1910rif. 230041910. Real photo postcards depicting Indigenous peoples of Argentina in the early twentieth century document communities identified in captions as Indios del Chaco alongside additional references to southern regions including Tierra del Fuego. Produced during a period of intensified state expansion and consolidation these images record Indigenous individuals and groups at a time when Argentine policies of land seizure labor exploitation and missionization reshaped Indigenous life. The archive supports research into Indigenous history Latin American nation building and the visual culture of ethnographic photography. Archive consists of 12 black and white real photo postcards each with printed Spanish captions identifying subjects by region or group. The images present posed and semi candid compositions of Indigenous men women and children including group portraits of families and community gatherings as well as individual figures. Several photographs emphasize bodily presentation attire and adornment while others depict men holding tools or weapons in open landscapes. The majority of images are associated with the Chaco region an area targeted by military campaigns and settler expansion while one card references Tierra del Fuego extending the geographic range of the archive. The postcards appear to have been issued for circulation as documentary or commercial imagery. These photographs were produced in the aftermath of campaigns such as the Conquest of the Desert and subsequent northern military actions when Indigenous populations in Argentina were subjected to displacement forced labor and incorporation into state and missionary systems. Visual documentation of Indigenous communities during this period often coincided with efforts by anthropologists missionaries and state actors to classify and record populations whose autonomy was being curtailed. The images therefore function both as records of community life and as artifacts of a broader system of representation tied to colonial governance and modernization narratives. Mild fading and edge wear to some cards with others remaining sharp; overall very good condition. This archive provides primary visual documentation of Indigenous communities in Argentina during a period of significant political and social transformation. unknown books
1910rif. 230061910. Indigenous Peoples of Argentina's Chaco and Northern Regions early 20th century. This photo archive consists of 10 black and white photographs comprising three real photo postcards and four original silver gelatin photographs documenting Indigenous peoples of Argentina in rural and semi-rural settings. The materials date to the early 20th century and originate primarily from northern Argentina with several images clearly associated with Indigenous communities of the Chaco. The postcards carry printed captions in Spanish identifying subjects by regional or ethnic designation. The post cards are from the 1910s-20s while the photographs are probably from 1930s-40s demonstrating the eras between Native expulsion at the turn of the century to colonial era labor workers. Historically these images must be understood within the violent context of Indigenous dispossession and assimilation policies in early twentieth-century Argentina. Following campaigns such as the Conquest of the Desert and subsequent northern military actions Indigenous peoples were subjected to land seizure population displacement forced labor on plantations and ranches and confinement within missions or state-controlled settlements. In regions like the Chaco Indigenous communities were frequently exploited for agricultural and industrial labor under coercive conditions while their cultures were documented by missionaries anthropologists and photographers who framed them as vanishing or pre-modern. The collection depicts Indigenous men women and children engaged in daily life and posed portraiture. Group scenes show families gathered outdoors domestic labor such as food preparation and carrying water and communal resting or work areas constructed from organic materials. Several photographs emphasize mobility and subsistence including figures carrying bundles tools or containers across arid terrain while others present seated family groups framed in front of shelters or temporary dwellings. Individual and small-group portraits highlight clothing that blends Indigenous traditions with elements of imposed or adopted settler attire revealing the uneven process of cultural disruption and adaptation underway at the time. Light handling and edgewear throughout photos remain crisp and clear. Overall very good condition. This archive provides an important primary visual source for understanding Indigenous life in Argentina during a critical era of colonial consolidation offering insight into everyday practices family structures and the visual strategies through which Indigenous peoples were represented and controlled. unknown books
1947rif. 147941947. Women's suffrage celebration Buenos Aires 1947 documents the mass public response to Argentina's enactment of Law 13010 which established equal political rights for women and men and granted Argentine women the right both to vote and to stand for national political office. The Chamber of Deputies gave the legislation final approval on September 9 1947 and President Juan Domingo Perón formally promulgated it on September 23 presenting the law to First Lady Eva Perón during a public ceremony attended by a large gathering in Buenos Aires. The photograph consequently records a defining episode in Argentine women's political history and the culmination of decades of suffrage activism pursued by women including Julieta Lanteri Alicia Moreau de Justo Elvira Rawson and others alongside Eva Perón's prominent advocacy during the Peronist government. Gelatin silver press photograph. Buenos Aires Argentina September 26 1947. Approximately 9 x 7 inches. The image depicts a densely packed crowd assembled outside the Presidential Palace or Casa Rosada in connection with the announcement of women's suffrage giving visual form to the unusually public character of the political milestone. The photograph shows the collective scale of the celebration rather than an isolated portrait of political leadership preserving the presence of ordinary Argentinians gathered around the seat of national government following the recognition of women's political rights. The law was promulgated on September 23 three days before the date carried by this press photograph; Argentine government sources identify that public ceremony as the occasion on which Perón delivered the measure symbolically to Eva Perón before the assembled crowd. As a wire-service photograph the image was produced for rapid transmission and reproduction by newspapers placing the photograph not only at the scene of the celebration but within the contemporary news infrastructure through which the event reached audiences beyond Buenos Aires. Law 13010 did not itself establish legal divorce as stated in the earlier description; its central provision established equality of political rights between Argentine women and men. Argentina introduced absolute divorce only later under Law 14394 in December 1954 during Perón's second presidency. The suffrage legislation nevertheless substantially altered women's formal relationship to the Argentine state: after the administrative work necessary to register women as voters more than four million women entered the electoral rolls and women participated in national elections for the first time on November 11 1951. Eva Perón became closely identified with the measure although official Argentine historical accounts place her advocacy within the longer work of socialist radical feminist and other suffrage campaigners who had pressed for women's political citizenship before the rise of Peronism. Light handling and age wear consistent with its use as a working press photograph; very good condition. A visually immediate contemporary record of the public celebration surrounding one of the principal expansions of women's political rights in twentieth-century Argentina. unknown books

