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.

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).

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

1904375175Panama 1904. 9 vols. Fine. 9 vols. Through the 1903 separation of Panama from Colombia and the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty the United States had secured rights to build a canal in the Isthmus of Panama. Legislation authorizing construction did not specify which government department would be responsible and Roosevelt designated the Department of War. Taft journeyed to Panama in 1904 viewing the canal site and meeting with Panamanian officials. The Isthmian Canal Commission had trouble keeping a chief engineer and when in February 1907 John F. Stevens submitted his resignation Taft recommended an army engineer George W. Goethals. Under Goethals the project moved ahead smoothl. unknown

190099653<p>Panama circa early 1900s. 1900s. Good. - Fourteen original silver print photographs of the Canal Zone each measuring 3-1/4 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide. The images include scenes of workers on and debarking from ships people strolling along village or town streets with horse drawn carriages what is likely an official residence and 5 images of construction work on what would later become the Panama Canal. One of the photos depicting construction work is a duplicate. The photographs are slightly curled with creases to the corners of a very few photos and minor chips to the edges of 4 of these. Very good.</p> [Panama], circa early [1900s].
