Madrid, Imprenta del Reyno, s.a. (1744). 8vo.; 8 hs., 222 pp. Ejemplar con rastros de polilla en el margen interior blanco de 35 pp. sin afectar al texto. Encuadernación en pergamino. Un texto de notable interés histórico, desarrollado en forma de un gran diálogo dramático-político en la cumbre del Olimpo entre los reyes de Prusia, Inglaterra, Francia, Portugal, España y la República de Holanda, que contiene detalladas relaciones de acciones de guerra en tierras americanas, como las expediciones del Almirante Vernon y los ataques a La Habana, La Guaira, Cartagena de Indias, saqueo de Portobelo, etc., así como sobre el ataque a San Agustín, en Florida, por el General Oglethorpe, gobernador de Carolina. Actualmente se atribuye la obra al médico protestante francés, exilado en Inglaterra y Holanda, J. Gautier de Faget, autor de "L'Argus de l'Europe . Ouvrage historique, politique, critique ; où l'on dévelope les intérêts & les maximes des souverains, depuis la mort de l'empereur Charles VI. jusques à la fin de la guerre que son auguste fille Marie Thérèse reine de Hongrie, grande duchesse de Toscane, soutient avec beaucoup de gloire" (Amsterdam, 1742-1743) y de la refundición de la obra anterior como "L'Oracle de ce siecle, consulté par les souverains de la terre : ouvrage singulier sur les affaires critiques et politiques du temps" (Londres, 1744).
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.

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

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
