1853120122London: Rock Brothers & Payne. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1853. Unknown - Early UK Edition. Paper Covers. Two separate volumes. During the 1850s Rock and Co published a series of 16 prints of Welsh costumes 8 of which had bilingual titles. Most of the women in these are shown wearing very tall Welsh hats. The women represented were probably mostly from farmers families and most of the events depicted are special occasions. They were published in small oblong volumes showing just 6 in each volume. The fact that some of these were bilingual suggests that they were not just for the English visitors market. They often represent regional variations of Welsh costume but some of the backgrounds include recognisable buildings. Many of the prints are signed with the monogram TO and this was the artist and publisher Thomas Onwhyn 1811-1886. As this is published by Rock Bros. & Payne rather than just Rock & Co with the title 'Sketches of Welsh Costume' rather than '6 Plates of .' or just 'Welsh costumes' suggests that this is a New and Re-organised Edition when the firm was joined by Payne a litle later with a varied selection from the original 16 prints. Both volumes in cream printed paper wrappers printed in black with an embossed cream 'doily' design around the Titling on the front cover. Numbers I and 2 respectively printed on the top right corner. Books not dated per se but 1853 dated on each vignette. Internally Fine 1 vignette only had a very light patch of foxing on a blank corner. All the rest look 'as new'! 6 superb B&W steel-engraved vignette illustrations with a slight variation in size in each booklet. Most engravings captioned in both English and Welsh but a few in English only. Volume 1 depicts = 'A Bidding in Wales' ; 'A Wedding in Wales' ; 'Returning from the Wedding' ; Welsh Fishwives Llangwm Pembrokeshire' ; 'Return From Market Gower Glamorgan' ; and 'Welsh Chapels'. Volume 2 = 'Welsh Peasantry' ; 'Market Day Wales' ; 'Hiring Fair' ; ' Mode of Carrying Infants' ; ' Fishermen with Coracles' ; and 'Dressing the Grave with flowers' . No other text as issued. Scarce on their own - even scarcer is the set of 2. Images available on request. ; Prints; Vol. 1 & 2; Oblong c. 4" - 7" tall . Rock Brothers & Payne,

18607334Chicago: Cameron Amberg & Co. Printers; and Shober & Carqueville Lithographers 1860. Trade card 13 x 7.5 cm. printed both sides the verso in chromolithography depicting the interior of a dining car with tables set in anticipation of the passengers' meals. Text on the recto reads "These Dining and Restaurant Cars run on the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad between Chicago and Omaha are in all respects the most luxurious traveling conveniences on the American continent. A bottle of fine French wine is served for an additional fifteen cents with an Extra Fine Meal for which only seventy-five cents is charged. Passengers will bear in mind that these are not the commonly-called Hotel Cars with their attendant high prices and bed-room odors. Our Dining Cars are used for no other purpose. All meals on Overland Trains are served in them. A. Smith Sup't Dining Car Line." The company became the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad in 1866 the company changed names frequently. In the mid-1870s the company established its Chicago-Omaha route. As such this card likely dates between the mid-1860s and mid-1870s. The railroad became known for introducing the first "elegant" dining cars to passenger trains and the lithograph on this trade card by Shober & Carqueville Lithographers of Chicago exudes elegance indeed. No tears folds or bends; slight glue residue on back. Cameron, Amberg & Co., Printers; [and] Shober & Carqueville Lithographers unknown books

18915892Madrid: Tomás Minuesa 1891. Second edition. Softcover — Tapa blanda. 180x115mm. 7x4½". Madrid Tomás Minuesa 1891. 2 volúmenes. En 8º 180 x 115mm. -I: xvi-223 pp. -II: 220 pp. Rústica deteriorada. Segunda edición. La primera edición se publica en Lima en 1681 y es rarÃsima y del mayor aprecio. Esta segunda edición también es de aprecio se publicó dentro de la Colección de libros raros y curiosos que tratan de América. "El Tratado único y singular del origen de los indios occidentales del Pirú México Santa Fe y Chile de Diego Andrés Rocha es junto con la obra de Fray Gregorio GarcÃa uno de los compendios más completos del siglo XVII acerca de la cuestión más candente y polémica entonces como ahora la de conocer de dónde y cómo vinieron a poblarse las Indias antes de que llegasen a descubrirlas los españoles a partir de 1492. En ese sentido puede decirse que Diego Andrés Rocha fue un ingenuo erudito que acumuló los saberes de un sinnúmero de otros autores como Vespucio AnglerÃa Fernández de Oviedo Betanzos López de Gómara Cieza Zárate Las Casas Ercilla Cabello de Balboa Acosta Dávila Vargas Machuca Herrera Torquemada Calancha y sobre todo Gregorio GarcÃa a quien sigue muy de cerca. Como dice Sánchez Alonso Diego Andrés Rocha «pone al servicio de su hallazgo por el que muestra una ingenua satisfacción la erudición que tiene a su alcance exponiendo primero las opiniones distintas que habÃa y después todos los textos y componentes de la suya». La mayor parte de libro de Diego Andrés Rocha está dedicado a presentar y defender dos tesis muy diferentes entre sÃ: la de que los indÃgenas americanos descendÃan de los españoles y la que señala a las diez tribus perdidas de Israel como las que dieron origen a la población del Nuevo mundo. La primera de esta tesis -tan singular por otra parte- sólo se explica si tenemos en cuenta la necesidad de hallar tÃtulos suficientes que justificasen la posesión de aquellas tierras por parte de los españoles. Ante el Papa y ante el mundo de la época era necesario hallar «justos tÃtulos» para tal hecho. Esta peregrina teorÃa vendrÃa asà a apoyar la tesis hispanista" Sinopsis a la edición de 2010.
