1828ref. 2401Gibraltar 1828. Good. 3pp. on a bifolium. Previously folded with separations. Tanned somewhat brittle. An interesting example of official communications concerning trade between colonial Cuba and the Spanish mainland. In this manuscript letter date March 14 1828 the new Spanish Vice Consul in Gibraltar writes to the Governor General of Cuba concerning several topics. These include the regulation of shipping to Cuba and by implication the rest of the Caribbean through Gibraltar particularly of French ships leaving Mediterranean ports. Also discussed is keeping track of individuals particularly merchants going to Cuba by means of identification papers and other documents. The consul also reminds the colonial government of the importance of documenting duties and tariffs paid for shipping cargo and goods. unknown books
1796ref. 5074Mexico City: May 13 1796. About very good. Broadside 17 x 12.25 inches. Old fold lines. Slight separation and loss at center fold slightly affecting a few letters. Minor wear else. Proclamation made by the Viceroy of New Spain authorizing trade between Cuba and the United States. The Caribbean was in tumult in the 1790s with Toussaint L'Ouverture overthrowing the French colonial government and outlawing slavery. Likewise in Cuba there was a similar revolt against slavery demanding abolition and equality -- both revolutions were of substantial concern to slaveholders in the American South. Specifically the present decree mentions flour and other vital foodstuffs as a measure against shortages in Cuba intended to prevent further trouble. "Para precaver la escasez de viveres y con especialidad de harinas que verosimilmente causaria la guerra concedio El Rey Permiso por Real Orden de 25 Junio de 93. para que los Anglo-Americanos.pudiesen conducirlos a la Havana pagando los derechos los puertos habilitados de España." The Viceroy at the time was Don Miguel de la Grua Talamanca de Carini y Branciforte First Marques de Branciforte. The Marques was notoriously corrupt even for colonial Spain having gained position through marriage to the Prime Minister's sister. He made sure to make some profit on everything that passed through his hands including taking advantage of the war in Cuba to remove the French from their lands and sell them to his benefit. A rare and interesting decree. We locate a single copy in OCLC at the University of Minnesota. May 13 unknown books

ref. 21544Very Good- Plus. A remarkably scarce survivor from the 'Florida Land Boom' of the 1920s. Printed by the prestigious Record Company in St. Augustine this promotional piece was designed with a dual-purpose strategy: while the front panels lure the tourist with the world-famous beach and surf the inner panels pivot sharply toward permanent settlement homeownership and commercial investment. Unlike later post-war brochures that focused almost exclusively on family vacations this "Land Boom" artifact treats Daytona as a viable year-round "Metropolis of the Florida East Coast" making it a vital primary source for Florida urban development history. KEY FEATURES: Description: St. Augustine FL: Record Company Printers n.d. circa 1925-1928. First Edition. Folding Brochure. Octavo-sized 8-panel brochure 16 total sections; 3 x 6 inches folded opening to a panoramic 6 x 24.5 inches. Color illustrated wraps. The Print History: Published by The Record Company St. Augustine a firm celebrated in the 1920s for its high-quality county histories and regional promotional literature. The 'Hard Sell': Beyond tourism the text explicitly promotes Daytona for 'Business and Professional Men' citing agricultural opportunities retail growth and the city's status as a hub for 'Home-Builders.' Visuals: Features high-quality rotogravure-style monochrome and tinted photography showing the iconic driving beach early resort architecture and civic infrastructure. Scarcity: No single copies located in OCLC WorldCat or major institutional databases at the time of cataloging. A rare ephemeral survivor of the Florida pre-Depression boom. Specs: 16 distinct sections total front and back of 8 panels. CONDITION: Very Good. A superior copy of a fragile ephemeral item. Carefully handled with no tears splits or separations at the folds. Modest even age-toning to the paper stock as expected; color on the cover panels remains vibrant and crisp. Faint tide-mark on panel 2-3. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE The 1920s in Florida were a fever dream of development and Daytona was at the center of the storm. This brochure captures the moment before the 1926 hurricane and the 1929 crash a time when the 'Daytona Beach' brand was being solidified. It represents the transition of Florida from a frontier to a curated tropical paradise designed for the Northern middle class. The emphasis on home-buying rather than just hotel stays is the "smoking gun" of the Land Boom era. It reflects the efforts of the Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce to stabilize the local economy by attracting permanent capital rather than just seasonal visitors.

ref. 21545Very Good. A visually striking and architecturally significant promotional booklet designed to position DeLand as the intellectual and cultural capital of the Florida Land Boom.

Internally clean with staples firm and no rust migration. Specs: 8 x 9.25 inches / 28 pages plus wraps.St. Augustine: Record Co. n.d. c. 1925-1927. First Edition. Stapled Wraps. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- During the mid-1920s while coastal Florida cities sold surf and sand DeLand marketed itself as a refined inland 'Athens'. This prospectus is a prime example of the high-budget promotional material produced by the Record Company which utilized avant-garde graphic design to distinguish DeLand from the more rowdy 'boom towns' of the era. The booklet captures the city during its golden age of citrus and academic expansion at John B. Stetson University. Its dual-cover design-one side focusing on the sporting life fishing and the other on civic/educational status-reflects the sophisticated marketing tactics used to attract the 'educated' class of Northern investors and settlers.

First and only edition, [2], 30pp., stitched as issued in blue paper wrappers, a very good copy. The author argues against putting an additional duty on sugar "which... would be a great hardship on the sugar-planter in the West Indies, and very little benefit to the revenue...". He sets out all the costs involved in producing sugar, such as the price of slaves and the cost of keeping them, the higher freight costs, insurance, cost of animals and contributions to the defence force. Finally, he states the advantages of the sugar trade for Britain and shows how an additional duty would be to the detriment of the trade.
