Albumen Photo of an 1885 Political Cartoon Opposing Central American Unification
Good. Scarce political cartoon albumen photo of a drawing on a cabinet card mount condemning the short-lived 1885 attempt at reuniting the five Central American republics led by Guatemalan General Justo Rufino Barrios. Guatemala and Honduras supported the effort while Nicaragua El Salvador and Costa Rica opposed it as did Mexico. Barrios was considered dictatorial and overly ambitious by his opponents and is depicted here as a rather skinny lion with Mexico holding its tail and identified as the "American Nero." Several of his "victims" are depicted as skulls underneath the lion. Costa Rica Nicaragua and El Salvador are personified as beautiful women under a banner reading "Unidas no nos come el 'Minotauro'" -- "United we will not be eaten by the Minotaur." Britannica says "Barrios became Guatemalan army commander and the power behind the president Miguel GarcÃa Granados in 1871 when the Conservative Party government was overthrown. After replacing GarcÃa Granados in 1873 Barrios carried out sweeping reforms based on his liberal philosophies. His presidency became known as “the Reform.†He subjugated the local aristocracy; expelled the Jesuits and confiscated church property; established civil marriage and divorce; enlarged and laicized the school system; built highways railroads and telegraph lines; encouraged the growing of coffee as the basis of the country’s agriculture; and promulgated a new constitution 1876. about unification by force but he was killed in battle while invading neighbouring El Salvador. He intervened repeatedly in the affairs of the other Central American republics in an effort to restore the five-nation federation that had collapsed in 1838. When political persuasion failed he attempted to bring about unification by force but he was killed in battle while invading neighbouring El Salvador." Mount measures 4.25 x 6.25 inches contrast is light. PLEASE NOTE -- our first two images are an accurate representation of the image. The third image has enhanced contrast to aid in viewing the cartoon. unknown

Pablo Picasso, Marie-Laure Bernadac (Booklet); Jean Marie Clarke (Translator)
Guernica : The 42 Preliminary Studies on Paper the Prado Museum Cason del Buen Retiro Reproduced in Facsimile
New York: Harry N. Abrams Inc. Publishers 1990. Facsimile Mounted Prints in Clamshell Case. Near Fine. Very Large Folio: . Pablo Picasso. This edition which reunites for the first time the preliminary studies on paper that Picasso made for Guernica was printed on April 18 1990 by Akademische Druck-u Verlagsanstalt in Graz Austria. Forty-two color reproductions of select art from Pablo Picasso's work mounted in thirty-one carton mats all present. Housed in a large clamshell case in black with white lettering and color illustration of another facsimile of Picasso's works on paper affixed. Title is from enclosed booklet cover which contains forty-five numbered detailed studies of each piece of art along with the story of the Genesis of Guernica with artistic analysis. Booklet contains many smaller reproductive images of Picasso's works as well. Booklet is 20 pp. Artwork included is mounted as two-pieces per mount and as one piece per mount. Mounts with art measure 23.75" tall x almost 15.75" wide respectively as does the accompanying booklet. Large clamshell case measures 24.75" tall x 16.25" wide x 3" thick. <br><br>CONDITION: All mounted plates are fine. Facsimile art is vivid and striking. Laid in text booklet and clamshell case are VG. Booklet shows moderate wrinkling and some leaves have split along the side of the spine fold at the foot about a third of the way up yet does not badly compromise the booklet's integrity. Case shows indentation along the front spine indicating a heavy book had once been placed on top. Light fading and some soiling on case with a 1/2 inch chip at the head of the back of the clamshell box. Even so this collection is stunning and the art pieces are magnificent. At over 18 lbs. due to this item's size and weight an additional shipping charge will apply and will be delivered with signature required. Full refund if not satisfied. <br><br>EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOKLET: "Few names are as evocative as that of Guernica. The ruthless bombardment of this small Basque town a regional capital and ancient pilgrimage site became one of the blackest and bloodiest spots in the history of the twentieth century. Today it no longer represents only the massacre of a civilian population and a point of no return in the rise of Fascism: Picasso's painting gave to the name of Guernica the scope of a universal symbol that expresses the barbarism of modern warfare. After its militant exhibitions in 1937 Paris and 1939 New York its long exile and its final arrival in Madrid this 'living legend' is displayed behind bulletproof glass in the Cason del Buen Retiro of the Prado Museum. .<br><br>Picasso executed forty-five sketches between May 1 and June 4 1937 some of which stand on their own as complete drawings. They included six compositional studies four studies of the horse one of the bull one of the horse and bull alone ten of heads of the horse and bull ten studies of female heads six of the woman with a dead child one of the horse and the woman with the child three heads of dead warriors a study of a man with raised arms and two studies of hands. He used a variety of mediums: pencil india ink gouache and oils; and supports: white blue and brown paper plywood and canvas.<br><br>These studies are not only extraordinary drawings in their own right but they also show the different states of mind through with Picasso passed as he was working on the painting. They are like a seismograph of his thoughts and feelings and so they permit us to understand what he really wanted to paint in Guernica. <br><br>A study of these sketches reveals the progress of the artist at work - his hesitations his searching the choices he made. They show the slow formation of the images the maturation of the initial idea the successive contributions the departures; in short Picasso's way of working and as such they constitute the laboratory of Guernica.

Ambrotype: African-American Woman possibly a Domestic Worker
No place - Maryland 1856. Hardcover. Fine. Sixth plate ambrotype portrait. Matted with preserver in original embossed leather case with purple-ish cut velvet pad. Image size approximately 3" x 3½". A couple of faint spots in the background else the image is crisp and fine the case is a bit rubbed but sound very good or better. Image of a seated African-American woman possibly in early middle-age with a white cap and holding a white handkerchief. Subtle and tasteful pink tinting on her cheeks and a ring on one finger has been tinted gold. While the cap suggests that the subject may have been a domestic the tinted gold ring might suggest otherwise. Otherwise unidentified the mat and preserver suggest a date around 1856 provenance suggests that the image was likely taken in Maryland which at the time had a large population of both free and enslaved African-Americans. A superb image. hardcover
