1918réf. 205021918. Buffalo Soldier regiments depicted in stereoview photographs from the World War I era document African American cavalrymen and infantry units serving in segregated formations of the United States Army during the early twentieth century. These images record soldiers from several historically significant Black military units including the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 10th Cavalry and the 369th Infantry Regiment. African American soldiers served in large numbers during World War I despite segregation in the armed forces and the war marked a turning point in public recognition of Black military service. The photographs capture cavalry movement machine gun training and celebratory returns from the European front preserving visual evidence of the military presence and public visibility of Buffalo Soldiers during the conflict. Archive consists of seven stereoview photographs published by the Keystone View Company during the World War I period. The views depict soldiers from the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 8th Regiment of Colored Troops the 10th Cavalry the Chicago Regiment of Colored Troops and the 15th Regiment of the 369th Infantry. Two stereoviews show Black machine gun companies operating Lewis guns one of the principal light machine guns used on the Western Front during the war. Another view shows Troop K of the 10th Cavalry moving on horseback at Camp Chickamauga in Georgia. Additional stereoviews depict African American soldiers returning from European service and marching in public celebrations including scenes of troops parading along major boulevards such as Fifth Avenue in New York. The Buffalo Soldier regiments had already established a long military record before the First World War. Units such as the 10th Cavalry formed part of the segregated Regular Army created after the Civil War and served in campaigns across the western United States during the Indian Wars later participating in the Spanish American War the Philippine American War and operations during the Mexican Revolution. World War I marked one of the final periods in which cavalry units remained visible in American military organization as mechanized armor and motorized vehicles soon replaced mounted troops. At the same time Black soldiers who returned from service were celebrated in wartime parades yet continued to face segregation and racial discrimination within American society. Stereoview cards remain well preserved with light age wear typical of early twentieth century photographic prints. Very good condition overall and a visually compelling record of Buffalo Soldiers during the World War I era. unknown

Un disegno originale dell'Autore in copertina (ogni volume reca un disegno diverso). Stampato in occasione del sessantesimo compleanno del poeta Stampato dall'Arte Grafica Bartolomé U. Chiesino S.A. di Buenos Aires. 8vo. pp. 14. . Ottimo (Fine). . Prima ed. di 29 es. numerati e firmati dall'A.. . Empujan, en fin, vientos de libertad marina a la poesía de Rafael Alberti llevándola a explorar todos los espacios de la historia, de la mitología o de la experiencia humana: ''Yo te miraba, oh Cádiz, bahía de los mitos / ... / Canas de antigüedad, tus estelares fábulas, / tus solares historias, / oh gaditano mar de los perdidos / Atlantes, vesperales jardines de la espuma, / islas desvanecidas del Ocaso!'' Los pobres pescadores que salen del Guadalete hacia el mar son los mismos que arribaban a Tarsis en busca de oro y plata y estaño. El mar resume la historia y el mar compendia el sueño. ¿Qué escenario mejor podría soñarse para el encuentro amoroso de Venus y Príapo que el escenario del mar de Cádiz? Uno de los más formidables poemas amorosos de la literatura universal, de ese Diálogo entre Venus y Príapo, acontece en esa bahía: "Amor! La noche se desvae. / Nos baña el mar. (Oh luz!. El mundo canta. / Cae la luna... El viento...)"

1937réf. SPANISHC002314Left Review London. 1937. First edition. Royal octavo. 24 pages. Wrappers. A publication arising from a letter signed by twelve European writers prominent in Europe including Aragon W.H. Auden Nancy Cunard Heinrich Mann Pablo Neruda Ramon Sender Tristan Tzara etc. The letter was addressed to the writers of England Scotland Ireland and Wales and asked whether they were for or against the government of Republican Spain. Somehow Ezra Pound got involved he was neutral in a combative kind of way: ''Spain is an emotional luxury to a gang of sap-headed dilettantes''. The majority of responses were in favour and these include messages from Samuel Beckett ''�Up the Republic!'' - almost the shortest contribution Kay Boyle Thomas Burke Cyril Connolly Aleister Crowley C. Day Lewis Liam O'Flaherty Ford Madox Ford David Gascoyne Victor Gollancz Laurence Housman Aldous Huxley C.L.R. James Arthur Koestler John Lehmann Rose Macaulay ''AGAINST FRANCO'' - the shortest contribution Hugh Macdiarmid Louis MacNeice John Middleton Murry Sylvia Pankhurst V.S. Pritchett Herbert Read Olaf Stapledon Sylvia Townsend Warner Clough Williams-Ellis etc etc. In the neutral camp were Vera Brittain Robert Byron T.S. Eliot H.G. Wells V. Sackville-West etc. Only five messages are in the ''Against'' section including ones from Edmund Blunden Arthur Machen and Evelyn Waugh. The following year a similar exercise was carried out in America where 418 writers gave their opinions. This pamphlet has also been the inspiration for questionnaires on the Vietnam War and even the Falklands War.Foxing mostly light on almost every page. Covers lightly stained. Spine starting to split.

