded and indignant diatribe concerning a mud-slinging match in the Peruvian town of Arequipa in the late 1820s which begins "Bien ruidosa ha sido la causa de los libelos famosos que corrieron ahora pocos meses en esta capital contra personas las mas notables de ella." The rest of the bifolium gives an account of the convoluted events that apparently involve several episodes of clear libel by several individuals for which their victims are having difficulty in obtaining legal remedy with the result that scandalous lies are now being spread with impunity. The author concludes by pleading for more swift reliable justice and equality before the law from authorities in Arequipa:<br /> <br /> "Si os mostrais débiles y preferis la inaccion sereis indignos de los destinos que ocupais. Patriotas y no patriotas todos son iguales ante la ley y no debeis permitir nunca que triunfe la impunidad: gloriaos en fin de padecer por la justicia pues asi dais el debido lleno à vuestros cargos."<br /> <br /> Surviving printing from Arequipa during this period is very scarce. unknown
