19612137Various places in Florida Mexico Cuba & Spain 1961. About very good. 138 original prints each 8 x 10 inches; mostly large format images with twelve contact sheet containing multiple smaller images and including several duplicates. Light wear at edges; slight curling. Occasional patches of scuffing or soiling. Scattered manuscript annotations and ink stamps on blank versos of photographs. An interesting aggregation of approximately 150 unique professional images that depict the travels and activities of the Latin American Fiesta Association of Tampa Florida. The cultural heritage group was founded in 1940 and flourished from the late 1940s to the 1980s and organized or participated in local social events had an annual ball and traveled widely across Latin America. The photographs here date from 1949 to the early 1960s and document the travels of association members to Spain Mexico and Cuba. They attended numerous events entertainments dinners and other social gatherings as well as made visits to attractions and local cultural clubs. In Spain and Cuba their trips seem to have been limited to Madrid and Havana respectively and there are some interesting series of travel images in Cuba from just prior to the Revolution.<br /> <br /> The group seems to have made multiple trips to Mexico and traveled somewhat more widely. Scattered images show the activities of the association in Florida as well and many of the prints have contemporary manuscript captions and ink stamps of local photographers and photography studios on the versos. In all a wide-ranging and quite engaging group of large photographs that document this midcentury Latin American social club in Florida. unknown
17965074Mexico City: May 13 1796. About very good. Broadside 17 x 12.25 inches. Old fold lines. Slight separation and loss at center fold slightly affecting a few letters. Minor wear else. Proclamation made by the Viceroy of New Spain authorizing trade between Cuba and the United States. The Caribbean was in tumult in the 1790s with Toussaint L'Ouverture overthrowing the French colonial government and outlawing slavery. Likewise in Cuba there was a similar revolt against slavery demanding abolition and equality -- both revolutions were of substantial concern to slaveholders in the American South. Specifically the present decree mentions flour and other vital foodstuffs as a measure against shortages in Cuba intended to prevent further trouble. "Para precaver la escasez de viveres y con especialidad de harinas que verosimilmente causaria la guerra concedio El Rey Permiso por Real Orden de 25 Junio de 93. para que los Anglo-Americanos.pudiesen conducirlos a la Havana pagando los derechos los puertos habilitados de España." The Viceroy at the time was Don Miguel de la Grua Talamanca de Carini y Branciforte First Marques de Branciforte. The Marques was notoriously corrupt even for colonial Spain having gained position through marriage to the Prime Minister's sister. He made sure to make some profit on everything that passed through his hands including taking advantage of the War in Cuba to remove the French from their lands and sell them to his benefit. A rare and interesting decree. We locate a single copy in OCLC at the University of Minnesota. May 13 unknown

1890LIST110Havana: R. Testar 1890. Albumen photograph on cardstock mount image measuring 7 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches on 8 3/4 x 5 1/2 inch mount. A view of an American warship in Havana harbor likely taken prior to the outbreak of hostilities between the United States and Spain in early 1898. The photographers Leach and Patterson of Calle San Rafael published several views of Cuba at this time mostly of bucolic scenes around Havana and its environs. The American cruiser is similar in design to the U.S.S. Maine with slight differences - two smokestacks instead of three. An excellent example with minor wear to mount and fine image. R. Testar unknown

18455182Habana: Impresas por D. V. de Torres 1845. Good. 533pp. Contemporary plain blue wrappers separated at spine. Stitched as issued with additional small stabholes at gutter where previously bound into a sammelband. Light foxing and dust soiling. A seemingly unrecorded architectural pamphlet that prints the first comprehensive building code for Havana developed in 1837 by Isidoro Sánchez y Fuentes the city’s Director of Public Works. The text outlines detailed rules for the construction of buildings and related infrastructure to accord to high technical aesthetic and public health standards influenced by such regulations as had been imposed in Madrid Toledo and Seville. Sánchez’s code proved highly consequential and it resulted in significant improvements to the appearance livability and safety of many Havana neighborhoods.<br /> <br /> In the 18th century Madrid Seville and Toledo suffered from many of the same problems of haphazard urban development as Havana. However great efforts were made to develop and enforce building codes which cleaned up most of these city’s formerly slum-like suburbs of great benefit to public health not to mention aesthetics. Teodoro Ardemans Madrid’s Director of Public Works began the reforms in these Spanish cities and his 1720 work on the subject was fantastically influential for generations going through multiple reprints until 1848. Isidoro Sánchez adapted Ardemans’ concepts but updated and improved them to the requirements of the tropical climate and customs of Havana. He thus developed the first comprehensive building code for the Cuban capital which was one of the most progressive and well-considered in the Americas. <br /> <br /> Two preambles begin the work by discussing the importance of taking architectural inspiration from the buildings of classical antiquity and of considering the historical context and significance of reformed Spanish building codes. The bulk of the text takes up a variety of interesting and practical topics -- erecting urban and suburban buildings; respecting neighbors’ rights when building homes shared alleyways building ovens in light of nearby homes; creating ventanas de medianería large windows that can open or close depending the temperature and breeze; how garages should open onto public thoroughfares; where building materials should be manufactured; building basements; building balconies etc. on public streets; drainage systems and sewers; creating wells and other drinking water sources; where to build forges without disturbing neighbors; large windows for basements; building attics; and air circulation.<br /> <br /> Sánchez presented his proposed code to the City Council on June 10 1837 and in 1839 it was approved in full by the Governor but the printing of the text was only approved in April 1845 according to the introduction. We locate no copies of this significant work in OCLC or available auction records. Impresas por D. V. de Torres unknown

195872030Havana: Santos Foto ca. 1958. Original Cuban Revolution era photograph showing a seated group of five people. 9 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches. In the center is a soldier very much trying to look like Che Guevara with a full beard and mustache in army cloths and hat and holding a rifle. Seated on either side of him are two couples all in street clothes and each of the men is holding a rifle. The guns appear to be Thompson M1 A1s which would place this photograph at the beginning of the Revolution before Soviet weapons were commonplace. The photographer Santos Foto Habana is identified in the plate and stamped on the rear. Ironically this picture is laid into a Empire Room Waldorf Astoria printed folder. It should be noted that Che Guevara once worked as a dishwasher at the Waldorf so this pairing is probably intentional. Santos Foto hardcover
16-4373Marseille France: 24 juillet 1941. . TLS with franked envelope approving a visa for André and Lucie Bollack of Cassis.Provenance Estate of Paul Lombard. Né en 1889 Paul Lombard a été rédacteur en chef de la revue L’Homme libre journal de Clémenceau et critique littéraire sous le pseudonyme de Louis Méritan. Paul Lombard est de ces critiques qui comme l’a montré Thierry Laget Proust Prix Goncourt Gallimard 2019 reprochaient à l’Académie Goncourt d’avoir décerné leur prix à un écrivain trop vieux trop riche : "Au lieu de cela cette année le prix Goncourt … échoit à M. Proust qui n’est pas jeune : il a conquis en peu de jours une notoriété dont j’ignore le secret ; le prix Goncourt même s’il l’a mérité ne lui sera d’aucune utilité" déplore-t-il dans L’Homme libre du 11 décembre 1919 p. 2. Probablement aurait-il préféré que Les Croix de bois de Dorgelès remportât de prix d’autant que l'écrivain avait été un collaborateur régulier de L’Homme libre.Expertise by Ségolène Beauchamp 86bis rue de Bellébat 45000 Orléans and Pierre Prévost 75 rue Michel Ange 75016 Paris.