1869In -folio, 2 voll., pp. (4), VIII, 1-224, (2), 223-244, 70 tavv. a colori; (4), XLIX, 464, tela con tassello e titolo al dorso. Sontuosa edizione completa di 70 litografie che riproducono, a colori, il cosiddetto “Codice Troano”, uno dei pochi manoscritti superstiti della lingua maya. Si tratta di uno dei primi cospicui tentativi di decodificare la scrittura della civiltà precolombiana: Brasseur (1814-1874) vi si dedicò per oltre cinque anni con passione, diligenza e competenza ma, purtroppo, partendo dallo sbagliato presupposto che i codici riproducessero un alfabeto fonetico, convinzione che derivava da un metodo cinquecentesco messo a punto da Diego de Landa, monaco spagnolo che sarebbe diventato vescovo dello Yucatàn. La tavola comparativa tra alfabeto latino e caratteri maya era inaffidabile. In base alla decrittazione di questo codice, fra l’altro, si ipotizzò la suggestiva descrizione del continente perduto di Mu, mitica terra collocata nel Pacifico. Il lavoro di Brasseur avrebbe avuto un corso scientifico molto limitato, e la sua teoria fu smentita entro la fine del secolo, ma una serie di miti costruiti sulle sue presunte scoperte, fra tutti proprio quello della terra di Mu, hanno avuto corso fino a oggi in ambito parascientifico e in numerose suggestioni letterarie. La pubblicazione fa parte di una serie di opere commissionate da Napoleone III (“Mission scientifique au Méxique”) intese allo studio del Sud America. A luxury edition, complete of 70 lythographies reproducing, in colors, the so said “Troano codex”, one of the few manuscripts survived to Maya civilization’s destruction. This is one of the first attempts to decipher their writing: Brasseur (1814-1874) studied the matter for five years but he was wrongly convinced that the codex was reproducing a phonetic alphabet. The myth of “Mu” land results from this erroneus interpretation. The publication is part of a collection of works about South America commissioned by Napoleon the III.

1637réf. ABC_50143Madrid: Juan Sanchez 1637. Disbound. Folio 21 x 29.2 cm. With a woodcut decorated initial. Interesting account in Spanish of two captures and defeats that the Lord Marquis of Floresdavila of His Majesty's Council of War and his Governor and Captain General in those parts had in different Berber villages on the borders of Oran.The "Marquis of Floresdavila" is Antonio Zúñiga y de la Cueva ca. 1590-1652 who was the second Marquis of Flores DAvila General of the Galleys of Naples and Sicily Governor of Oran and Mersw-el-Kébir and of the County od Rousillon and member of the War Council of King Philip IV. Antonio Zúñiga was accompanied during the execution of these very bloody battles by Father Juan Ponce de Léon a 17th-century Spanish presbyter who served as an official "qualifer" calificador of the Holy Office the Spanish Inquisition. The first battle was on 17 November 1636 and following days the other on 5 February 1637 both were bloody and many Muslims and enslaved people were killed. The result was the definitive subjugation of these regions around Oran to the throne of Spain which had not seen a Spaniard before.The pamphlet was printed by Juan Sánchez Frexeneda also known as Juan Sánchez de la Frexeneda a prominent 17th-century Spanish printer and typographer based in Madrid. He operated one of the active printing workshops in Madrid during the Spanish Golden Age active from roughly 1613 until his death in 1639. His press distributed current event broadsheets "Vendese en casa de Esperança Franciscea frontero del Colegio de Atocha" is printed on p. 1.With near- contemporary manuscript foliation in the upper outer corners of the leaves "148-151". Somewhat foxed the edges of the leaves are frayed. Juan Sanchez, unknown

Diaz's account is written in an unassuming colloquial style and has both historical and artistic value." A.S.W. Rosenstock 19 #193: "All the later histories of America have acknowledged their debt to Bernal Diaz and his work has been acclaimed one of the most valuable source books of the period." The author was an original member of Cortez’s expedition to conquer the Aztec nation. He was involved in the initial planning stages all the way to its culmination. One of the most important sources on the conquest of the Aztec Empire and Mexico.

