American Volunteer Soldiers in Camp and Campaign During the Spanish American War circa 1898 to 1900

1898ref. 239381898. Spanish American War soldier photo archive depicting American servicemen in uniform campaign clothing armed field equipment and camp settings circa 1898 to 1900 recording the appearance and conditions of service during the rapid wartime expansion of the United States Army. The men appear at different points between enlistment and active service: formally uniformed for studio portraits dressed in campaign hats and leggings armed with a rifle and cartridge belt and seated amid the temporary furnishings of military encampment. In 1898 the United States mobilized a large volunteer force alongside its Regular Army funneling state volunteer regiments through camps before deployment to Cuba Puerto Rico and the Philippines; the Army's Cuba expedition alone embarked approximately 17000 men from the congested staging area around Tampa. Army Historical Program These photographs preserve the individual scale of that mobilization showing soldiers not as distant formations or published battle scenes but as men equipped clothed and housed for wartime service. Photo archive of 9 silver gelatin photographs including one tintype Various sizes ranging from approximately 3.25 x 2.5 to 6.25 x 9 inches circa 1898 to 1900. Several are full length portraits of soldiers wearing the broad brimmed campaign hat dark pullover shirt trousers tucked or fastened into leggings and waist belts associated with field service. One soldier stands before a thatched structure holding a long rifle across his body with a loaded cartridge belt around his waist; another sits outside a tent in campaign clothing his boots and leggings visible. A camp photograph shows a uniformed soldier seated among folding chairs with other servicemen behind him recording the improvised domestic environment in which mobilized troops spent much of their service. The tintype portrays a seated soldier in campaign clothing and hat. Other photographs show men in more formal military dress including a large Brenner Studios Chicago portrait of a soldier standing in a dark buttoned uniform with chevrons visible on his sleeve and another full length portrait of a serviceman in a dark dress coat with contrasting piping and cords. Handwritten versos preserve partial evidence of identity and unit affiliation. One appears to identify a soldier with "Co. K 2nd . Vol. Reg."; another is inscribed to "Mrs. Alice . at Bat Cave N.C."; and another carries a presentation inscription from "Ed. A. Schlesinger." The photographs belong to a military mobilization whose daily realities were often defined less by battlefield action than by mustering training waiting for transportation camp routine illness and preparation for service overseas. Volunteer regiments arrived at large temporary encampments in 1898 with uneven levels of training and equipment while the Army struggled to absorb and transport the sudden influx of personnel. At the Presidio of San Francisco for example volunteers from across the country trained before embarkation for the Philippines and approximately 80000 men passed through the post between the beginning of the Spanish American War and 1900; temporary camps became crowded and sickness repeatedly spread among the troops. The conflict with Spain ended in 1898 but American soldiers remained abroad as occupation duties in former Spanish possessions developed into a prolonged war against the Philippine Republic extending the experience of mobilization and overseas service well beyond the original campaign. The shifts visible here between dress uniforms field clothing weapons tents and camp surroundings record the practical transition from civilian volunteer to wartime soldier at the level of individual servicemen. Some toning fading staining surface wear and edge and corner wear to mounts; several mounts with creasing or small losses with handwritten inscriptions remaining partially legible. Overall in very good condition. A personal photographic record of the uniforms equipment encampment and individual experience of American military service during the mobilization of 1898 and its overseas aftermath. unknown

Europa Libera:

1703ref. 139168London: Printed and sold by John Nutt 1703. Planting colonies in the Spanish Americas First edition preceding the second edition of that year with an added postscript. Published in the third year of the War of the Spanish Succession 1701-1714 the anonymous author proposes that in return for the support of Britain and the Netherlands for the claim of the Emperor of Austria to the Spanish crown Spain's territories in America should be ceded to the two mercantile powers. They propose a confederation which will share the treasure from the Spanish mines keeping it out of the hands of a single monarch and in so doing preserve the balance of power in Europe. They moreover support extending the war to the Spanish West-Indies at that stage untouched by the conflict and offer proposals to plant colonies there. They respond to critics who would argue that such attempts at joint control of the American mines and territories would engender war between Britain and the Netherlands as trade brings peace and also reject the arguments that American wealth flowing into the mercantile nations would weaken the nation as was believed to be the case in Spain. The polemic nonetheless offers a stark realpolitik view of world politics and of the war treating as irrelevant the moral questions of stripping the territories of their nominal ally Habsburg Spain rather than the official war aims of taking French territories and stemming the growth of Bourbon power.

