1639réf. ABC_50152Madrid 1639. Folio c. 29 x 20.1 cm. Diego Diaz Unbound housed in a plastic folder. 2 ll. Rare 17th-century Spanish pamphlet documenting the maritime activities of the Royal Armada of Dunkirk and privateers along the coasts of France England and other territories from 1 May to 31 December 1638. This detailed account lists 118 captured vessels including warships frigates and small craft many laden with highly valuable cargoes such as silk spices wine sugar salt precious metals and pearls.Printed in Madrid it served both as a record of naval prizes and a public announcement of military success during the turbulent years of the Eighty Years War 1568-1648 and concurrent Franco-Spanish conflicts. Dunkirk then a major Spanish port in the Low Countries was a base for state-authorised privateers corsarios whose daring raids on enemy shipping are vividly detailed here including the disposition of artillery captured crews and the fate of vessels either incorporated into the Spanish fleet or destroyed.The present work emphasizes the skill and bravery of the Dunkirkers noting that despite repeated attempts by Dutch fleets to block them only one Spanish warship was lost over thirty months of operations while over 800 enemy ships were captured. It is an exceptional example of early modern naval reporting illustrating not only the logistics and spoils of naval warfare but also the political and economic role of privateering in Spanish maritime strategy.The leaves are slightly browned and foxed the gutter of the second leaf has been reinforced with a manuscript page number "124" and "125" at the recto of the first leaf and the verso of the last leaf.

Ramón Sopena 1867-1932 was a Spanish editor who founded the publishing house that bears his name in 1894 in Barcelona. He was a multifaceted editor that published essentially dictionaries and encyclopedias but also journals. For some time he also edited erotic works and then opted for popular literature. In the children's genre he published small works in series such as the ones we offer here: the CHILDREN COLLECTION or the LIBRARY FOR CHILDREN. The printing house had a long life since it closed only in 2004. The purpose of the CHILDREN'S COLLECTION "Episodios historicos" "Historical episodes" was to make relevant topics of Spain's history available to children. "Vida de hombres celebres" "Life of famous men" are brief biographies of characters from Spanish and universal history. Finally the two series of "Cuentos" "Tales" are small stories without specifying their authors. # WorldCat: no copies of this series in US Libraries.

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

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...)"
