Vanderbilt, Cornelius
Cornelius Vanderbilt Signed New York and Harlem Rail Road Company Stock Certificate.
New York: American Bank Note Co 1864. Rare New York and Harlem Rail Road Company stock certificate signed by one of the wealthiest Americans in history Cornelius Vanderbilt. Oblong octavo one page partially printed and accomplished in manuscript the certificate is dated April 12 1864 and grants John M. Dobin 500 shares in the New York and Harlem Railroad Company. Signed by Cornelius Vanderbilt on the verso. In near fine condition. Matted and framed with a portrait of Vanderbilt and an informational placard. The piece measures 17.6 inches by 28 inches. "Contemporaries too often hated or feared Vanderbilt or at least considered him an unmannered brute. While Vanderbilt could be a rascal combative and cunning he was much more a builder than a wrecker . being honorable shrewd and hard-working" H. Roger Grant. From adolescence Cornelius Vanderbilt showed signs of entrepreneurial spirit starting his own ferry service at just 16. In those starting years Vanderbilt's voraciousness earned him the nickname "The Commodore" telegraphing what the future might bring for such an industrious young man. With enough time "The Commodore" succeeded in organizing a steamboat freight empire and began expanding into the railroad industry with his purchase of stock in the New York and Harlem Rail Road Company line one of the first railroads in the United States. His goal was to take the railroad which was generally considered worthless and make it valuable. Five years later after much work he consolidated it with the Hudson River RR to form the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad one of the first giant corporations in United States history. "Vanderbilt vastly improved and expanded the nation's transportation infrastructure contributing to a transformation of the very geography of the United States. He embraced new technologies and new forms of business organization and used them to compete.He helped to create the corporate economy that would define the United States into the 21st century" T. J. Stiles 'The First Tycoon'. American Bank Note Co unknown

1949-1960s Manuscript Guestbook from an Art Exhibition Organized by the Asociación De Repórters De La Habana Círculo Nacional De Periodistas for Cuban Artist marko Pioneer of Three-Dimensional Tobacco Art
Havana Cuba: Asociación De Repórters De La Habana. Very Good with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer is a manuscript guestbook documenting a unique intersection of pre-Revolutionary Cuban journalism and vernacular art. The volume was used for visitors signatures and remarks during an exhibition devoted to the work of Cuban artist Marco A. Llaneras de Sierra Marko organized by the Asociación de Repórters de La Habana Círculo Nacional de Periodistas. The exhibition opened on October 3 1949 and presented personal caricatures landscapes portraits and decorative paintings made with cigarettes tobacco matches cut tobacco and paper in their natural color or polychrome and three-dimensionalthis being the first time this type of work has been done. Marko was celebrated as creator of a new artistic genre that fused Cubas tobacco culture with modern visual art. This manuscript is special as it contains a collection of writings by Cuban news reporters those involved with the Association of Reporters leaders in the burgeoning field of Cuban journalistic education and contemporary Cuban artists. The first pages record about 63 visitor signatures followed by additional sign-in lists and roughly 72 handwritten comments to and about Marko dated between October 311 1949. There ae also some later entries that are related to Marko but not to the 1949 exhibition with one entry from 1950 and several longer texts written in 196768.A list of some of the signatories and well-wishers who identify themselves as members of the Cuban press community followsOdilio Melo Fernandez Vice-President Asociación de Corresponsales de la Prov. De HabanaMario Misquial Arrieta Sec. Coms. Asistencia Social Asociación de Reporters de la HabanaEligio Pazos San Martín Chinelo member of A. M. P.

