1961ref. 231231961. Baum Allyn. Peru photo archive a substantial working group of large original photographs and related New York Times material centered on Baum's Peru assignments significant for preserving a photographer's own visual record of Andean and Amazonian travel Indigenous communities village life and editorial circulation within mid twentieth century American newspaper photojournalism. Allyn Baum was a staff photographer for The New York Times from 1957 to 1967. Included is a typed note from New York Bureau Chief Gedeon de Margitay congratulating Baum on the Peru photographs published in the Magazine together with the January 21 1962 New York Times article "Into the Unknown" directly linking the images to their original publication context and to contemporary American visual encounters with Peru's Indigenous regions and frontier geographies. From the estate of Allyn Baum. Peru and New York. 1961-1973. Archive of 48 items including 46 large silver gelatin photographs a New York Times article written by Baum and a single-page typed letter regarding publication. Most photographs measure 8" x 10" while 9 larger examples measure 10" x 13". Several are mounted on board and bear Baum's signature or detailed inscriptions such as "Jungle Priest" "Headhunter" and "High Andes Quechua Indians in Peru. Working in home . producing products for sport." Many retain original press captions or handwritten notes on the versos some in Baum's own hand. The photographs document river and jungle travel in the Amazon Basin village and market scenes domestic interiors American aircraft and extensive portrait studies of Andean and Amazonian Indigenous peoples. Indigenous sitters appear weaving spinning wool knitting carrying children traveling by canoe gathered near riverside settlements or posed in both formal and informal portrait settings. Several photographs emphasize textile production and traditional labor practices among Quechua communities in the high Andes while others focus on Amazonian Indigenous groups photographed within thatched settlements and river communities preserving material evidence of architecture clothing subsistence practices and daily life during a period when American newspaper photography increasingly framed Indigenous South America through the lens of exploration modernization and remote access. The archive is a strong record of Peru in the early 1960s documenting not only transportation networks settlement patterns and regional travel but also Indigenous cultural continuity across both Andean and Amazonian environments. Baum's photographs repeatedly center Indigenous Peruvians not simply as background figures within landscape photography but as primary subjects whose labor dress craft production domestic life and physical presence structure the visual narrative of the archive. The accompanying New York Times material preserves the editorial framework through which these images entered American mass circulation while the de Margitay note confirms internal recognition of Baum's Peru work within the newspaper itself. The later date range appears to reflect continued press handling reuse and captioning rather than a single production moment giving the archive additional value as a working newspaper photography file shaped over time. Minor edgewear throughout; versos with original handwritten descriptions by Baum and press editors. A cohesive and well-preserved Peru field photography archive documenting Indigenous life regional travel and mid century American photojournalism connected to The New York Times. unknown

1705ref. 40826Lima. 1705. The Estate of a Spanish General in Peru and Chile Described This document comprises the petition of Luis de Santa Cruz y Padilla general of the Royal Armies in Peru and Chile and his wife Julia Fernández Gallardo for recognition of the establishment of an entailed estate in primogeniture of their farm and lands in the Valley of Lurigancho for the confirmation of their title in Castile and of their son as perpetual treasurer of the Royal Mint of Lima as granted by Royal Order of November 12 1703. This is followed by a copy of the Royal Provision of appointment and entailment as perpetual treasurer and inspector confirmation of entailed estate of lands in Lurigancho and of the title reciting in detail the various privileges and duties of the treasurer and inspector given in Madrid November 12 1703 with confirmation by the Royal Accountants in Madrid November 14 1703. This is continued with the confirmation accompanied by a recital of genealogy discussion of Santa Cruz lineages and reiteration of the terms of the Royal Provision dated and subscribed by notary in Lima August 3 1705 and attested to by witnesses and subscribed by a notary in Lima March 17 1735. The second section is lengthy testimony in Lima on July 10 1782 by María Narcisa de Santa Cruz y Centeno marquise and widow of Moscoso and Mariana de Santa Cruz y Centeno marquise and widow of Otero reciting lineage in support of claims in litigation with other claimants to succession in the entailed estate prior testimony and claims of numerous heirs to inheritance orders of monetary distributions termination of the post of treasurer due to incapacity of the current heir and renunciation by female descendants and agreement of the heirs to terminate the entailed estate dated February 16 1782. Lurigancho is an agricultural region some twenty-five miles to the east of Lima on the right bank of the Río Rimac. The area was isolated until a road was built to it through mountainous terrain during the viceroyalty of Manuel de Aman y Junient 1761-76. José de Santa Cruz y Gallardo 1661-1743 second Count of San Juan de Lurigancho was lieutenant governor and tax collector of the province of Yamparaes tax collector of Mizque and Pocona and chief magistrate of the mines of the Royal District of Charcas. He traveled to Madrid and was received into the Order of Santiago appointed Captain General of Chile and granted the title of Count of San Juan de Lurigancho for his father in 1694-95. He returned to Lima in 1695 but his privileges were suspended by Royal Order in 1697 and he returned to Spain to reclaim them. On December 10 1702 he was named perpetual treasurer of the Royal Mint in Lima established in 1565 by viceroy Lope García de Castro a post inherited by his heirs following his death and he returned to Lima in 1703. His son Diego Santa Cruz y Centeno 1707-74 became assistant treasurer of the mint and in 1743 he inherited the post of treasurer from his father. In 1754 he was excommunicated but this was lifted to permit his continuing in his post. Entailed estates designed to maintain real property intact over generations and usually involving primogeniture deprived other heirs of opportunity to inherit. Initially this situation was resolved by entry into religious or bureaucratic life but with the passage of time and subsequent increase of the number of heirs these solutions became impossible. As more heirs of the holder of the entailed estate went from wealth to poverty on his death the practice was abolished and remaining estates such as this one were dissolved by mutual agreement of the family. 31 leaves. bound with: OFFICIAL MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT DATED 1782 - 1783. 34 leaves.

