réf. 47618Various publishers & dates. Extensive photographic archive documenting events on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico Border during the Mexican Revolution focused primarily on the Border Wars in Texas and the Veracruz Incident of 1914 comprised entirely of contemporary images all but a few of which are original vintage prints. The collection includes: • Sixty-one commercially-produced real-photo postcards ca. 14cm x 9cm or the reverse; • Six commercially-printed postcards using non-photographic processes same dimensions; • Three carte-de-visite portraits ca 9cm x 6cm mounted to cards; • Eight small-format photographs ranging from 14cm x 8cm to 11cm x 16cm of which three appear to be commercial images; • Three 8x10 20cm x 25cm photographic prints printed at some later date from original plates but apparently not contemporary; • One vintage 4x6 10cm x 16cm photograph mounted on board. All but a dozen or so images are captioned in the negative and most are additionally captioned in pencil in a later hand on verso. Approximately half the images include no photo credit; of those that do we have identified the following photographers: W.H. Horne D.W. Hoffman Walter P. Hadsell Van Zile & Chalk and L.O. She. Condition is generally Very Good. Two of the photo postcards are damaged with abrasions to significant portions of image area; the remainder show various degrees of edge wear aging and creasing but by and large image quality remains excellent. None of the postcards are postally used though a few include brief contemporary notes on verso. The refusal of Mexican President Porfirio Dîaz to cede power to his rival Francisco Madero in the elections of 1910 resulted in a violent large-scale revolt by campesinos and leftists setting off the thirty-year long Mexican Revolution. American involvement in the conflict began in 1911 when President William H. Taft under the guise of heightening border security moved to back Díaz against the rebels. The resulting mobilization - Taft sent more than 20000 American troops nearly a quarter of all American forces to the Mexican border with especially heavy concentrations in Texas and New Mexico - was to that date the largest mobilization of American military forces in peacetime. At the same time many Americans whose sympathies were not aligned with the Díaz dictatorship including anarchists wobblies Native Americans and more than a few soldiers of fortune went south to fight on the side of the rebels. The resulting border conflict which took place over nearly a decade occasionally pitting American insurrectos against American Federal troops resulted in thousands of Mexican and hundreds of American deaths. The Border Wars reached their climax around the period 1912-1914 which happened to coincide with a near-hysterical vogue for postcards among the American public. The result is that the Mexican Revolution is perhaps the first major armed conflict to have been extensively photo-documented in real time and certainly the first to have had a significant mass audience for that documentation. At least three hundred commercial photographers have been identified in association with the Mexican Revolution and they produced tens of thousands of images ranging from the relatively innocuous e.g. peaceful street and harbor scenes in Veracruz to the horrific lynchings and sidewalk cremations. This entire range of content is represented in the current collection along with portraits of most of the key players on the Mexican side including El Presidente Porfirio Díaz; his primary rival and successor Francisco Madero; Madero's successor by coup Victoriano Huerta; and various military figures including General Juan Navarro Felipe Angeles Ramírez and numerous others. Many of these semi-professional images though produced with commercial intent "professional" remains a guarded term in the context of what was essentially battlefield exploitation photography are valuable for their almost off-hand depictions of violent day-to-day life on the contested border including the casual destruction and acceptance of death from both sides that seemed to define this conflict. Of particular note are numerous of photographs of African-American troops the so-called "Buffalo Soldiers" as well as at least one image depicting Native American soldiers in uniform. Locales represented include Camp Grossmont in California; El Paso and Laredo in Texas and their cross-border sister cities Juarez and Nuevo Laredo; Veracruz site of the American incursion of 1914 known as the "Veracruz Incident"; and various unidentified encampments and battle sites in both Texas and Mexico. A wide-ranging and compelling photographic collection documenting not only a key period in U.S. military diplomacy - one which for better or worse set the tone for American-Mexican relations for the succeeding century - but also a tangible manifestation of the first widespread public incarnation in America of the picture-postcard as a vehicle for both propaganda and photojournalism. unknown books

