1984réf. 65663Lima Peru: Secretaría del Ministro de Marina 1984. 3a ed. numerada corr. y ampliada. Hardcover. Very good in very good dust jacket. Slight bowing at rear board oversize book. Text in Spanish. 441 p. : ill. some col. ; 29 cm. This work also commemorated the Sesquicentenario de su natalicio 1834/1984. Section entitled Grau el Marino Eponimo del Pery pro Fernando Romero starts at page 29 and goes to page 68. From Wikipedia: Miguel María Grau Seminario was a renowned Peruvian naval officer and hero of the Naval Battle of Angamos during the War of the Pacific 1879-1884. He was known as the el Caballero de los Mares Spanish for "Gentleman of the Seas" for his chivalry and is esteemed by both Peruvians and Chileans. He is an iconic figure for the Peruvian Navy and one of the most famous merchant marine and naval military leaders of America. His mother Luisa Seminario y del Castillo motivated Grau to love the sea from his youth. He entered the Paita Nautical School. He first went to sea when he was nine years old going to Fortune Colombia aboard a merchant schooner. Grau later went on various merchant ships to ports in Oceania Asia America and Europe. In 1853 at the age of 19 he left the merchant marine and became an officer candidate of the Peruvian Navy where he developed an outstanding professional reputation. In 1854 he was Military officer of the steamer Rimac. His career was rapid and brilliant. In 1863 he was promoted a year later. In 1864 he was sent to Europe to oversee the construction of ships for the Peruvian fleet. Upon his return Chile and Peru joined together in a bi-national fleet against Spanish attempts to reclaim their American colonies. In 1868 he was recalled to the Navy and was named commander of the Huáscar with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. By June 1 1874 he became the commanding officer of the Peruvian Navy's fleet and later became a member of the Congress of the Republic of Peru as an elected congressman in 1876 representing Paita. the War of the Pacific against Chile began on 5 April 1879 Miguel Grau was aboard the Huáscar as its captain and the Commander of the Navy. Capitán Grau played an important role by interdicting Chilean lines of communication and supply damaging capturing or destroying several enemy vessels and bombarding port installations. Grau's Huáscar became famed for moving stealthily striking by surprise and then disappearing. These actions put off a Chilean invasion by sea for six months. At the Battle of Iquique after Huáscar sank the Chilean corvette Esmeralda by ramming her Grau ordered the rescue of the surviving crew from the waters. Grau also wrote condolences to the widow of his opponent Arturo Prat returning his sword and personal effects. At the port of Antofagasta after sneaking up on an enemy ship he courteously asked the crew to abandon ship before opening fire. These and other gestures earned him the nickname of el Caballero de los Mares "Gentleman of the Seas" from his Chilean opponents acknowledging an extraordinary sense of chivalry and his gentlemanly behavior combined with his highly-efficient and brave combat career. Almirante Grau was killed by an armor-piercing shell during the Naval Battle of Angamos on 8 October 1879. Huáscar was captured by the Chileans after incurring severe casualties in the close-range artillery duel. Although most of Grau's body was not recovered his remains were buried with military honours in Chile which were returned to Peru in 1958. For many years after his death his name was called in a ceremonial roll-call of the Peruvian Navy. His final resting place lies at the Escuela Militar Naval del Peru in El Callao in an underground mausoleum. He posthumously received the rank of Gran Almirante del Perú Grand Admiral of Peru in 1967 by order of the Peruvian Congress. A portrait of Almirante Grau is on display in the museum ship Huáscar. In the year 2000 Miguel Grau was recognized as the "Peruvian of the Millennium" by popular vote. Secretaría del Ministro de Marina hardcover

1851réf. 2007AG1851. London & New York J & F. Tallis 1851. Original steel engraving / Vintage map. Drawn and engraved by John Rapkin. Partly hand-coloured. Plate Size: 24.7 cm x 33.8 cm. Sheet Size: 27.4 cm x 37.5 cm. Vintage 19th century map in very good condition. John Tallis 7 November 1817 3 June 1876 was an English cartographic publisher. His company John Tallis and Company published views maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851. Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842; the business moved to Smithfield in 1846 and was dissolved in 1849. From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858 selling it for £1370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. Wikipedia The most important project John Tallis undertook was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin 1815-1876 and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes people in their environment and even more so historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities architecture and landscape. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park London from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century and it was a much anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert husband of the reigning monarch Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time including Charles Darwin Samuel Colt members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë Charles Dickens Lewis Carroll George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".
