1811ref. 10421Mexico City: Manuel Antonio Valdes 1811. Original Wrappers. Very Good binding. Small octavo. 4 52 pp. Lacking the plan as usual. Original plain wrappers. Front wrapper with a small closed tear to the bottom edge; one leaf with some loss to the bottom corner of the margin not touching text; faint and minor tideline to the top margin throughout most of the pamphlet; generally a very nice copy. Following Hidalgo's rebellion one of the events precipitating the Mexican War for Independence the viceroy established a new policing system in the capital; that policy is laid out in this work. The cataloguer at the Bancroft Library describes the organization of the work thus: "Alphabetical catalog of the names of streets plazas and other locations in Mexico City based on an earlier version from 1783 which was printed during the tenure of interim viceroy Martin de Mayorga following the division of the city into 8 major districts quarteles and 32 sub-districts. Descriptions by the author—'un amante de la patria'—of the location and boundaries of each of the major districts is followed by an alphabetical list of the names of streets alleys bridges plazas courtyards and inns each identified with corresponding number of district and sub-district in which it is located. The pamphlet concludes with a directory of the members of the Superintendencia de Policìa y Tranquilidad Puìblica a body created by Viceroy Francisco Xavier Venegas." As others have noted bibliographies call for an engraved plan almost never found with this publication. It is also lacking in the Bancroft and almost all other institutional copies.

1953ref. 10075Herman Manasse 1953. Quarter Leather. Very Good binding. Oblong folio. 3 61 ll. Photographic reproduction. All pages are photographic paper likely sliver gelatin prints stubbed and bound in cloth boards backed in morocco. Binding is 16" x 19." Cover titled in gilt with presentation name in gilt below: "Mr. and Mrs. T. Harry Gatton." The first leaf is a photographic reproduction of the endpaper of the original copy capturing an ownership note in French dated 1952. This note along with a printed inclusion also part of the photograph identifies the copy used for reproduction as belonging to G. M. ver Hulst having come to him from his uncle the Comte Francois de Montholon who died 23 December 1951. The printed inclusion notes that this reproduction was done "by Herman Manasse especially for Mr. & Mrs. T. Harry Gatton of Raleigh North Carolina." We use the endpaper inscription as the earliest possible date of reproduction. Based on the physical aspects of the book it was probably done not long after that time. Only light wear to the binding. The "contents" leaf has a small closed tear to the top margin; rippling to the photographs throughout. It appears that during the rephotographing process the border of each photograph was masked off except for each photograph's title. Count Montholon's copy was exceptionally clean making this a remarkably good reproduction a couple of the images capture some abrading to the original but generally these are very clean bright images of one of the great American photographic works. As official photographer of the Military Division of Mississippi Barnard photographed Sherman's march to the sea capturing the devastation left in the wake of the general's controversial scorched earth campaign. The images are indeed striking. A contemporary review calls this "a splendid volume containing 61 imperial photographs embracing scenes of the Occupation of Nashville the Great Battles around Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain the Campaign of Atlanta March to the Sea and the Great Raid through the Carolinas. These photographs are views of important places of noted battle-field of military works; and for the care and judgment in selecting the points of view for the delicacy of execution for scope of treatment and for fidelity of representation they surpass any other photographic views which have been produced in this country-whether relating to the war or otherwise." Harper's Weekly Dec. 8 1866. p. 771. And indeed it has held up as a monument of American photography. While the first edition does come to market periodically it realizes some extraordinary prices. We've been unable to determine how many copies of this full-sized reproduction were created. Though the inclusion on the first leaf specifically states that this copy was for Gatton a series of cards could have been substituted as the leaf was repeatedly photographed individualizing each copy. So while it is certainly possible that this is a one-off it is more likely that a very small number were reproduced and presented to friends family and notables. To that end Thomas Harry Gatton 1918-2001 was a notable North Carolinian. Beyond his professional endeavors he was a World War II veteran chairman of the North Carolina Historical Commission and was appointed to the American Battle Monuments Commission by presidents Kennedy Johnson and Carter. In short one to whom this presentation would have been warranted and meaningful. Howes B-150; Sabin 3462; De Renne p.1317 all for the first edition Taft Photography and the American Scene p. 232 486.