The armorial bookplate of Prince Henry Duke of Gloucester on the front pastedown of each volume. A magnificent set. An exceptionally rare complete set of the four original volumes of caricatures published by Mary and Matthew Darly between 1771 and 1773 comprising ninety-six brilliantly hand-colored etchings that constitute one of the most important early collections of English social and fashion satire. The present collection represents a landmark in the development of British caricature. Published at the height of the extraordinary macaroni craze of the 1770s these spirited and frequently outrageous portraits ridicule the fashions affectations pretensions and eccentricities of Georgian society. Their subjects include extravagantly dressed young men fashionable ladies military officers clergymen lawyers tradesmen and a remarkable assortment of recognizable London characters. The figures are generally presented individually against deliberately minimal backgrounds their identities and personalities established through exaggerated physiognomy extravagant costume distinctive gestures and carefully selected accessories. This deceptively simple formula was ideally suited to the satirical portrayal of the fashionable world and helped establish a visual language that would be developed to extraordinary effect by the succeeding generation of British caricaturists. The term macaroni originally referred to a fashionable young Englishman who had returned from the Grand Tour with an excessive enthusiasm for Continental manners dress and sophistication. By the early 1770s however it had acquired a distinctly satirical meaning describing a man whose devotion to fashion and personal ornament had supposedly carried him beyond the bounds of conventional masculinity and good taste. Enormous powdered hairstyles miniature hats elaborately embroidered coats slender swords and affected postures became the identifying characteristics of the macaroni. The Darlys seized upon this phenomenon with remarkable commercial and artistic success. Their caricatures transformed the extravagances of contemporary dress into a form of popular entertainment appealing both to those who recognized the individuals portrayed and to a wider public delighted by the absurdities of fashionable society. Although many of the plates depict the familiar macaroni figure the scope of the collection extends considerably further. Among the numerous subjects represented are The City Tonsor The Turf-Macaroni The Oxford-Macaroni The Female Connoisseur The Macaroni Auctioneer The Macaroni Chimney Sweep and The Macaroni Preacher. Such images provide an extraordinary pictorial record of Georgian occupations social distinctions and public amusements filtered through the exuberant imagination of the eighteenth-century satirist. Particularly noteworthy is the prominent participation of women in the production of these prints. Mary Darly was not merely the wife of a successful print-seller but an artist engraver publisher and entrepreneur in her own right. Her work represents an important early contribution by a woman to the development of British graphic satire and the title of the first volume expressly acknowledges the participation of both ladies and gentlemen in the creation of its designs. Mary Darly fl. 1756-1779 sometimes described as the mother of English pictorial satire occupied a central position in the flourishing London print trade of the mid-eighteenth century. Working with her husband Matthew Darly fl. 1741-1778 a designer engraver and print-seller she helped establish caricature as a distinct and commercially successful branch of British printmaking. Matthew Darly had already acquired considerable prominence through his publications on ornament and decorative design including his association with Robert Manwaring's The Chair-Maker's Guide and George Edwards's A New Book of Chinese Designs. His involvement with satirical prints extended back at least to 1749 when he was questioned by the authorities concerning the distribution of caricatures directed against the Duke of Cumberland. By the 1760s Mary Darly had emerged as a publisher of satirical prints and the couple's establishment at 39 Strand became an important center for the production and sale of fashionable caricatures. The Darlys encouraged designs from both professional artists and talented amateurs including members of fashionable society itself an approach reflected in the deliberately inclusive wording of their engraved title-pages. Among artists associated with the Darly publications were Henry William Bunbury James Sayers Edward Topham Sir Edward Newenham Elizabeth Bridgetta Gulston and others. The contributions of aristocratic and amateur designers gave these caricatures a particularly intimate relationship with the fashionable society they mocked. The popularity of the Darly caricatures was such that the series was subsequently reissued including in 1776. Mary Darly's advertisements promoted the collection with characteristic confidence as "the most entertaining Work ever published in Europe." Despite their considerable contemporary popularity complete collections of these early Darly caricatures are now exceptionally scarce. The prints were intended to be enjoyed circulated and collected and individual examples have survived far more frequently than intact volumes. Their vulnerability to dispersal together with the frequent removal of particularly desirable images makes the survival of all ninety-six plates in their original four-volume sequence especially remarkable. The present set is further distinguished by its remarkably vivid contemporary hand-coloring the freshness of its impressions its handsome early twentieth-century Rivière binding and its distinguished royal provenance. Provenance: Prince Henry Duke of Gloucester 1900-1974 third son of King George V and Queen Mary and younger brother of Kings Edward VIII and George VI; his crowned armorial bookplate lettered "GLOUCESTER" on the front pastedown of each volume. Rarity: Exceptionally scarce particularly complete in all four volumes. Earlier bibliographical research located only three institutional examples of Volume I Yale University the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas and the University of Virginia and three of Volume II Los Angeles County Museum of Art Harvard University and Princeton University. These holdings should be reconfirmed against current institutional catalogues; they are not evidence of a complete census of surviving sets. [London] No. 39 Strand: M. Darly, 1771 unknown books
