1911179415Tokyo.: 楠山正雄. Kusuyama Masao. Meiji 44 1911. Colour folding map 40 x 55cm inset maps showing the Philippines Alaska and Hawaii very good copy. This map was a supplement of October 1911 issue of a monthly magazine Shin Nippon 新日本 which was published between 1911 and 1918. The main map covers the contiguous United States with inset maps of the world showing the American territories of Alaska Hawaii and the Philippines.

Slight external rubbing and shelfwear; corners nudged; still a solid Very Good copy. Apparently the first full-length Soviet biography of the Argentinian revolutionary martyr and hero of the Cuban Revolution well-illustrated with photographic portraits and plates. <br /> <br /> According to Costa Rican investigative journalist Marjorie Ross "Lavretsky" was a pseudonym for Soviet master-spy Iosif Grigulevich who got his start as a hired hit-man against Trotskyist and Anarchist factions in the Spanish Civil War. She pegs him as the never-identied "third man" in the assassination of Leon Trotsky; and during the Cold War posing as an international coffee expert Grigulevich reputedly penetrated the highest levels of government and culture in Costa Rica Chile and Mexico during which time he was also the Kremlin's "handler" for Chilean poet Pablo Neruda and Mexican painter José Siqueiros see Marjorie Ross El secreto encanto de la KGB/ The Secret Charm of the KGB: Las cinco vidas de Iosif Grigulievich/ The Five Lives of Iosif Grigulevich.

1915224781915. Polk George Washington Jr. Havana and rural Cuba photo archive 1915 documents Cuba through the viewpoint of an American military traveler during the Platt Amendment era when U.S. power shaped Cuban sovereignty port security naval access and commercial movement. The photographs record ships in Havana Harbor coastal fortifications rural dwellings Cuban farmers agricultural landscapes and colonial plazas providing insight into how U.S. military personnel visually encountered Cuba just before American entry into World War I. The Platt Amendment gave the United States broad authority to intervene in Cuban affairs and required Cuba to lease land for naval stations remaining central to U.S.-Cuba relations until its repeal in 1934; this archive therefore places vernacular travel photography within a larger framework of military oversight and commercial access. <br /> <br /> Polk George Washington Jr. Havana Cuba vernacular photo collection. Havana Cuba: unpublished December 1915. Twenty-eight silver gelatin photographs pasted to album pages with some loose or partially detached ranging from approximately 2 x 2½ inches to 4½ x 3½ inches many with handwritten ink annotations dated December 22 to 29 1915. The images include vessels anchored in Havana Harbor harbor views from on board ship Morro Castle and other coastal fortification views colonial civic plazas local laborers and civilians thatched rural huts or bohíos sugarcane fields and agricultural scenes captioned "Orange Trees & Coconut Palms Near Havana." One photograph is captioned "Cuban Farmer & Son Near Havana Dec 22 1915" giving the archive direct documentary value for rural family life and American observation of Cuban agricultural communities. Other captions identify boats as "U.S.C. 5th Protectors off Havana" and refer to the United Fruit Company steamer Abangarez on the Havana-Colon route; the Abangarez was a United Fruit Company passenger and cargo vessel completed in 1909 and later brought under United States registry during World War I.<br /> <br /> The photographs combine military commercial and rural subjects in a compact record of U.S.-Cuban contact. Polk's annotations and the repeated Potchernick-Birdsong Co. Kodak Place San Antonio Texas stamps on versos indicate that the images were developed in the United States after the trip or sent home for processing preserving the path by which overseas military travel became a personal photographic record. Polk's later military service is supported by burial and veterans' records identifying George Washington Polk Jr. as born May 13 1889 died July 27 1976 and buried at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery; the supplied description identifies him as later a Colonel in the U.S. Army Air Corps and instructor in the early U.S. Air Force. Most photographs lightly pasted along one edge to scrapbook leaves with some detached or partially affixed; a few corner creases otherwise sharp images with strong contrast good to very good overall. Focused 1915 Cuba archive linking Havana Harbor rural Cuban labor vernacular architecture United Fruit maritime movement and American military observation during the U.S. protectorate period. unknown
