List3132Montevideo Uruguay N.d. Photo album with thirty-six captioned photos measuring 6 ¾ x 9 ¼ inches mounted on heavy cardstock. Album embossed “INDUSTRIA LANERA DEL URUGUAY S.A. / ILDU / MONTEVIDEO URUGUAYâ€. Photos with fine contrast two missing; slight wear to mounts and album; else Near Fine. Industria Lanera del Uruguay is a Montevideo-based wool manufacturing company that was founded in 1933. Offered here is a photo album likely from the late 1950s to mid-1960s showcasing ILDU’s high-tech factory—an introductory page from the album claims that ILDU had “a policy of yearly replacements†of equipment to keep “abreast of all technological improvementsâ€. The photos which are all captioned document the worsted wool manufacturing process from sorting and scouring to dyeing and weaving; the laboratories that test the product’s moisture level tensile strength and so on; and the luxurious “sample room†where gentlemen examine the finished product while relaxing in leather armchairs.<br /> <br /> Textiles especially wool made up a large percent of the Uruguayan manufacturing sector before 1960. Though manufacturing was slow to start because of a small population and political instability in the country and because so much of the country’s open space was taken up with ranching there was a massive boom in wool manufacturing in particular between the 1930s and 1950s.1 ILDU was one of the largest worsted wool companies in the ‘30s and is still operational today.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of South America’s manufacturing history.<br /> <br /> 1 Magdalena Bertino “La industria textil uruguaya 1900–1960†América Latina en la historia económica 31 June 2009: 99–126. unknown

18426316London: T.R. Harrison 1842. Near fine. 38pp. stitched. Very minor bumps to top edge of first leaf light dust-soiling to outer leaves. A very rare treaty between Queen Victoria’s Britain and the “Oriental Republick of the Uruguay†printed in both English and Spanish in two parallel columns throughout. According to the text the parties were “mutually animated by a sincere desire to co-operate for the utter extinction of the barbarous Traffick in Slaves.for the special purpose of immediately attaining this object so far as relates to the total and final abolition of the Slave Trade of the Oriental Republick of the Uruguay.†The treaty is comprised of fourteen original articles plus three annexes totaling forty-six additional articles and four additional articles at the end covering a host of issues pertaining to the suppression of the slave trade. These issues included enforcement procedures the establishment of “Mixed Courts of Justice†“Regulations in respect to treatments of liberated negroes†and much more. With regard to slaves found on international vessels the two nations hoped for “permanent good treatment and a full and complete emancipation according to the humane intentions of the Parties of the Treaty.â€<br /> <br /> The present treaty was part of a larger effort by the British Crown to put an end to the transatlantic slave trade in the first half of the 19th century; at this same time Britain had reached terms on a similar treaty with the Republic of Texas and other nations. The document is signed at the end in type by J.H. Mandeville and Jose Ellauri representatives of the two countries who originally signed the treaty at Montevideo on July 13 1839; the present work was “Presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty†in 1842 likely due to bureaucratic delays. Uruguay would have been an important ally for Great Britain in monitoring the seas against the transatlantic slave trade given its position opposite the South Atlantic Ocean from West Africa. OCLC records just a single physical copy of this treaty at the University of Arizona.<br /> <br /> Cundall 2854. T.R. Harrison unknown
