Raimundo Strauch y Vidal nació para combatir las ideas y polÃÂticas liberales de la Aurora Patriótica Mallorquina dirigida por Isidoro MarÃÂa Antillón. Los extremos llegados por parte de Fr. Raimundo Strauch le constaron una larga prisión entre el 28 de julio de 1812 al 22 de mayo de 1814. Después de la Guerra de la Independencia fue numbrado el 12 de enero de 1817 Obispo de Vich. Fue vuelto a procesar en 1820 por sus máximas anti-constitucionales y preso otra vez en la Ciudadela de Barcelona. Cuando se le trasladaba a Tarragona fue asesinado en los campos de Vallirana cerca de Molins de Rey. Palau 322879 - Bover 1230 - XVI En la Imprenta de Felipe Guasp unknown
1890007460Paris: Georges Chamerot Pour les Amis du Livre 1890. Limited First Edition. Full Morocco. Near Fine. No. 109 of 125 limitation. Original wraps bound in. Charming color illustrations of the colorful habitues of the Paris streets -- of those who ply their trade on the streets -- merchants food vendors dog walkers etc. etc. Many of these might be living in the margins of society but they have an outsized role in the theatre that is the city street and in providing a soul to the city. A genre of color plate book popular in the early 19th century that Vidal updated and made his own. 8vo. 24 by 18 cm. 132 pp. 30 hand-colored plates. Plates though printed look as if they were original watercolors. The full morocco binding with Art Nouveau ornamentation was done by a G. Champs. Its beauty is commensurate with the book's contents. A beautiful clean copy. Georges Chamerot (Pour les Amis du Livre) unknown
1820WRCAM55021London: Published by R. Ackermann 1820. xxviii115pp. plus twenty-four colored aquatints including one double-sheet and three folding. Large quarto. Antique-style blue morocco boards tooled in gilt and blind spine gilt with raised bands a.e.g. Minor staining in lower margin and tape repair to verso of one folding plate. Occasional marginal thumbsoiling minor offsetting but on the whole quite clean internally. A very good copy handsomely bound. A superbly illustrated work about the people and places of Buenos Aires and Monte Video with striking colored aquatints by the prominent engraver and publisher R. Ackermann making this one of the premier South American view books. Some of the scenes people and places depicted are: "Monte Video" "Church of San Domingo" "Beggar on Horseback" "Pampa Indians" "General View of Buenos Ayres from the Plaza de Toros" "Balling Ostriches" "Guachos sic Rustics of Tucuman" and "A Horse Race." Also depicted are representative inhabitants of the Pampas and Rio de La Plata regions and picturesque views of outdoor markets and plazas. Originally issued in six monthly parts the work was then offered in book format apparently bound first in boards and in a later issue bound in half leather. Abbey follows Tooley in suggesting that there were apparently four issues all with the same title and plates and all with the same 1820 watermarks but he provides no satisfactory manner of differentiating the editions; and consequently aside from the original issue in six separate parts there is no means of establishing issue priority. At the time of publication Ackermann announced the production of 750 regular paper copies and fifty large-paper copies. <br> <br> "In 1820 began a series of books dealing with travel and scenery. The first was PICTURESQUE ILLUSTRATIONS OF BUENOS AYRES AND MONTE VIDEO with descriptions of scenery customs and manners by E.E. Vidal. The book was issued in six monthly parts seven hundred and fifty copies on elephant paper and fifty on atlas.The twenty-four aquatints all after drawings by Vidal four of them being large folded plates are engraved by G. Maile J. Bluck T. Sutherland and D. Havell.and possess a subtle charm of their own apart from their historical and geographical value" - Hardie. <br> <br> Aside from its perplexing publishing history this book remains a beautiful pictorial record of early 19th-century life.

"English interest in South America flourished after the capture of Buenos Aires by Commodore Sir Home Popham and Colonel Beresford in 1806 . Ackermann exploited the widespread and substantial interest in South American affairs that these events had aroused through a number of fine publications including these views" Thomson - The Exotic and the Beautiful.Tooley 495 the "only notable colour plate book dealing with the Argentine"; Abbey Travel 698; Thomson 31; Colas 3000; Brunet V:1182/83.

1820179207London: R. Ackermann 1820. Stunning views of South America First edition a desirable copy with pre-publication watermarks dated 1818 of "the only notable colour plate book in English dealing with the Argentine" Tooley. The hand-painted aquatints offer some of the finest depictions of early 19th-century life customs and architecture in the Río de la Plata region. The English sailor Vidal 1791-1861 joined the Royal Navy in 1808 serving as a purser for the next five decades. The plates in his book were based on drawings he made when he visited South America with HMS Hyacinth in 1816-8 as secretary to the admiral on the South American Station. They constitute "the main source of pictorial information about early Argentina" Speake p. 39 and "possess a subtle charm of their own apart from their historical and geographical value" Hardie. Some of the scenes included are "Monte Video" "Church of San Domingo" "Beggar on Horseback" "Pampa Indians" "General View of Buenos Ayres from the Plaza de Toros" "Balling Ostriches" "Guachos of Tucman" and "A Horse Race". Vidal depicts the inhabitants of the Pampas and Rio de la Plata Regions outdoor markets and plazas and buildings. "Through E. Vidal's watercolours. you get a sense of the city house facades Vidal never painted any interiors made not of rare stone but of baked adobe bricks called chorizos - sausages" Wilson p. 13. The work was first published in six monthly parts between May and October 1820. The early watermarks here suggest that this volume was possibly bound from the parts rather than from later book-form issues. Ackermann announced 750 small paper and 50 large paper copies. A comparison with the Abbey copy indicates that this example is from the smaller format. Large quarto 325 x 250 mm. With 24 hand-coloured aquatint plates 1 double-page 3 folding. Twentieth-century blue morocco to style spine with raised bands gilt lettering and decoration in compartments covers bordered with blind and gilt frames board edges and turn-ins elaborately gilt grey endpapers edges gilt. Light damp staining to margins of 3 folding plates tape repair on verso of "Buenos Ayres" plate offsetting to contents faintly toned but clean. A very good copy.
