It is concluded with a formal text dated 18 December 1772 and signed by João Baptista de Araújo a senior officer of the Secretariat of State.In 1761 Marquez de Pombal prohibited the importation of enslaved people in Portugal and Portuguese India not for humanitarian reasons but because they were needed for labour in Brazil. He stimulated the trade of mostly African enslaved people for that colony and with his support two companies for slave trade were founded the Companhia Geral de Comércio do Grão-Pará e Maranhão and the Companhia Geral de Comércio de Pernambuco e Paraíba. Both companies were privileged and had a monopolistic character. Their lists of shareholders included many Portuguese noblemen and clergy. Between 1757 and 1777 more than 25000 enslaved people were imported to Pará and Maranhão from West African ports.The two issues can be identified by their catchwords on p. 1: issue one shows the catchword as a vol- that catchword was changed in the second issue to a.The inner margin shows some signs of the previous binding.

1816réf. 39129London: Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed March 18 1816. Trade Restored After the War of 1812 Official Parliamentary draft printing of a commercial agreement between the United Kingdom and the United States passed just over a year after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent. The convention of commerce establishes that the same import and export duties be applied to goods carried by American and British ships in direct British-American commerce. Duties on and bounties for prize ships and goods are also put on the same terms. This version of the bill would have been printed while the question was being considered by Parliament.

1792réf. 31794Philadelphia: s.i. 1792. Very Good. Philadelphia: 1792-93. Single folded sheet 41.5 x 33.5cm; report in manuscript verso filled nearly to completion recto a quarter filled. Signed by Captain David Ross and two other parties; docket dated 1793 signed by Inspector Jeremiah Simmons. Stock exceedingly brittle with shallow chipping long closed tears along folds with old archival mending age-toning and light soiling as well as contemporary wax seal remnants. Overall a Very Good and legible survival. Cargo report executed in manuscript and dated November 9th 1792 listing materials shipped from Port-de-Paix Saint-Domingue modern day Haiti to Philadelphia for the firm Dutilh & Wachsmuth. The date places this report in the early days of the Haitian Revolution following the August 1791 enslaved peoples' revolt. The island was a vital source of commercial interests to Philadelphia and the burgeoning revolution was at the forefront of everyone's mind making this voyage and the survival of associated documents all the more significant. Dun cites one contemporary account "'No business is going on here' one letter told 'as every one is taken up with meetings committees and arming themselves.'" Dun p. 484. Goods delivered include wine sugar and coffee and were delivered to Dutilh and a handful of others including Captain Ross himself who received a hogshead of molasses. Ross eventually rose to the rank of Continental Navy Lieutenant during the Quasi-War with France and is remembered for commanding the privateer Belvedere guiding her back to Dover after an engagement with a French brig "leaving Belvedere with 50 round shot in her hull and her sails and rigging further shredded."

1880réf. 237851880. Ceylon colonial photo archive depicting tea cultivation estate labor transportation and urban life circa 1880s to 1910s documenting the plantation economy that made the island one of Britain's principal sources of tea as British merchants shifted the enormous domestic tea market away from China and toward production within the Empire. Coffee leaf rust appeared in Ceylon in 1869 and spread rapidly through the island's coffee districts precipitating the collapse of the crop that had dominated the colonial export economy and accelerating planters' conversion of the central highlands to tea. James Taylor had established commercial tea cultivation at Loolecondera Estate near Kandy in 1867 and the new industry expanded rapidly as coffee failed; by 1900 some 380000 acres in Ceylon were planted in tea. By 1879 the results showed that in more than 70 percent of tea sold in London still came from China while by 1900 China supplied only about 10 percent and black teas from British controlled India and Ceylon constituted the bulk of the market. Photo archive of albumen and silver gelatin photographs and photographic postcards ranging from approximately 3½ x 5 to 4 x 6 inches Ceylon circa 1880s to 1910s. Tea production forms the strongest body of imagery. Women and men stand among densely planted tea bushes or work through rows of plants with women carrying the large woven baskets used to collect leaves; individual and group views are captioned "Tea plucker" "Tea picking Ceylon" "Pruning tea Kandy" and in French "Cueillette du thé à Ceylan." One Skeen & Co. Colombo card numbered 84 and captioned "Tea plucker" isolates a woman at work with a large basket strapped behind her while another shows a large group of workers seated with baskets and gathered tea in a plantation clearing. A card captioned "Estate coolies Ceylon" depicts an estate employee in European dress standing with women and a child outside a thatched dwelling preserving in its printed terminology the racial and labor classifications through which plantation workers were presented to contemporary consumers of colonial imagery. Other photographs move from plantation production into the roads vehicles and cities of colonial Ceylon: rickshaw pullers pose with European passengers and beside their vehicles; a street scene records "Native town Kandy Ceylon"; Colombo appears in views of the "Colpetty Road near Galle Face Colombo" a crowded procession captioned in French "Colombo départ des troupes Anglaises" and a civic monument among palms. Another postcard depicts "Royal visitors leaving Ceylon" while a country road scene shows pedestrians carts and roadside activity. Skeen & Co. one of the principal commercial photographic firms operating from Colombo in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is identified on several cards but no single photographer can be assigned to the archive as a whole. The tea scenes record the labor at the center of one of the fastest agricultural conversions in the nineteenth century British Empire. Coffee rust Hemileia vastatrix was first observed in Ceylon in 1869 and within little more than a decade had destroyed the commercial basis of the coffee plantation system; tea already demonstrated commercially by Taylor replaced it across much of the highlands. Ceylon tea exports to Britain rose from only 282 pounds in 1875 to more than 4.3 million pounds in 1885 while the plantation landscape expanded until almost all former coffee districts had been replanted with tea during the 1890s. That expansion depended on a large year round plantation workforce much of it composed of Tamil laborers brought from southern India and on the colonial infrastructure that connected the highlands with Colombo and overseas markets. Roads and the railway between Kandy and Colombo had initially served the coffee economy and could be redirected toward tea after the blight while Colombo developed as the commercial and shipping center through which the crop entered imperial markets. The archive therefore records several stages and social spaces of the same colonial economy from plucking and pruning in the highlands to estate communities road transport Kandy and the metropolitan port city of Colombo while the postcards themselves show how plantation labor and colonial development were converted into commercial images for circulation beyond the island. Light to moderate surface wear toning occasional fading and creasing with some photographs showing age related discoloration and edge wear. Overall in good condition. A visual record of the plantation labor and colonial infrastructure behind Ceylon's transformation from a failed coffee economy into a major tea producer that helped Britain replace Chinese tea with supplies produced under imperial control. unknown

