Ramon Verea was a writer and inventor who was best known for his invention of a mechanical calculator capable of multiplying large numbers with great speed an invention he never marketed but that has remained legendary in history of computing circles with a prototype held at the IBM corporate headquarters. He was also an editor and writer founding the magazine El Progreso in 1884. Known for his anti-colonial ideas he moved to Guatemala in 1895 and then to Buenos Aires in 1897 dying two years later.

1880182831880. California college graduation photograph circa 1880s documents the presence of an Asian student within a formally posed graduating class at a time of legalized anti Chinese exclusion and widespread racial discrimination in the American West. The image shows ten graduates holding diplomas with men in formal evening dress and women in white gowns presenting a unified visual statement of academic achievement and social standing. At the edge of the group a young Asian man faces the camera his inclusion within the cohort providing rare visual evidence of Asian participation in higher education during a period when Chinese immigrants and their descendants faced systemic barriers to citizenship employment and social mobility. Produced in the years surrounding the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 the photograph intersects with federal immigration restriction and regional anti Chinese sentiment in California where exclusion laws and social hostility sharply limited opportunities for Asian communities. The image offers documentation of educational attainment that stands in contrast to dominant narratives of exclusion.<br /> <br /> Large format albumen photograph circa 1880s measuring approximately 22 x 17 inches and mounted to a photographer's board bearing the imprint of Elite Studio San Francisco with gilt lettering along the lower margin. The composition presents ten graduates arranged in a formal studio grouping each holding a rolled diploma with attire consistent with late nineteenth century graduation conventions. The Asian student is positioned at the edge of the formation fully integrated within the group portrait. The photograph retains strong clarity in facial detail and costume with the large scale format emphasizing the ceremonial nature of the occasion.<br /> <br /> Created during a period when Chinese immigrants contributed significantly to the economic development of the American West while facing escalating legal restrictions the photograph provides a point of entry into the study of race education and social hierarchy in nineteenth century California. The passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act marked the first federal law to broadly restrict immigration based on nationality reinforcing racialized boundaries that shaped access to institutions such as universities. Within this context the documented presence of an Asian graduate offers valuable evidence of participation and visibility within elite educational spaces despite systemic exclusion. Crease to one side of the photographer's board with minor glue staining along the lower edge not affecting the image. Some light sunning at the top of the photograph; figures remain sharp and legible. Overall good to very good. unknown

Mm 125x190 Prima edizione. Collana "Epoche e viaggi" - Brossura editoriale di 316 pagine. Evidenti segni di usura da scaffale alla copertina, due etichette rosse e fioriture ai contropiatti, mentre all'interno il testo è perfettamente conservato. SPEDIZIONE IN 24 ORE DALLA CONFERMA DELL'ORDINE.
In folio (546 x 330 mm), frontespizio figurato e animato da personaggi emblematici, di notevole bellezza (J.C.Weijerman inv. et delin. - M.G.Grophius sculp.), 29 tavole a doppia pagina incise in rame e finemente dipinte da mano del tempo, decorate con scene allegoriche incise. Al verso del frontespizio è applicato un indice delle tavole abilmente calligrafato da mano coeva. Legatura in piena pelle floscia coeva con aletta e laccio, titolo impresso a secco al piatto superiore entro riquadro in alto al centro. Un po' usurata la pelle della legatura, ad indicare che l'atlante fu ampiamente consultato. Alcune fioriture sparse, brunitura uniforme alle carte di Hispania e Gallia. Nel complesso buon esemplare, stampato su carta forte. Assai bello il frontespizio allegorico così come la coloritura coeva. Questo decorativo atlante fu pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1720 con sole 16 mappe. Negli anni fu arricchito ed alcuni esemplari possono contenere fino a oltre 50 mappe. Matthia Seutter di Augsburg (1678-1757) fu allievo di Homann e ne continuò l'attività come cartografo, incisore ed editore di atlanti. Le carte contenute in questo esemplare: Globo Terrestre, Europa, Asia, Africa, America (in cui la California è raffigurata come un'isola), Portogallo, Spagna, Francia, Inghilterra e Scozia, Belgio, Olanda, Svizzera, Italia, Sicilia e Sardegna, Germania, Boemia, Svezia, Danimarca e Norvegia, Polonia e Lituania, Prussia, Moscovia, Ungheria, Grecia, Turchia e Terra Santa. Al presente esemplare è stata aggiunta un'altra carta dell'Italia (che presenta alcuni difetti), incisa da Giacomo Cantelli e datata 1694, applicata tra la carta dell'Italia del Seutter e quella del Regno di Sicilia. .
