OCLC Number: 504754030Set of 12 engravings of Raphael’s frescoes of scenes from the myth of Cupid also known as Eros and Psyche in the Villa Farnesina in Rome. Raphael’s paintings illustrate part of the story The Metamorphoses of Lucius Apuleius the only Latin novel to survive in its entirety. In this work Venus jealous of a beautiful mortal girl named Psyche sends Cupid on an errand to punish the girl. Cupid instead falls in love with Psyche and after a series of secrets betrayals and trials the lovers are reunited and Psyche is made immortal.The frescoes are painted on the vaults and ceiling above demilune reserves on the ground floor at the end of the entrance hall now known as the Loggia of Psyche. Images of leafy garlands of fruit accentuate the arches of the vaults also framing the classical images. The frescoes were commissioned by the Sienese banker Agostino Chigi called “magnifico” by his peers for his richly decorated villa and the elegant entertainments he hosted there. The paintings were recently restored and the Villa Farnesina is open to the public as a museum.Some foxing Rome: Dominico de Rossi, Jo. Jacobi (Jo. Jacobi de Rubeis), August 15, 1693 hardcover
1836réf. 52758Mexico City: Palacio del Gobierno Nacional 1836. Fine. Official printed government notice of Mexico's continuing efforts to maintain control over Texas immediately after the loss at San Jacinto - here working with privateers to harass Texans at sea. When Mexico finally won its independence from Spain in 1821 its territory included modern-day Texas settled by a mix of Tejano Mexican and Texian Anglo-American populations in addition to indigenous tribes and enslaved African Americans. Tensions between the Tejano and Texian factions increased and finally erupted into full-scale violence in 1835 beginning what is now called the Texas Revolution. Its most famous battle at the Alamo occurred a few months before this broadside was issued. The decisive battle of the war San Jacinto occurred on 21 April a Mexican defeat that led to the formation of the Republic of Texas. While the Mexican general Santa Anna negotiated a surrender the Mexican government deposed him for it and refused to recognize an independent Texas. After San Jacinto Mexico avoided pitched battles but continued to take action to undermine and antagonize the new Texas nation. This broadside was one such effort issued just over a week after the defeat at San Jacinto. It announces the formal employment in the navy of private ships to aid in attacking Texans at sea and forming a blockade "para terminar la guerra con los colonos de Tejas é impedir el contrabando en los puertos y costas de la República". Privateers were necessary because the Mexican government did not yet have a robust navy a weakness that the United States would later exploit in the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. Ephemeral broadsides like this survive in few numbers; many of this era during José Justo Corro's interim presidency show only two or three institutional holdings via OCLC. This particular imprint shows three institutional holdings in the US Baylor Texas A&M and Brigham Young. A rare piece of Texana. 12'' x 8.25''. Single letterpress broadside printed recto only. A bit of faint wrinkling. Crisp and bright. Palacio del Gobierno Nacional unknown

1883réf. 4665New York: Imprenta y Libreria de N. Ponce de Leon 1883. Very good. vii53pp. Modern quarter calf and marbled boards spine gilt. Inscribed by the author on verso of title page. Manuscript pencil numbering to top corner of each page. Minor foxing. One of the most important and intriguing 19th century Cuban-American imprints featuring two Socialist 'morality tales' that while lauding the quest for social and economic equally also decry the risks posed by human nature and totalitarianism upon the practical application of Marxism. It was written by the prominent Cuban émigré Rafael de Castro Palomino and features a famous prologue by his close friend and colleague José Martí. From the 1870s to 1890s New York City was the heart of the Cuban community in exile. During the Ten Years' War 1868-1878 a wave of Cuban dissidents many being highly educated and with financial resources arrived in New York forming a vibrant and politically active community. There they had almost unfettered freedom to publish raise money and buy arms to support the struggle in the homeland especially since the U.S. Government hoped to exploit instability in Cuba for its own imperialistic advantage. From 1881 until 1895 José Martí 1853-1895 the brilliant author philosopher poet and journalist who was the 'Apostle of Cuban Independence' often made New York his home. Upon Martí's arrival in New York in 1881 he was greatly assisted by Rafael de Castro Palomino a long-established Cuban resident of the city. Palomino was a prominent Socialist writer and journalist being the author of numerous articles and short books. Even though his name comes up frequently much of Palomino's biography remains hazy. We do know that he was considerably older than Martí hailed form an affluent Havana family and had been educated in France. Like Martí he was deeply concerned about the potential excesses and pitfalls of Marxism as applied on the real world. Notably Martí and Palomino were close friends of Néstor Ponce de León y de la Guardia 1837-1899. An exiled Cuban lawyer and bibliophile he founded the Imprenta y Librería de N. Ponce de León in the early 1870s a Spanish-language printing house and bookstore that became the intellectual center of the New York Cuban émigré community. As an interesting side note he possessed the largest Spanish language private library in New York featuring more than 1700 titles which he made openly available to his colleagues such as Martí and Palomino. The work is relatively rare and particularly so in commerce. We locate four copies in OCLC at the University of Florida's Cuban collection Harvard Yale and the University of Chicago. An important work from the Cuban exile community. Imprenta y Libreria de N. Ponce de Leon unknown