1898réf. 231301898. Spanish-American War stereoview archive circa 1898-1899 documenting how the war was pictured through mass-produced photographic views that followed U.S. mobilization battlefield action occupation and military life across both Cuba and the Philippines. These stereoviews preserves the visual system by which the war was circulated to American audiences showcasing camp organization troop movement burial hospital care naval power and overseas deployment. Particularly notable is the archive's coverage of the Rough Riders the Santiago campaign in Cuba and U.S. presence in Manila and Malate showing how stereoview photography helped normalize the war's expansion from anti-Spanish conflict into a broader American imperial presence. Archive of 21 stereoviews Various publishers. Spanish-American War stereoview archive. Cuba the Philippines and the United States circa 1898-1899. each measuring 3" x 7". The views are drawn from multiple phases and theaters of the war including camp and drill scenes in the United States embarkation and troop arrivals at Tampa battlefield and occupation imagery from Cuba and extensive and some grisly scenes from Manila and surrounding areas in the Philippines. Captions and images show soldiers in formation cavalry drill military reviews naval artillery hospital interiors encampments burial grounds and troops in active position. Cuban views include Morro Castle after bombardment dead and wounded on the battlefield of Santiago U.S. soldiers preparing to invade Cuba and troops dining near Cabañas Fortress. Philippine views include a departure for Manila American pickets routing a Filipino reconnoitering party the 18th Infantry engaged by Filipino outposts volunteers awaiting orders under the tropical sun Army Hospital Manila and "Our Boys in Camp at Malate P.I." One stereoview identifies Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the mobilization phase linking the archive to one of the war's most publicly mythologized units. As a group the stereoviews demonstrate the process by which the Spanish-American War was framed not simply as a short military victory over Spain but as a sustained structure of U.S. troop deployment and occupation extending from Cuba into the Philippines. The Manila and Malate scenes are especially important in this regard since they place American soldiers within the opening phase of the Philippine conflict where U.S. military presence quickly moved beyond liberation rhetoric into imperial control. The archive's mixture of battlefield casualties camp routine naval spectacle and celebratory review scenes shows how stereoscopic publishing converted war into a domestic viewing experience while reinforcing the legitimacy of American expansion abroad. Wear to mounts some toning; overall very good condition. A strong cross-theater visual archive of the Spanish-American War and the emergence of U.S. imperial power in Cuba and the Philippines. unknown

Beginning in 1918 immediately following the Russian Revolution International Press Correspondence usually called by its acronym INPRECOR became the Communist International's principal international organ for distributing "official" news of the global spread of Marxist ideology. The paper was issued in four languages English French Spanish and German and at its height no fewer than one and as many as three issues per week appeared. The chief audience was the editorial staffs of COMINTERN-aligned newspapers where many of INPRECOR's articles would be republished verbatim. Thus INPRECOR served as a de facto press service for the left-wing media in Europe North and Latin America. In our experience cohesive runs of INPRECOR in any size are unusual; this collection represents a veritable treasure-trove of official COMINTERN policy during the Popular Front period especially valuable for its day-by-day coverage and interpretation of events in Spain before during and after the Civil War and for documenting the rise of fascism across the European continent. Our run ends in August 1939 on the eve of Germany's invasion of Poland and the outbreak of the Second World War. Between that date and 1934 despite occasional lacunae the issues offered here provide a clear and compelling narrative of the sweep of world events leading to the World War and an intimate view of the communist left's response to those events. Even individual issues are somewhat scarce in commerce. Earlier issues of INPRECOR have been digitized by the Marxist Internet Archive ending in 1934. Much of the run is available in microfiche produced by the Communist Party of Great Britain but the imaging is of legendarily poor quality basically illegible in many places. Holdings for physical issues are spotty per WorldCat with many institutions holding small samples or partial runs. H.R.G. Jefferson [et al] unknown
