Mexico 1794. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND: In 1519 the Spaniards conquered Mexico. This led to the formation of a new state called New Spain and later into a new hybrid culture. Several military expeditions were led to extend 'New Spain'. The whole of Central America West Indies Philippines and parts of the current Texas and California were later conquered to become part of New Spain. The Spanish political control over Mexico lasted for three centuries. The entire region was formed into a viceroyalty in 1535. The colony was divided into provinces ruled by governors. These provinces were divided into departments and subdivided into districts. Magistrates controlled the districts and mayors led smaller villages. The parliament court handled all political matters and the Council of Indies controlled the other administrative matters. Off course the supreme authority over the Spanish empire belonged to the king. This system was pretty inefficient as it took several years for directives from the king to be implemented at the lower levels. During the initial administration grants called Encomiendas were given to colonists which controlled Indian labor and produce. This led to the misuse of power and atrocities against the Indians increased. The Indians revolted against the Spaniards in 1541 but were easily subdued. The Spanish emperor Charles V initiated the decline of the Encomienda system in 1542. This decline saw the emmergence of the Roman Catholic Church. The church was successful in carrying out mass conversions. The Spaniards protected the Indians that converted. Missions and monasteries dominated much of the land. The Spaniards thrived by the new found wealth in the colonies. They amassed huge wealth by controlling silver mining large ranches and estates that grew wheat sugarcane and indigo for export. Spanish merchants exported such goods as cotton silk and dye that were produced by the Indians. The prosperity of New Spain began to decline in the 17th century. Disease and natural disasters destroyed most of the Indian population. Most others migrated slowly to remote parts. Mines were abandoned and large areas of farmland were destroyed. The economy of New Spain collapsed. In 1810 a catholic priest named Miguel Hidalgo called upon Mexicans to rise up and fight the Spanish. Although father Hidalgo was killed another priest Jose Morelos continued to lead the fighting. New Spain finally won its independence from Spain in 1810 and came to be called Mexico. ; Spanish Language; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; MEXICO MEXICAN TAXES NEW SPAIN MEXICAN REVOLUTION NAPOLEON BONAPARTE CHARLES V HIDALGO MORELOS HANDWRITTEN HISTORICAL HISTORY HAND WRITTEN HOLOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT MANUSCRIPTOS SPANISH ESPANOL VICEROY mestizos repartimientos antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito papel. . hardcover
ref. 140949913San Francisco: No publisher 1974. Original reverse painting by Residents' co-founder Hardy Fox on acetate measuring 16 x 19.75". Image of Edweena variant of that used on cover of The Residents' second studio album but shelved until it was released as their fourth album overall Not Available. The back of that album credits it "based on a drawing by a Resident"-- presumably this is either the drawing or a later development of it. In this painting Edweena's skin is a normal hue not green her hair brown as opposed to bright red her eyes red her name is not written along her collar and the background is a sedate turquoise rather than Near Fine with paint loss to upper corners a few tiny flakes along sides. From the estate of Hardy Fox. Not Available is a favorite among Residents fans but also a very dark album. Not surprisingly it came from a very dark place. The fandom wiki for the group states: "Following the commercial failure of Meet The Residents which sold only forty copies in its first year of release the group's lead composer Hardy Fox was in the midst of 'a bit of depression' and simultaneously coming to terms with the growing realisation that he was gay spent a great deal of time alone in The Residents' studio writing and recording 'somber melodies' with an old piano which he later called his 'best friend' at that time . The tensions which had developed among the members of The Residents peaked in the summer of 1974 supposedly culminating in a 'horribly embarrassing' food fight in a Chinese restaurant.Instead of allowing the group to splinter The Residents isolated themselves conducting 'rehearsals' as a form of group therapy. Through these rehearsals inspired by psychodrama a psychotherapy method in which participants act out their emotions through interpersonal interaction within a stage-like setting a stylized and surreal narrative began to develop." That psychodrama informs the album an opera of sorts. Like the music its album cover is distinctively off-putting. It's cartoonish but certainly not cute or comical full of resigned frowning faces and a certain emotionally-drained surrealism. Like the Residents oeuvre it is what it is. No apologies!

ref. 29715Photographic portrait. 1952. A large photographic reproduction of the 1951 Trinity House portrait by Sir Oswald Birley. Inscribed to the lower margin in black ink by Winston Churchill during his second term as British Prime Minister "With many thanks / from your old friend / Winston S. Churchill / 1952". Measuring 37 x 30 cm. In excellent condition with minor creasing to the corners and toning to the margin edges the inscription and photograph bright and without fading. Contemporary dark wood frame glazed. A scarce image in inscribed state. In April 1951 the maritime authority Trinity House commissioned the distinguished portrait painter Oswald Birley to depict Winston Churchill as an Elder Brother of the Corporation. Churchill had held this prestigious association since his service as First Lord of the Admiralty before and during the First World War. His connection with Trinity House remained a visible and symbolic one: Churchill was frequently photographed wearing the distinctive Trinity House cap or uniform particularly during naval inspections and maritime visits throughout the Second World War. The recipient of this particularly warm prime-ministerial presentation was the eminent Australian statesman Lord Casey Richard Gavin Gardiner Casey 18901976. One of the most distinguished figures in twentieth-century Australian public life Casey enjoyed a remarkable career in imperial and international service. He served as an army officer in the First World War later entering politics as a cabinet minister and subsequently representing Australia as Ambassador to the United States. During the Second World War he sat in Churchill's War Cabinet and later held the office of Governor of Bengal. His long career of public service culminated in his appointment as the 16th Governor-General of Australia serving from 1965 to 1969.

1787ref. 122705London: Downing Street 2 Nov. 1787. Pitt seeks Anglo-French action against the slave trade An important autograph letter from Pitt then prime minister proposing confidential approaches to France over a joint agreement to end the slave trade. Writing to Britain's envoy in Paris he reveals his personal support for William Wilberforce's abolitionist initiative at a formative moment in the campaign. Pitt refers to an earlier communication from Wilberforce outlining "a scheme which may appear to some people chimerical but which I really believe may with proper management be made practicable". He asks Eden to discover "the private sentiments of the French Government upon it" explaining that he means "the idea of the two nations agreeing to discontinue the villainous traffic now carried on in Africa". The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade had been founded in May 1787 and Pitt encouraged Wilberforce to champion its cause in Parliament. Wilberforce's letter to Eden dated 20 October 1787 survives in the National Maritime Museum providing the immediate context for Pitt's intervention. International cooperation offered a means of overcoming a central objection to British abolition: that the trade would merely pass into the hands of rival maritime powers. Eden 17441814 later 1st Baron Auckland had been sent to Paris in 1785 to negotiate a commercial treaty signed in September 1786. He subsequently helped resolve disputes between the British and French East India companies making him a natural intermediary for these sensitive approaches. Pitt continued to pursue the proposal writing again in December 1787 to encourage preparations for discussions involving Spain as well as France. No international agreement resulted and Britain finally abolished its slave trade in 1807 a year after Pitt's death. Single sheet 239 x 196 mm written in ink on two pages. Remains of mounting guard on verso overwritten in another hand; later annotation at foot of second page "To Lord Auckland.". Browned with scattered marks and discolouration minor wear and puncture to left edge not affecting text; in very good condition. unknown
