It contains the Spanish translation of Olivier de La Marche's 1425-1502 Le chevalier déliberé made by Hernando de Acuña 1518-1580 the famous poet and translator of the Golden age of Spanish literature. The text was incredibly popular in its own time and is known to have been the favourite book of Emperor Charles V r. 1519-1556 who even commissioned the present translation.Olivier de La March 1422-1502 was a Burgundian courtier poet and chronicler. The present work is considered his best. It was first published in 1488 but earlier manuscript copies are known. The story was written in praise of Charles the Bold and describes a knights search for salvation in the form of a quest. At the start of the story he is impulsive and leaves his house without a plan. He is started along the way by "Thought" who brings him to realise how unprepared he is for the quest and his enemies "Accident" and "Debility". The knight befriends the hermit "Understanding" and eventually arrives at the house of "Study" where "Fresh Memory" begins his real instruction. While the story was originally written in prose the Spanish translation is in verse. It contains 379 numbered poems double limericks of 10 lines each and was first published in Antwerp by Jan Steelsius in 1553. The present edition is the eighth overall but the first by Plantin and the first with the 20 etchings which were most likely made by Pieter van der Borcht ca. 1530-1608 one of the regular illustrators of the Plantin Press. These etchings closely follow the iconographic programme established by the second incunable edition Gouda ca. 1489-1490.Hernando de Acuña represents the first generation of Petrachian poets in Spain. He is best known for his sonnets eclogues and elegies. Several works were dedicated to Charles V who admired him for both his military and literary talents. He fought with Charles V in Germany Italy and Flanders and with Felipe II in San Quentin before he in ca. 1560 abandoned his military career and went back to Spain to settle in Granada. His translation of le Chevalier délibéré was ordered and much esteemed by the emperor. It was originally published in 1553. In 1591 in the same year as our Plantin edition of El Cavallero was printed his Poesías varias appeared edited by his widow.The boards have been scratched. The work is internally very lightly browned and foxed the leaves may have been washed as the few annotations in the margins have nearly completely faded.

LAUNCH OF THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION AND THE "RED GUARDS" "HONG WEI BING." in May 1966 followed by the famous mass rally in Tiananmen Square august 1966: . The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution commonly known as the Cultural Revolution was a social-political movement that took place in the People's Republic of China from 1966 until 1976. Set into motion by Mao Zedong then Chairman of the Communist Party of China its stated goal was to enforce communism in the country by removing capitalist traditional and cultural elements from Chinese society and to impose Maoist orthodoxy within the Party. The Revolution marked the return of Mao Zedong to a position of power after the failed Great Leap Forward. The movement paralyzed China politically and significantly affected the country economically and socially. . The Revolution was launched in May 1966. Mao alleged that bourgeois elements were infiltrating the government and society at large aiming to restore capitalism. He insisted that these "revisionists" be removed through violent class struggle. China's youth responded to Mao's appeal by forming Red Guard groups around the country. The movement spread into the military urban workers and the Communist Party leadership itself. It resulted in widespread factional struggles in all walks of life. In the top leadership it led to a mass purge of senior officials who were accused of taking a "capitalist road" most notably Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping. During the same period Mao's personality cult grew to immense proportions. . The verso of the photograph has: a. Black ink stamped "Sun-Times Aug 30 1966" & 'rsb 18897" b.