Benavides sculptor and painter graduate of the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes San Alejandro Otto Zimmermann Professor of Drawing and PaintingOne English-language note stands among the Spanish entries: Marko You are a fine artist. Cuba can be very proud of you as America will be when they can see your work. - Capt. R. E. Brooks U. S. Marine Service Miami Fla. Translated excerpts from some Spanish guestbook entries convey the tone of admiration that surrounded the exhibition the artist and hint at a vision for Cuba held by these journalists and artists: A very Cuban artistic modality is presented by our valuable fighter "Marko!" Cuba so lacking in vernacular expression in painting has found in this modality
not only a magnificent form of sympathetic and attractive
procedure to offer very interesting notes possible for acquisition to the tourist who visits us. The artistic system of "Marko - colored tobaccos cigars and cut tobacco - should be taught in our educational centers
to be carried out by our people - David Aizcorbe Havana October 5 1949.Cigarettes matches and tobacco. Once you've smoked them you throw them away. Marko has turned these things into something useful
Hes given us works of art a product of his originality. - A. Villatta
The exhibition
constitutes not only for its creator but also for all art lovers a satisfaction that prides itself on demonstrating the quality of cultured and civilized beings. To create a new modality in the life of a society is to satisfy a desire in the restless desire of men. - Mario Misquial Arrieta Sec. Coms Asistencia Social Ass. De reporter de la HabanaThe smoke doesn't matter if it's lost in space if the artist masterfully retains the cigars and tobaccos to create beautiful works of art. - E. Peias July 1950After contemplating the paintings of my good friend Marko it is a true pleasure to express my admiration
He demonstrates true talent in all fields. - Otto Zimmermann Havana May 1967 The later entries from the 1960s include a lengthy letter from Margarita Perrez written in 1968 which reads as a biographical tribute. She describes Marko as a baritone singer painter sculptor poet and author active in theatre and film then working in education while continuing his art. This manuscript guestbook captures a singular moment when Havanas press corps celebrated an artist who turned the islands most iconic producttobaccointo a new visual medium. With its blend of journalistic artistic and educational voices it offers rare documentary evidence of pre-Revolutionary Cuban cultural life and of the early recognition of a genuinely vernacular artistic innovation. CONTEXT & BIO NOTESThe Asociación de Repórters de La Habana founded in the early 1900s by journalists led by José Camilo Pérez of La Discusión sought to promote unity and welfare among Cuban reporters. In 1941 it became the Círculo Nacional de Periodistas which organized the First National Congress of Journalists that same year attended by more than forty press associations. The congress codified ethical and professional standards and paved the way for the Colegio Nacional de Periodistas and Cubas first journalism schools. By 1959 these professional organizations were dissolved or absorbed in the revolutionary restructuring of the press leading to the creation in 1963 of UPEC Unión de Periodistas de Cuba the national journalists union that still exists today. The guestbook thus preserves firsthand testimony from the final decade of Cubas First Republic when journalism and the arts still flourished within an independent civic framework. Research suggests that Marko was Marco Antonio Llaneras de Sierra b. 1909 son of Marco Antonio Llaneras 1883 and Hermenia Llaneras. He worked as a draftsman baritone singer and inventor residing part-time in Florida. U. S. Patent no. 2558828 granted 1951 lists Marco A. Llaneras de Sierra as inventor of a cylindrical drawing pen. Archival traces also indicate authorship of a religious pamphlet. The signature of Hermenia Llaneras appears among the exhibition attendees further supporting the identification. Hard-backed lined journal approximately 9 × 7 in. 54 pages of ink inscriptions in Spanish and English. The cover is chipped and the spine is detached but pages secure. Several blank leaves removed from the rear likely unused. A printed exhibition pamphlet listing the titles of Markos works is tipped in at the front. Overall Fair condition.; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 54 pages; Signed by All Authors . Asociación De Repórters De La Habana hardcover

1980s1990s Archive of the Post-Revolutionary State-Run Havana Music Industry and Beloved Cuban Musicians Primarily Benny Moré
