‎Paul CELAN (Trad) - (inscribed to Edgar JENE) - Paul VALERY‎

‎Die Jünge Parze - Exemplaire d'Edgar Jené • The Young Parca — Edgar Jené’s copy‎

‎Wiesbaden: Insel verlag 1960. Fine. Insel verlag Wiesbaden 1960 21.50 x 33.50 cm broché sous étui First edition of the german translation by Paul Celan printed on vergé. Slight foxings not serious on one cover of the slipcase. A good copy. Autograph inscription signed and dated by Paul Celan to the surrealiust painter Edgar Jené and his wife : ""Für Erica und Edgar Jené herzlich Paul Celan. Paris am 30. Oktober 1960"". This autograph inscription sent in 1960 seals 13 years of friendship between Paul Celan and the painter Edgar Jené. In a letter dated February 1948 addressed to the writer Alfred Margul-Sperber the poet enthusiastically described the talent of his friend whom he had met in Vienna a year earlier:  « Here he is so to speak the “pope” of surrealism and now I am his most influential and only cardinal. » According to Sieghild Bogumil the intellectual complicity between the two men was such that Celan even had the privilege of choosing the titles of some of Jené's works on several occasions. It was also in 1948 that the painter asked the poet to write an introduction to some of his surrealist works at an exhibition. Edgar Jené und der Traum vom Traume was born out of this collaboration and is now considered as Paul Celan's first attempt to theorise poetic art James K. Lyon.   Our first edition of Die Jünge Parze with its unique autograph inscription is a precious testimony to the bond that existed between these two major artistic figures of the 20th century.

‎1888 Cuban Administrative Expediente Concerning the Detention and Investigation of a Chinese Man in Matanzas Suspected of Being an Escaped Presidio Prisoner‎