1778réf. 39128London. 1778. The rare Parliamentary printing of a bill relating to American trade under consideration by the House of Commons. In 1660 during the reign of Charles II Parliament passed a bill "for the encouraging and encreasing of Shipping and Navigation" which granted bonding for ships and vessels transporting goods from British plantations in Africa Asia and America directly to another British plantation or to a port in England Ireland or Wales.

1801réf. 44263Dieppe France. July 1801. Rebuilding Trade After the Quasi War An interesting and rare artifact of the attempt to rebuild French-American trading relations in the wake of the so-called "Quasi-War" between the two nations. The Quasi-War was an undeclared conflict between the United States and France during John Adams' administration in the late 1790s manifested mostly in naval engagements between the two nations. The war wreaked havoc on American commerce with France which only began to be rebuilt with the Convention of 1800. The present printed circular was created by "Le Baron fils" the former American consular agent in Dieppe and was apparently sent to a variety of American merchants encouraging them to once again send shipments of American goods to that French port. Not much is known of Le Baron fils though he did correspond with Benjamin Franklin and he served as the American consular agent at Dieppe for several years. This copy of Le Baron fils' circular was sent to prominent New York merchant and politician Nicholas Low and is dated in manuscript July "24." It is addressed to Low in manuscript on the fourth page and his name is also written in the upper left corner of the circular. In the printed text Le Baron fils states: "you may see by the inclosed Price Current of our Colonial & American goods not present here that our prices are more advantageous than in Bordeaux as we are more in the center of the Republick nearer to Paris Rouen Amiens and all the Chiefest manufacturing towns of France." Low is encouraged to "consign me some goods the sale of which shall be attended to with the greatest care and the proceeds of which will be sent to you either in goods from this country or in Bills on Paris London or Hamburgh at your choice." The printed text concludes by giving the names of the American consuls at Paris and Hamburg as well as two English trading houses as references to Le Baron fils' character. Le Baron fils adds in manuscript: "Mr. J. Clason & Mr. C. Codwise of yr place can give you an account upon my house in case you want quick information." Old folds some edge wear small tears at edges of fold fourth page torn from wax seal. Very good overall. unknown
1910réf. 6626New Orleans; New York: The Board of Trade; Printed by H. R. Elliot & Co. Printers and Embossers 1910. Stapled booklet 10.25 x 15.25 cm. 14 unnumbered leaves; printed text decorated with red borders on rectos only. Cover title: Recipes for Cooking Rice. Author information inferred from external evidence. Printer from rear panel of wrappers. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. A promotional publication designed “to create a greater interest” in a foodstuff that had yet to become a staple in many parts of the United States. With a dozen recipes including Gumbo Soup Jambalaya Belle Calas fritters Rice Pudding Riz au Lait. ~ The phrase “Louisiana Rice Exhibit” can be found in reference to displays in the agricultural halls of world’s fairs – the World’s Columbian Exposition Chicago 1893 for instance as well as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition St. Louis 1904 – but in the event the phrase is better understood not as an installation but as a program. The New Orleans Board of Trade had indeed exploited opportunities to educate the public by such means cf A. C. Cantley “Rice Display by Louisiana at World's Fair of 1904” The Planter and Sugar Manufacturer 32 no. 7 February 13 1904 page 121 but it would have been highly unlikely for booklets such as How to Cook Rice to have been produced specifically for them without bearing any mark of the association. Moreover Louisiana Rice Exhibits so-named were also staged at parish fairs livestock shows even horse races. Their visual aspect was meant to entrance and amuse. “The New Orleans Board of Trade made a very splendid exhibit” a trade paper reported “at the National Farm and Livestock Show with a display of all the products it handles with the centerpiece a working model of a rice mill” “Current Rice News Notes” The Rice Journal and Southern Farmer 19 no. 12 December 1916 page 33. ~ Founded in 1880 the Board itself coordinated among many other activities rice shipments from mills in Louisiana and to a smaller extent from eastern Texas and Arkansas too. In this case their printing contract with H. R. Elliot & Co. places the publication later than the Chicago Exposition as this form of name was not in use until after 1900 “The Manufacturing Stationer” Walden’s Stationer and Printer 31 Spring 1909 page 16. The date of issue proposed here rests on reports that the Board of Trade distributed booklets in or perhaps slightly before 1910 a note for example from the American Poultry World recorded that recipes from the Louisiana Rice Exhibit of New Orleans had been received 1 no. 5 March 1910 pages 354-355. ~ Interior clean and bright. Stapled in ivory wrappers with gilt illustration of rice plants overseen by a pelican in honor of the Pelican State. Near fine.

It proceeds to describe Alameda County and the City of Oakland their climate resources modern ammenities notable businesses often with flowery and/or bombastic statements e.g. "One does not need to sniff the odor of the Chicago River or of its immense piggeries as a New Yorker contemptuously styled its huge pork-packing establishments to realize that he is in the Garden City."