Havana Cuba. Good with no dust jacket. Ephemera. On offer is a small but significant archive related to Cuban singer Bartolomé Benny or Beny Maximiliano Moré Gutiérrez 19191963 better known as Benny Moré. The archive is equally important for its connection to the post-Revolutionary Dirección Provincial de Cultura del Poder Popular and to the musicians it promoted. The centrepiece of the archive is a 32-page printed program for a September 1981 live cultural event held at Havanas Teatro América being the Segundo Festival Provincial de Música Cubana Benny Moré. The festival featured a competition between thirteen Cuban musical acts gala tributes honouring César Portillo de la Luz and Roberto Faz and related performances by leading Cuban musicians. The program opens with an introduction by Guanary Amoedo praising post-Revolutionary Cuban artists. A translated excerpt reads: The Revolution has allowed our instrumentalists orchestrators composers and artists in general to reach a high technical level which is constantly improving
we are not surprised by the quality of the works presented at the Second Provincial Festival of Cuban Music Benny Moré organized by the Provincial Directorate of Culture of the Peoples Power whose fundamental objective is the development stimulation and promotion of Cuban music. The program lists the jury orchestra conductors invited orchestras and production team and outlines the events for each festival day with the featured artists. Each of the thirteen competing acts receives a two-page spread with a full-page black-and-white photograph performance credits composer orchestrator and performer and complete song lyrics. Among the thirteen competitors were: No Tardes composed by Carmen Faxas orchestrated by Pedro Coto performed by Cuarteto Yo Tú Elle y EllaEl Son composed by Joaquín Mendívil Guerra orchestrated by Neffer Milanés performed by Magaly TarsPequeño Tema Para Decir Te Quiero composed by Gustavo Casals orchestrated by Rafael Casas performed by Miguel Ángel PiñaBenny Moré Presente! composed and orchestrated by Sergio Calzado performed by Estrellas CubanasConfío Amor composed by Francisco Garzón Céspedes and Jorge Garciapourrua Álvarez orchestrated by Edegio Alejandro performed by Estherlierd MarcosUnverified online sources report that Joaquín Mendívil Guerra won the competition with El Son Algaret 2010. The festivals Artistic Director was Braulio San Agustín assisted by Luis Montalvo. It was hosted by Eduardo Rosillo Marialina Grau Aseneh Rodríguez and Ramón Fraga and organized by the Centro/Unidad Provincial de Espectáculos y Carnaval de Ciudad de La Habana a branch of the Dirección Provincial de Cultura del Poder Popular SEE BIO NOTESThe program illustrates the early results of Cubas post-Revolutionary centralized entertainment management system and offers an exceptional snapshot of the early-1980s Cuban music scene both the institutionalized remembrance of Benny Moré and the states curatorial role in national music culture. Rounding out the archive are two postcards printed in 1999 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Benny Morés birth published by Ediciones Pontón Caribe S. A. each featuring a black-and-white photo under rights held by BISART. The first postcard titled ¿Dónde estabas tú shows Moré looking curiously at a contemporary. The second untitled postcard is a close-up profile of Moré. These editions produced jointly by BISART and Pontón Caribe attest to his enduring posthumous fame and Cubas continued institutional commemoration of its musical icons. The festival program measures approximately 10 × 7 inches and is in Good condition with mild age toning and some spine separation at the staples but remains intact. The postcards are Very Good with only light toning. Included for context as a gift to the buyer and at no charge are three printed photographs of Benny Moré produced on Kodak paper in the 1990s and held by the Cuban collector who assembled the archive. These are not originals but complementary reproductions. BIO NOTESIn post-Revolutionary Cuba the government centralized cultural administration eliminating private promoters and absorbing them into state agencies overseen by the Dirección Provincial de Cultura del Poder Popular. This Directorate organized public shows managed artists contracts and coordinated the Havana Carnival Cubarte 2007; Bibliografía Cubana 1981; Archivocubano n. D. . A related unit the Unidad de Casas de Cultura supervised community arts centres and promoted local participation in music theatre and visual arts Regalado 2010. Other branches covered libraries museums and film exhibition all reporting through the provincial Dirección as part of the states centralized cultural network Granma 1981. The Havana coordination of carnival and public spectacles was carried out by a provincial-level body variously titled Centro Provincial de Espectáculos y Carnaval Empresa Provincial de Carnavales or similar entities under the Dirección Provincial de Cultura. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . unknown
