2753ALS. 3pg. 8†x 10â€. July 20 1913. Balboa. An autograph letter signed “James†to his mother. James was working on the Panama Canal: “…We are having real nice weather here in Balboa. I got up rather early this morning and it is now 6:30 A.M. – and the thermometer is just 76 so that it is really comfortable – as you can imagine. Some of the boys that are new-comers here want me to go across the canal to a native village with them as I talk Spanish and they thought I could guide them a little better as I know the culture and language of the natives. One man is sort of a horticulturist and agriculturist from one of the western states just came here to work on the docks & terminals and he is very much interested in plant and jungle life here. I have told him about none of the…that I have found along rivers and in swamps and he is so much interested in finding some himself but they are a little hard to find that is you usually find them when you least expect to run into them…there is such little duty into Panama really – if any…we had a shake up in organization and fortunately I came out with the survivors – and have a real nice job. Am still on the permanent town site works and terminals and like that work so much…â€. The letter has the usual mailing folds but is in very fine condition otherwise. unknown books

18235754Panama: Jose Maria Goytia 1823. Very good plus. Broadsheet handbill 8.5 x 6 inches. Minor creasing. Faint dampstaining at right edge. An extremely rare statement by Spanish general Melchor Aymerich following his final defeat in Ecuador by Antonio José Sucre and subsequent flight to Panama in 1822. Aymerich the "Mariscal de Campo de los Ejercitos Españoles" and "Jeneral en Jefe de las Armas Españolas" states that he and his family traveled lodged and ate at their own expense following his defeat at Pichincha by Sucre and subsequent capitulation. No money or provision of any kind was provided to them by the Republic of Gran Colombia. He continues to declare that they traveled from Quito to Guayaquil and thence to Panama and would soon be departing for Havana. While in Panama he was the guest of the Commandant of the Isthmus Colonel José Maria Carreno and he thanks the Colonel and his family for their generosity and assistance. Although the caption title of this broadsheet states that it is an "Addicion" to a lengthier "Manifiesto" this prior work does not seem to have survived.<br /> <br /> The present handbill is a very early Panamanian imprint. There is no evidence of there having been printing in Panama during its colonial period and exactly when the first press was introduced there is unclear. OCLC locates a single copy of a call for independence in New Spain published by the present printer José Maria Goytia in 1821 and vanishingly few issues of two newspapers established in 1822. Medina traces an 1822 sermon as printed in Panama and we locate a smattering of other imprints from this period including the present handbill of which OCLC notes a single copy at the John Carter Brown Library; we know of one other at the New York Public Library. Jose Maria Goytia unknown

Album fotografico cm 22,5 x 19,5, contenente 21 fotografie originali cm 17 x 12,5 applicate sui fogli dell'album. Legatura in tela con al piatto anteriore in oro la dicitura 'Album G. Manfredi'. Il nome G. Manfredi compare anche in calce a tutte le fotografie che hanno a loro volta una didascalia stampata sulla foto stessa. La raccolta presenta le immagini di: Lima (Puente de piedra; Plaza de S. Ana; Palacio Exposition; Puente Verrugas ferrovia de Oroya; Darsena Callao). Kingston, Giamaica (Parco Vittoria; Raccolta dei Banani; Vista generale; Via della Chiesa; Montegobay (3); Falmouth; Callerey (2); Panama (Calle de Soles; Costa; costruzioni e scavi probabilmente legati alla realizzazione del canale). Le fotografie presentano una uniforme sbiaditura che pero' non ne compromette la leggibilita'. Il fatto che a margine di un supporto in cartone sul quale non e' stata applicata alcuna fotografia, compaia a stampa l'indicazione: Foto G. Manfredi - Vestigne' (Ivrea), puo' far identificare l'autore in Giuseppe Manfredi, autore nel 1913 dei Ricordi storici di Vestigne'.