Good binding and cover. Minor foxing and marginal dampstaining but a still an attractive copy. Palau 267; Sabin 41987. Melchor Linan y Cisneros was the Archbishop of Lima for thirty years and served as viceroy of Peru from 1678-1681. He argued for ecclesiastical liberty against the attempts of his successor Melchor de Navarra Duke of Palata's attempts to curtail clergical abuses. Some of the parish priests and friars were exacting oppressive church taxes against the indigenous population. This book's author Juan Luis Lopez served as the Duke of Palata's secretary and attempts to defend the Duke of Palata's curbs on clergical abuses. "The Archbishop of Lima Melchor de Linan y Cisneros had objected to a decree issued by the Viceroy of Peru Melchor de Navarra y Rocalfull Duke de la Palata for the suppression of certain ecclesiastical abuses. The present publication was issued by order of the Viceroy in answer to the Archbishop's objections." - Maggs SPANISH AMERICA AND THE GUIANAS 1935.

Tra i primi esploratori della Colombia, Pedro Cieza de Leon (1518-60) arrivò in Perù attorno al 1550, e proprio in quell’anno venne nominato “Crónista de Indias” per conto della corona spagnola. In tale veste iniziò la redazione della prima parte delle Historie, ai fatti l'unica che abbia visto la luce.. L’opera è pregevole per essere il frutto di una commistione di fonti diverse: l'Autore attinse a documenti archivistici regi sui possedimenti peruviani ma si basò anche sulle versioni fornite dagli indigeni; inoltre, riportandone i nomi, egli produsse pure un importante documento antropologico. Nella versione italiana l’opera uscì completata dalla traduzione della storia delle Indie realizzata da Francisco Lopez de Gòmara. Cfr.

1868ref. 0012009Macao Macau China Havana Cuba: Chinese Coolie Ship Manifest. Fair with no dust jacket. 1868. Non-Book. On offer is a tremendous San Salvadorian ship manifest recording the names and information of 622 Chinese men who were transported from the port of Macau to Havana Cuba to complete their indentured servitude as coolies working for Cuban sugar plantation owners. This manifest is for the January 25 1868 sailing of the Peruvian Galley the America. This sailing was captained by Cpt Ferreiro for the Compania Maritima del Peru. This sailing was under the San Salvadorian flag. The ship arrived in Macau on May 20 1868. 610 coolies departed Macau and 607 arrived in Cuba. This manifest was signed on January 241868 by Henrique W. Pearce a Macao-based emigration agent. It was also signed the day before departure on January 241868 by The Consul General of His Majesty José de Alguilar. The America had previously been used as a coolie ship called Red Rose under the British flag and under the Italian flag as the America. The America completed a total of seven coolie voyages transporting a total of 4703 Chinese passengers. The Chinese coolie trade a system of indentured labor that targeted young poor Chinese men operated from 1847-1874. Throughout this period African slavery was slowly being abolished around the world. The coolie trade was initiated by Britain and was eventually dominated by both Britain and the United States of America. Chinese coolie laborers were sent to work in British American and Spanish colonies and the nature of the trade changed throughout its 27-year operation due to social and political pressures. The coolie trade took place in large part between the shipping port in Macao now a part of China then under Portuguese rule and Havana Cuba then under Spanish control. As Macau was under Portugese rule at the time of the coolie trade they transported coolies on their vessels frequently and many of the manifests were written in Portuguese and/or Spanish.

Il suo nome è legato anche all’invenzione di strumenti scientifici, tra cui uno per misurare gli angoli. Oggetto del trattato il Barometro, “istrumento in grado eminente per condurre l’intelletto alla cognizione dell’elemento dell’aria”, e il Termometro, strumenti dei quali si ricordano gli inventori, i metodi costruttivi, le evoluzioni tecniche; si esaminano le differenze tra aria e atmosfera, “l’elasticità” della materia eterea, l’atmosfera equinoziale dell’America, specialmente delle montagne e vulcani dell’Ecuador (Caraburo, Oyambaro, Pichincha Pambamarca ecc.) dove l’atmosfera fu misurata con l’aerometro, come ampiamente si descrive nella seconda parte. Un capitolo, in fine, è dedicato all’atmosfera europea.
