1922List01111Mexico 1922. Various sizes and formats generally preserved in excellent condition. Near Fine. Founded in 1902 the Foundation Company was a subaqueous concrete construction firm based in New York City. According to the Smithsonian the company was “a leader in the development of the pneumatic caisson method for the construction of foundations†— this method was used to build the skyscrapers of New York City and applied to many other types of construction projects as well. The Foundation Company archive consists of photographs blueprints correspondences and business documents relating to construction work that the company undertook in Tampico Mexico between 1915-1922. Tampico was the center of the Mexican oil boom that began at the beginning of the century. The foreign oil industry’s role in this boom was a key issue in the Mexican revolution that spanned roughly 1910-1920. <br /> <br /> After an American drilled the first oil well in Tampico in 1901 foreign companies descended into the town and took full advantage of the oil boom. The large amounts of oil in the region paired with the demand created by the allies in World War I — the United States and British Navies had converted from coal to oil — contributed to the rapid growth of the industry. According to historian Jonathan Brown “A booming foreign market and anemic domestic consumption of Mexican oil production gave many advantages to the foreign oilmen. They proceeded to create an Anglo-American capitalist haven out of the Huasteca.†The Foundation Company contracted with some of the most prominent oil companies in Tampico: El Aguila La Corona and the Transcontinental Petroleum Company. These companies were British Dutch and American. Foreign companies were attracted to Mexico because of the abundance of oil as well as the loose regulations: “At a time when the federal and state authorities in the United States were tightening the regulation of business and busting the trusts the expatriot American oilmen viewed Mexico as the new frontier of deregulation.†<br /> <br /> One reason that the Mexican government did not tighten regulations was because of the politics of the revolution. The competing factions of the revolution took advantage of the success of the oil industry — the only sector of the economy that continued to grow during that time — through taxes and forced loans. “Those who fought for political power and there were many sought to deny the federal authorities control of the oil fields. The result was a buildup of government resentment toward the freewheeling powerful foreign interests threats of drastic action against the oil companies but little governmental influence on how the nation's oil business was being conducted.†In this way the oil industry financed the revolution and also catalyzed increased economic nationalism. “Economic nationalism in Mexico had a social base and that is why the social revolution of 1910 to 1920 also produced an economic nationalism bent on reducing the power of the foreign oil companies.†The Mexican revolution produced the 1917 constitution still in place today which changed the rules for foreign businesses operating in Mexico. After years of companies resisting these regulations in 1938 President Lazaro Cardenas expropriated the foreign owned oil industry.<br /> <br /> The bulk of the documents in this archive are from 1921 and 1922 towards the end of the revolution. The documents are all written in English demonstrating the extent to which foreign companies were able to operate on their own terms despite their projects being in Mexico. The photographs and documents show the flurry of projects that the company quickly acquired in Tampico. In 1921 the Industrial Development and Manufacturers Record reported that “more big construction contracts are being carried out in the Tampico region at this time than ever before in the history of the oil industry in Mexico.†Indeed only a few months after beginning work in Mexico in 1921 the Foundation Company had 4000 men on payroll and 12 projects. These projects included a 30000-barrel refinery and 120 kilometer pipeline for the Corona Petroleum Co. and a 5 story office building for the Transcontinental Petroleum Co. The documents in this archive do not reference the revolution but they do demonstrate the rapid growth and resulting power that foreign businesses in Tampico enjoyed.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Inventory <br /> <br /> 25 photographs 8x10 inches April 19- Sept 30 1921. 12 undated. One cardboard pouch containing 5 photo negatives; pouch is 5 x 7 inches negatives are 3.5 x 5.5 inches.<br /> <br /> Most of the photographs are of construction sites and the company has used a placard to write the name of the contracting company the project type their own company name and the date. These signs show that the Foundation Company was working on an Oil Storage Tank Farm and a Bulkhead for El Aguila; and a pipeline super pumps “boilers valley†and pump house for La Corona. <br /> <br /> Two letters 8.5 x 11 inches 1921-1922. <br /> <br /> Dec 3 1921 letter is addressed to Grant Huntly and contains a list of materials required for the wall size used in the Transcontinental Building. July 12 1922 letter is from Edward Swann DA of County New York saying that Grant Huntley does not have a criminal record in the last 5 years. Addressed to Hon. Ernesto C. Perez Argentine Consul-General at a New York City address. Grant Huntley was an engineer at the Foundation Company.<br /> <br /> 5 documents relating to business operations 1915-1921. Ranging in size from 6.5x 8.5- 11x17 inches.<br /> <br /> These inventories spreadsheets and progress reports reference a bag loading plan in Richmond VA; a La Corona Warehouse at Panuco Valley Terminal; and the cost data of the Transcontinental Petroleum Company’s Office Building.<br /> <br /> 5 blueprints March - August 1921. One undated.

1868blb07086Boston: Lee and Shepard 1868. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good. Eggplant colored cloth with multiple varying width blind stamped rulings around border of front and back. Elaborate gilt decorations and lettering to spine - book is tight square sharp-cornered and free of major flaws or markings inside and out other than general but minor soiling to boards. Nice tissue guarded frontis by Nast along with multiple other illustrations. Book is Very Good. The popular work of ironic fiction written by journalist and political commentator David Ross Locke 1833-1888. Locke's greatest influence was through his satirical writings as ""Petroleum Vesuvius Nasby"". The Nasby letters harshly ridiculed the plight of peoples in the Confederate states and the complicity of Northern politicians. Both Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant recognized Nasby as a significant source of support for their presidencies. Locke's friend Thomas Nast 1840-1902 eventually heightened the work with his illustrations and was also credited by Lincoln for inspiring people to support the war effort. ""Nasby"" himself was portrayed as a thoroughly detestable character � a supreme opportunist bigoted work-shy often half-drunk and willing to say or do anything to get a Postmaster's job. Locke's own father had served as Postmaster of Virgil New York. At the time the Letters were written postmaster positions were political plums offering a guaranteed federal salary for little or no real work. Until the glorious day when he received a ""Post Orfis"" from Andrew Johnson Nasby worked when he worked most frequently as a preacher. His favorite biblical texts unsurprisingly were the ones that were used by Southern ministers to ""prove"" that slavery was ordained by the Bible. Lee and Shepard hardcover

Nasby September 20 1833 to February 15 1888 was an American journalist and early political commentator during the American Civil War. Locke's most famous work the "Nasby Letters" was written in the character of and over the signature of "Rev. Petroleum Vesuvius Nasby" a Copperhead and Democrat. They have been described as "The Civil War written in sulphuric acid." Like the "Nasby Letters" written before the war "Ekkoes From Kentucky" was written in the semi-literate spelling used by other humorists of the time most noteably Mark Twain. A very good copy.
