181319194PALMA: Sin imprenta 1813. Segunda impresión.- 4 tomos grabados.- Medidas totales: 32 x 44 cm.- Medidas plancha de estampación: 18 x 265 cm.- Escala en palmos Mallorquines.- Al pie de los grabados: ""Medida y diseñada por el Arquitecto Isidoro Velazquez - grabada por Francisco Jordán en Mallorca 1813"".

Por la textura de impresión podemos asegurar que se trata de una segunda estampación realizada entre 1850 y 1860. sidro González Velázquez 1765-1829 fue probablemente el arquitecto español más importante entre finales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX. Nacido en el seno de una familia de artistas se matriculó en la Academia de San Fernando en 1777 y en 1779 empezó a trabajar en el estudio del arquitecto Juan de Villanueva. Entre 1791 y 1796 fue pensionado extraordinariamente por Carlos III para estudiar en Roma. Durante la ocupación francesa José I le confirmó como teniente de Villanueva en las obras reales pero a pesar de ello en diciembre de 1810 salió de la corte con su familia y se exilió en Palma donde permaneció hasta 1814. A su regreso a Madrid Fernando VII le nombró arquitecto mayor. Francisco Jordan 1778-1832 fue un grabador natural de Muro Alicante. Fue otro de los grandes grabadores de la época de la Ilustración. Al igual que Isidro Velázquez se exilió en Palma durante la invasión napoleónica 1808-1814 y a su regreso se retiró al Convento de Cartujos de Porta Coeli donde continuó trabajando hasta su muerte. Muy buen ejemplar limpio y con todos los márgenes sin cortar. Elena Páez 'Repertorio de grabados españoles en la Biblioteca Nacional' 1110-10-13 Sin imprenta unknown

A new Texas commissioner came and assisted the survey of a part of the west boundary or one hundred and third meridian west longitude. In the next year 1860 when the United States commissioner surveyed the north and east boundaries it does not appear from the records that the Texas commissioner took part in the work and the United States commissioner did the work without any cooperation.</p><p>The east boundary being part of the lime between Texas and Indian Territory along the one hundredth meridian west longitude had been in part previously established by Jones and Brown surveyed in 1859 marking the boundary line of certain Indian lands which boundary by treaty of 22 January 1855 was the one hundredth meridian or the line between the State of Texas and the Indian country. Said surveyors had marked the one hundredth meridian from the north bank of Red River north to the Canadian River and about 19 miles further north and under instructions issued to the United States commissioner by the Secretary of the Interior for the survey of the United States and Texas boundary he was only required to retrace so much of said meridian as had been previously established by surveyors jones and Brown.</p><p>No part of the boundary survey has ever been agreed upon or accepted by the two governments as contemplated by in the act of Congress authorizing the survey.</p><p><strong>Condition: </strong>Corners gently bumped light self wear else better than very good in a custom enclosure.</p> Government Printing Office hardcover