Spanish-American War & American Imperialism: Admiral Dewey Military Victory Parade and U.S. Colonial Expansion into the Philippines 1899

1899ref. 237631899. American Imperialism and the Colonization of the Philippines: Admiral Dewey Spanish-American War Military Victory Celebration Parade and New Rochelle Life Photo Album 1899-1900. An important photographic record of the public celebration of American imperial expansion following the Spanish-American War highlighted by approximately 38 photographs of the September 30 1899 New York parade honoring Admiral George Dewey and the American victory at Manila Bay. The celebration occurred as the United States was imposing colonial rule over the Philippines and fighting Filipino forces seeking independence giving the photographs particular significance as a visual record of American overseas conquest presented at home through patriotic pageantry military power and mass public celebration. Photo album of approximately 153 photographs including approximately 117 silver gelatin prints and 36 albumen photographs most 3.5 x 2.5 inches New York principally 1899 and 1900. The photographs are held in gray window mounts in a string-bound album and can be removed as they are not adhered to the leaves; handwritten captions and dates occur throughout. Approximately 38 photographs document the military parade celebration showing ranks of West Point cadets mounted cavalry identified as "Troop A" and "Troop C" artillery and horse-drawn equipment military bands American flags and enormous crowds lining the parade route. The official procession included 350 West Point cadets sailors and Marines from Dewey's fleet regular Army troops New York National Guard regiments Spanish-American War veterans and Governor Theodore Roosevelt and his staff. One view is captioned "Only woman in parade" while another photograph depicts the first American flag "hoisted over Morro Castle at Santiago." Dewey's May 1 1898 destruction of the Spanish fleet at Manila Bay helped open the Philippines to American occupation and transformed him into a national symbol of the country's new overseas power. Spain subsequently ceded the Philippines to the United States while Filipinos who had fought for independence resisted American rule resulting in the Philippine-American War beginning in 1899. The New York celebration therefore documented more than Dewey's military homecoming: its flags troops artillery bands political leaders and immense crowds embodied the popular celebration of America's emergence as an imperial power at the very moment it was establishing colonial control over the Philippines. The remainder of the album documents New Rochelle and Long Island Sound life including boating hunting fishing families dogs horses carriages substantial houses residential construction and waterfront recreation. Identified subjects include the launch of "Kathleen" Horseshoe Harbor Glen Island the Columbia Library and the Atlantic City Boardwalk. Bound album with severely worn spine; photographs generally clean and in very good condition with occasional corner wear creasing and small tears. Overall in good condition. unknown

PERALTA, Pedro deMareMagnum

Passion y triumpho de Christo. Dividida en diez oraciones

1738In -4°, pp. (108), 216, 196-199, (8), 229-326, capilettera, testatine e finali; pergamena coeva con lacci e titolo manoscritto al dorso. Qualche foro di tarlo che non incide sul testo. Vari errori di segnatura e numerazione delle pagine. Prima edizione di quest’opera del maggiore poligrafo e scienziato del Perù in epoca colonialista. Il libro si distingue per una vasta incoerenza delle segnature, per l’uso esteso dei capilettera di tipo “factotum”, caratteristiche entrambe dell’editore, Antonio José Gutierrez de Cevallos che possedeva la tipografia “extra muros de Santa Cathalina e fu attivo in città fino al 1750. Pedro Peralta Barnuevo (1663-1743) era rettore della Università di San Marcos e con evidenza scrisse questi dieci sermoni sulla Passione di Cristo per presentarli a una platea universitaria: si distinguono infatti per il ritmo narrativo del testo. Il lavoro è preceduto da un saggio di genealogia sulla famiglia Moscoso, una delle più influenti famiglie del Nuovo mondo, ed è ricco di informazioni storiche e politiche circa questa e altre importanti famiglie messicane, peruviane e spagnole. Vari errori di numerazione e segnatura ma libro completo. The first edition of this work by the major writer and scientist of Peru, at time. The book is interesting under a typographic point of view, because of the extended use of “factotum” initials and a wide incoherence in signatures, both typical of its publisher, Antonio José Gutierrez de Cevallos. The author was dean of San Marcos university and he wrote these ten speeches about Christ passion towards an academic audience. The work is introduced by a genealogic essay about Moscoso family, one of the most important in the New World, rich of historic and politic information about Peru and spanish colonies. Many page number and signature mistakes, but the book is complete.
