1836réf. 2936Popayan: Manuel G. Córdova 1836. Good plus. 17pp. Small quarto stitched as issued. Small chip at foot of title page. Light dust soiling and some dampstaining. An unrealized proposal to build an early railroad in Colombia from the Cauca Valley to the port of Buenaventura on the Pacific coast. Two families the Borreros and the Sanders formed the company to fund the construction of the line in Cali in 1836. Because of the legal intricacies of the federal system in Colombia at the time the central government could only subsidize interoceanic transportation and it fell to individual states and private companies to build infrastructure. The first railroad in Colombia which crossed the isthmus of Panama was completed almost twenty years later in 1855. Not in OCLC. Manuel G. Córdova unknown books
1863réf. 5642Bogota: Imprenta de la Nacion 1863. Very good. 286vii pp. Later plain wrappers; removed from a sammelband. Ownership mark eradicated from title page. Light tanning. The mid-19th century in Colombian politics was characterized by swings in power between Liberal and Conservative factions until the Liberals ascended to power in the early 1860s and ruled relatively unchallenged for the next two decades. The present work contains a very early printing of their new Constitution of 1863 as ratified by the Ríonegro Convention as well as most of the other legislation adopted there. The constitution incorporated many anti-clerical measures including official separation of church and state; full freedom of worship including non-Catholics; suppression of the religious orders; prohibition of corporate i.e. church ownership of real property; and governmental supervision of worship. The document also thoroughly decentralized power and made each state a virtual law unto itself. In an attempt to curb the authority of its leading politician-general Tomás de Mosquera the liberals made the presidency a two-year office with no immediate re-election.

1957réf. 165321957. Women voting in Colombia 1957 documents Colombian women exercising national suffrage for the first time during the December 1 plebiscite that approved constitutional reforms inaugurating the political settlement known as the National Front. Women had formally received the right to elect and be elected through Legislative Act No. 3 of 1954 but the 1957 plebiscite provided their first opportunity to exercise that right in a nationwide vote. The photograph therefore records two interconnected developments in modern Colombian history: women's entry into the national electorate and a popular vote intended to establish a new constitutional and political arrangement after the fall of General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla and years of violent Liberal Conservative conflict. The plebiscite overwhelmingly approved reforms associated with the National Front under which the Liberal and Conservative parties would share political power; although conceived partly as a means of containing partisan conflict the settlement did not immediately terminate the violence that had marked Colombia since the 1940s. Gelatin silver press photograph with two images. Bogotá Colombia December 4 1957. Approximately 7 x 9 inches. The original caption printed above the photographs states in part: "Women voting for the first time in Colombian history turned out in large numbers in the 12/1 national plebiscite. Many mothers carried children in their arms as they arrived at polling places." The paired images emphasize women's physical participation in the electoral process: mothers are shown arriving to vote with children while at right a woman raises an ink-stained finger which the caption identifies as evidence that she has cast her ballot. These details make the photograph particularly useful as a record of suffrage as lived civic practice rather than merely legislative achievement preserving women's presence at polling places and the visible procedures surrounding their incorporation into the electorate. Colombia's national electoral authority confirms December 1 1957 as the first occasion on which Colombian women voted nationally while Banco de la República sources place that vote within the longer campaign for women's political rights and the constitutional transition leading into the National Front. The photograph was issued only three days after the plebiscite placing its production within the immediate press coverage of an election that altered both Colombian electoral participation and the organization of national political power. The vote followed the period conventionally known as La Violencia a prolonged conflict rooted principally in Liberal Conservative political antagonism; Colombia's Truth Commission identifies major phases extending from 1946 through the Rojas Pinilla dictatorship of 1953 to 1957 and notes continuing violence thereafter. As an original press photograph prepared for newspaper use the print also survives as material evidence of the visual news culture through which images of Colombia's new female electorate circulated contemporaneously. Minor handling and age wear consistent with press use; very good condition. A compelling contemporary visual record of the first nationwide exercise of women's suffrage in Colombia and of female voters' participation in the plebiscite that established the constitutional basis for the National Front. unknown books

Scarce mid-19th-century report on the Republic of Ecuador from a Colombian perspective. Ecuador during this period was under the liberal anticlerical regime of General José María Urbina and was dogged by strife between the ruling party and not only conservative but also monarchical groups as well as by in-fighting amongst liberal factions. The present work by nineteen-year-old Secretary of War !!! Felipe Perez who was appointed in the same year as publication by President José María Obando attempts to analyze the situation in neighboring Ecuador so that its perceived ills might be avoided in Colombia.

1863réf. 2939Bogota Colombia 1863. Very good. Large broadside approximately 17 x 11 inches. Previously folded. Small chip at right edge not affecting text. A large and unrecorded broadside dated June 12 1863 printed in two columns and addressed to Manuel Suarez Fortoul the chief magistrate of Bogota regarding the recently passed law on the property of religious orders. The law which allowed for taxes on such property caused much consternation in Colombia as did similar laws elsewhere in Latin America during the mid-19th century. Here the author Manuel I. Narvaez offers a detailed extensive and outraged sixteen-point rebuttal of the magistrate's arguments for the constitutionality of the law. Not in OCLC. unknown
