réf. 7582Many illus. Unpaginated. 8vo stiff pictorial boards cloth spine. Mexico City: Alias 2013. First edition an uncommon book examining Carrión's De Diefstal van het Jaar "exhibition" at the Drents Museum in 1982. This show entailed Ulises Carrion 1941-89 displaying a large diamond in a small and dark room of the museum without any visible security or restrictions as a social experiment. In the last decade of his life Carrión's practice involved similar investigations of societal norms and the dissemination of information. The previous year the artist had delved into the spread of gossip and rumors through social networks in the performance piece Gossip Scandal and Good Manners in which he concocted rumors about himself to observe how they spread. Pairing new essays presented in Spanish & English by Martha Hellion and Paulo Silveira with Claudio Goulart's original photography documenting the exhibition this work reveals new details about Carrión's intentions and the execution of this daring show. This publication is part of Alias's Antítesis series no. 3. As new. The very rare flyer promoting De Diefstal van het Jaar is reproduced on the cover. unknown
1885réf. 895 - 323 - 604Salesman's Sample of the Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant Publisher and Year: New York: Charles L. Webster and Company 1885 Edition: Salesman's sample issued prior to the publication of Grant's memoirs. These samples known also as dummies or prospectuses were at the center of the door-to-door campaign that made Grant's memoirs one of the best-selling books of the late 19th century. Because the book was not complete salesmen were equipped with these prospectuses to showcase to prospective customers. These were truncated mock-ups of the finished work containing selected chapters steel engravings and mounted binding samples spine strips representing cloth sheep and half morocco. Bound into each prospectus were order forms on which salesmen could record each customer's name address and preferred binding cloth sheep half morocco full morocco tree calf. All of the binding options were costly; adjusted for inflation they ranged from approximately $234 to $835. Mark Twain the co-owner of the publishing house and orchestrator of the sales campaign deliberately recruited Civil War veterans as salesmen and encouraged them to wear their uniforms recount wartime experiences and frame the purchase as a patriotic act in support of the financially distressed former president. Produced solely as temporary sales tools and never intended to survive most of these samples were heavily worn from use discarded or destroyed. Surviving examples seldom appear in commerce. Description of the Contents: Thin octavo front and rear boards stamped in gilt spine bare as issued floral endpapers. Contains abbreviated portions of the to-be-published first and second volumes including both title pages and steel-engraving portraits of Grant with tissue guards; several chapters of completed text; and tipped-in sheets indicating where foldout materials would be located. Tipped onto the front and rear pastedowns are spine strips representing three of the binding options cloth sheep and half morocco. After the sample text there are tipped-in notices that inform salesmen about the publisher's efforts to combat unauthorized imitations of Grant's memoirs the possibility of legal action against the responsible publishers the availability of the book only by subscription with the firm's agents and an announcement that Grant completed writing both volumes. The volume concludes with page listing the prices of the five binding options and a series of ruled pages on which the salesman could record customer's orders. Condition: Boards worn soiled and stained; gilt rubbed but fairly bright; tips pushed with some exposure; edges rubbed. Tight hinges and binding. Closed tear to the top and bottom of the front free endpaper and one open tear to the bottom. Mild tanning of the leather spine strips on the front pastedown to the front free endpaper and heavy tanning to the subsequent blank leaf as usual. Pages tanned with occasional minor imperfections and handling marks including scattered finger smudging. One order page is filled out on four lines. The rest of the order pages are unfilled and the last has been torn out. "The natural disposition of most people is to clothe a commander of a large army whom they do not know with almost superhuman abilities. A large part of the National army for instance and most of the press of the country clothed General Lee with just such qualities but I had known him personally and knew that he was mortal; and it was just as well that I felt this."

1881réf. 150473New York March 3 1881. Letter signed by Ulysses S. Grant as President of the Mexican Southern Railroad Company. One page on Mexican Southern Railroad Company letterhead manuscript in another hand the letter reads in full: New York March 8 1881 Hon Hubert O Thompson Commissioner of Public Works 31 Chambers St New York Dear Sir: I take great pleasure in presenting to you Mr Ricardo Orozco Civil Engineer of Mexico who has been in the employ of the Company which I represent in locating the Mexican Southern Railroad and who has been engaged and is now largely in-terested in the public works about the City of Mexico. Mr Orozco desires to examine the Water Works particularly and other of the public works of this City with a view of acquiring information which he may make available in the work to be accomplished about the capital of his own country. I would esteem it a favor if you would facilitate him in the object he has in view. Truly Yours "U.S. Grant."

In near fine condition. Mounted and framed. The letter measures 8.25 inches by 11 inches. The entire piece measures 21 inches by 17 inches. After leaving the presidency Ulysses S. Grant sought to translate his public stature into commercial authority most notably through his role in founding and leading the Mexican Southern Railroad Company. Developed in collaboration with the Mexican diplomat and statesman Matías Romero the venture aimed to build a strategic passenger-and-freight corridor linking Puebla and Oaxaca strengthening regional commerce while attracting U.S. capital to Mexican infrastructure. The company was incorporated in New York on March 1 1881 with Grant serving as its president and functioning as the project’s principal public representative to investors and the press. Despite these high-profile beginnings the enterprise was weakened by slow surveying construction delays and persistent financial instability entering bankruptcy by the mid-1880s. Under subsequent ownership construction resumed and the line was completed in 1892 operating profitably for a time before its eventual nationalization in 1936 a trajectory that underscores both the ambition and volatility of transnational railroad development in the late nineteenth century. unknown