‎Matanzas Cuba Havana. Good with no dust jacket. 1888. Non-Book. On offer is a rare archive of fourteen Cuban government manuscript documents concerning the detention and investigation of a Chinese man in Matanzas Cuba in November 1888 who was suspected of being an escaped prisoner from the Presidio de La Habana. The documents record the bureaucratic process through which municipal authorities provincial officials and the command of the Havana presidio attempted to determine whether the detained man was a fugitive who had deserted from the prison system two years earlier. Cases such as this illustrate the precarious legal position of Chinese residents in late nineteenth-century Cuba who were frequently subject to surveillance detention and identity verification by colonial authorities even after the formal end of the coolie indenture system. The case centres on a Chinese man who stated that his name was Lucio Memolien. The file begins with his detention by local authorities after he was discovered without identification papers. Because Chinese residents were required to carry documentation the man was taken into custody while officials attempted to determine his identity and place of residence. Two letters dated November 1 and 3 1888 document the earliest stage of the case. These communications show that the man had been detained by the Guardia Civil for lacking identification papers “indocumentado”. Acting under a government circular of 13 October 1887 provincial officials instructed the police to provide the detainee with a temporary pass so that he could travel to his place of residence and obtain the legally required cédula personal. One of the letters also admonishes a municipal official for forwarding the detainee improperly rather than following the procedures established in the circular. In these early communications the detainee is again described: “el asiático que dice llamarse…” Translation: “the Asiatic who says his name is…” reflecting the uncertainty authorities often had when recording Chinese names in Spanish documents. The surname appears with minor variations in the file most commonly Memolien but also Mamelion in one communication a common issue in files such as these where clerks attempted to approximate names phonetically. Shortly after his detention authorities began to suspect that the detainee might actually be José Rey a prisoner who had “desertó el día 23 de Octubre de 1886” deserted on the 23rd of October 1886 from the Havana presidio. This suspicion triggered an administrative investigation and the man was transferred through several levels of the colonial bureaucracy while officials attempted to confirm whether he was the escaped convict. Several documents record that the detainee repeatedly identified himself as “el asiático que dice llamarse Lucio Memolien” the Asiatic who says his name is Lucio Memolien though he remained in custody while officials attempted to verify his identity. One communication notes that he was being held “para la identificación que estime más procedente” for the identification that may be considered most appropriate while authorities investigated the possible connection to the fugitive. The documents also trace the suspect’s movement through the local administrative system. Municipal and district officials were instructed to locate and present him for examination. One report explains that he initially “no se halló en el lugar que Vuestra orden indicó” was not found in the place that your order indicated though he was eventually secured and brought before the authorities. Another document records that “a las tres de la tarde del día de hoy ha tenido ingreso en este establecimiento el asiático Lucio Memolien” at three o’clock in the afternoon of this day the Asiatic Lucio Memolien was admitted into this establishment. Because the suspected fugitive had escaped from the Havana prison system the provincial authorities ultimately referred the matter to the Presidio de La Habana for confirmation. A letter issued from the Comandancia del Presidio de La Habana reports that the detainee had been brought to the prison command for identification: “En el día de ayer… se incorporó a este Presidio un asiático que dice llamarse Lucio Memolien por presumirse que fuese el penado José Rey que desertó el día 23 de Octubre de 1886.”Translation: “Yesterday… an Asiatic who says his name is Lucio Memolien was brought to this Presidio as it was presumed that he might be the prisoner José Rey who deserted on the 23rd of October 1886.”After examining the detainee and comparing him with the description of the escaped prisoner the presidio authorities concluded that the man was not the fugitive: “y como el individuo citado después del oportuno reconocimiento resulta no ser el referido desertor. ”Translation: “and since the said individual after the appropriate examination proves not to be the aforementioned deserter. ”The investigation therefore closed with the determination that Lucio Memolien was not the escaped prisoner José Rey. The final summary of the file preserved on stationery of the Secretaría del Gobierno Civil de Matanzas records the outcome: “Expediente promovido a consecuencia de haber sido detenido el asiático que dice llamarse Lucio Memolien por creer ser el prófugo José Rey que desertó del Presidio Departamental de la Habana; y que después del reconocimiento resultó no serlo. ”Translation: “File initiated as a consequence of the detention of the Asiatic who says his name is Lucio Memolien believed to be the fugitive José Rey who deserted from the Departmental Presidio of Havana; and who after examination was found not to be the same person. ”Taken together the documents preserve the complete administrative chain of custody of the investigation. The Chinese coolie trade a system of indentured labor targeting young poor Chinese men operated between 1847 and 1874. The trade ran largely between Macao then under Portuguese rule and Havana Cuba then under Spanish control. Laborers were transported on ships many of which had previously been used in the African slave trade Yun & Laremont 2001. These vessels often carried names associated with slavery or ironically hopeful titles such as Africano Mauritius Dreams Hope Live Yankees and Wandering Jew Yun & Laremont 2001 p. 110. Conditions were frequently brutal. An estimated 16400 Chinese laborers died aboard coolie ships traveling to Cuba during a twenty-six-year period representing mortality rates between 12% and 30% though some voyages saw death rates as high as 50%. Although indenture ended in 1874 tens of thousands of Chinese laborers remained in Cuba in the decades that followed. Many lived under close surveillance by colonial authorities particularly when suspected of desertion from labor contracts or involvement in the penal labor system. This 1888 investigation into Lucio Memolien detained in Matanzas after being mistaken for the escaped prisoner José Rey reflects that broader system of monitoring and control. Physical Description and ConditionFourteen manuscript leaves approximately 20 pages of text forming an administrative case file from the Civil Government of Matanzas concerning the detention and identification of a Chinese man in November 1888. Eleven leaves measure approximately 6 × 8 inches with several larger leaves measuring approximately 8 × 12 inches. All are written in Spanish manuscript ink in clear nineteenth-century cursive hands. Most leaves bear district mail stamps and many are signed by the issuing official. One leaf is on “Presidio de La Habana – Comandancia” letterhead and another on “Secretaría del Gobierno Civil de Matanzas. ” One sheet bears the printed fiscal paper notation “Papel Oficio clase 14 – 40 centavos cada cien pliegos – Habilitado para el año 1888.” Two additional letters issued in Havana on 1 and 3 November 1888 concern the initial detention of the same individual by the Guardia Civil for lacking identification papers and the issuance of a temporary pass so that he might obtain a cédula personal in accordance with the government circular of 13 October 1887.Likely removed from a larger governmental expediente. Age toning minor bending small tears and light edge fraying though all text remains fully legible. Two leaves retain small pieces of Scotch tape applied by a previous collector as makeshift binding.

Some photographs are loose and a few appear to be missing but the album is quite full clear overlay sheets no longer sticking strongly meaning the photographs could be easily removed if desired long tear along hinge of upper cover. 32.8 x 28.5cm. A charming and historically interesting photograph album of a family of Korean residents in Japan Zainichi Koreans. Although the album appears to have been compiled around the 1970s it also contains older family photos dating back to the prewar period. <br> <br>One image shows the mother of the family with a woman friend taken in Busan Korea presumably before moving to Japan. Another photo of a young man was taken at a photo studio in the Amagasaki-Nadahama area of Japan between Osaka and Kobe: an area which had a large population of prewar Korean migrants. There are a number of delightful photos of the family's babies several taken with an older woman in Korean dress who may be their grandmother. A couple of the photos show Korean weddings while the pictures of the family's children show them sometimes in Korean and sometimes in Japanese dress. One image depicts a school class with children wearing headbands probably taken during the Pacific War. The family seems to have done quite well because the photos taken in the interior of their house show comfortable furnishings and electrical appliances from the early postwar decades. A fascinating insight into the everyday life of Koreans in Japan in the trans war era. . unknown‎
