1890Best.-Nr. 202841890. Photographers unknown. African American cowboy photographs late 19th century. These images document Black participation in ranching and frontier life in the decades following emancipation when a significant proportion of working cowboys in the American West were African American. The photographs record both labor and self-presentation through an outdoor riding scene and a formal studio portrait providing evidence of how Black men and youth engaged with western occupations mobility and dress during a period when new economic opportunities emerged alongside persistent racial constraints. The material supports research into African American labor history western expansion and the social formation of Black life in the post-Civil War United States. Two photographs comprising one albumen print and one tintype each approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches. The albumen image depicts a young African American boy mounted on a bucking horse holding a cowboy hat and riding crop dressed in a buttoned shirt trousers and lace-up boots; a tipi structure is visible in the background situating the scene within a western or plains environment. The tintype presents a studio portrait of a young African American man wearing a striped three-piece suit and a wide-brimmed hat associated with late nineteenth-century western fashion indicating the circulation of frontier dress within formal portrait settings. Together the images contrast lived outdoor activity with constructed studio identity documenting both labor and presentation. These photographs align with broader patterns of African American migration and employment in the American West after the American Civil War when formerly enslaved individuals sought work in ranching cattle driving and related trades. Historians have noted that a substantial number of cowboys in the late nineteenth century were Black though their presence has often been underrepresented in popular narratives of the West. Visual documentation of African American riders and western dress provides primary evidence for the study of labor identity and mobility in this period particularly in relation to how individuals navigated new economic roles following emancipation. Minor corrosion affecting a portion of one image primarily in a blank area; remaining details clear and legible. Overall very good condition. unknown books

1588Rarissima carta geografica dell'Africa Occidentale, con gli arcipelaghi delle Canarie e Azzore.La mappa è tratta dal 'Geografia di M. Livio Sanuto : distinta in XII libri : ne quali, oltra l'esplicatione di molti luoghi di Tolomeo, e della Bussola, e dell'Aguglia, si dichiarano le Prouincie, Popoli, Regni... dell'Africa. Con XII tauole di esse Africa in dissegno di rame / aggiuntiui de piu tre Indici da M. Giouan Carlo Saraceni... ; [aiutato a ciò da Giulio suo fratello, che di propia mano tagliò tutti li Rami'.Si tratta del primo atlante dedicato esclusivamnete all'Africa, con le tavole disegnate da Livio Sanuto e finemente tradotte in rame dal fratello Giulio. L'opera venne pubblicata postuma a Venezia nel 1588, da Damiano Zenaro ed a cura di Carlo Saraceni.Incisione in rame, restauri perfettamente eseguit alla piega centrale ed a dei fori di tarlo presenti nella parte superiore ed inferiore, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione.Rara ed affascinante mappa dell'Africa. A very rare map of Western Africa, showing the Canary Islands & Azores.The map is taken form 'Geografia di M. Livio Sanuto : distinta in XII libri : ne quali, oltra l'esplicatione di molti luoghi di Tolomeo, e della Bussola, e dell'Aguglia, si dichiarano le Prouincie, Popoli, Regni... dell'Africa. Con XII tauole di esse Africa in dissegno di rame / aggiuntiui de piu tre Indici da M. Giouan Carlo Saraceni... ; [aiutato a ciò da Giulio suo fratello, che di propia mano tagliò tutti li Rami'.First printed atlas of Africa, published postumously by Sanuto's friend Saraceni who added the tables of contents and the preface on the life of the author.The maps were drawn by Sanuto and finely engraved by his brother Jules. The atlas is divided into twelve books, the first containing notes on scientific observation, the declination of the magnetic needle and corrections to the work, the second explains the divisions of Sanuto's prospective description of the world, and the other ten on Africa which was the only section he completed before his death.Livio Sanuto (c.1520-1576), was a Venetian cosmographer, mathematician and maker of terrestrial globes. Sanuto was one of the so-called Lafreri school of engravers, whose output signalled the transition between the maps of Ptolemy and the maps of Mercator and Ortelius. Livio and his brother Giulio, planned a massive and comprehensive atlas to include maps and descriptions of the whole world, which he believed would be more accurate than any previously published. Unfortunately, he died in 1576 having only completed 12 maps of Africa. The 12 maps were eventually published in 1588 by Livio's brother Giulio, under the title "Geografia Di M. Livio Sanuto..." . In the compliation of this and the other African maps, Sanuto relied on Gastaldi's 1564 map and Portuguese sea charts for the mapping of the coasts and for information about the interior, used accounts by Duarte Barbosa and João de Barros. After its publication in 1588, this work was copied by other leading map makers for nearly a century afterwards.Seas are decorated with contemporary sailing vessels and monsters.Etching with engraving, some expert repairs at the central folds and at worm holes along the upper and lower edge, otherwise in good condition.