Inscribed on the mount by Perón in Spanish on December 23 1948 to the internationally renowned dentist Dr. Stanley D. Tylman "in gratitude for his services to Argentina and the friendliness he has shown me with his exquisite delicacy . " "Born in 1893 dentist Stanley D. Tylman not only taught more than 1000 students at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry in his long career as a Professor of Dentistry 1920-1962 and head of the Department of Fixed Partial Prosthodontics but he influenced countless dentists internationally as well. "Tylman was particularly effective as a global educational force because he spoke four languages. His international lecture schedule took him to Asia Europe the Caribbean and South America--including Argentina where he performed dental work for President Juan Peron and First Lady Evita Peron. Dentists worldwide traveled to Chicago for personal consultations with Dr. Tylman . Tylman died in 1982." -- Wikipedia 8/3/06. unknown books

1895rif. 57189Buenos Aires Argentina: Arrufana Garrido Ortiz & Cia. 1895. An Enlightening Look at Buenos Aires and Surroundings in 1895 An interesting gift book from Arrufana Garrido & Ortiz an importing company which operated in Buenos Aires during the 1890s. Each leaf contains a black-and-white photographic illustration of a scene from Buenos Aires or its surroundings on the recto with an advertisement mostly in Spanish printed in cyan on the verso. Among the photos of cities and dramatic landscapes are also more intimate images including several of outdoor markets one of a ranching family outside their straw-roofed home with their livestock and a portrait of a family of Toba people one of Argentina's largest indigenous groups. The illustrations after photographs by Arturo W. Boote are attributed to Gunche Wiebeck y Turtl whose photoprinting and lithography office in Buenos Aires advertised in this volume printed photographs for a number of works as well as maps of Argentina Chile and the surrounding areas of South America around the turn of the 20th century. The advertisements some illustrated offer a wide array of goods and services from firearms to pocket watches to steamboat travel. One advertisement for a restaurant specializing in French and German cuisine is printed side by side in Spanish and German; the text is generally the same although the German side has an additional line that reads "Mit allem comfort der Neuzeit" which might suggest a certain outlook of European visitors towards other establishments in the city. More than just a souvenir this gift book's variety of photos both posed and candid rural and urban along with its breadth of advertisements make it a fascinating window into Argentina at the end of the 19th century.

1808rif. 41553London. 1808. Detailed Account of the British Invasion of Argentina In 1807 Gen. John Whitelocke was sent to the Rio de la Plata with a large force. His goal was to reinforce British troops already operating there and in Argentina and to seize Buenos Aires a move designed to open up the markets of South America to British commerce and replace those lost on the Continent by Napoleon's blockade. Despite his large force Whitelocke proceeded cautiously and ineptly further hampered by bad weather. The assault on Buenos Aires was met by civilian as well as military resistance when the British had expected local merchants to welcome them with open arms. Craufurd commanded a light brigade which led the attack on Buenos Aires and successfully achieved its objectives. However a large part of the attacking force was cut off and forced to surrender while Whitelocke napped in his tent and Craufurd's brigade was ordered to surrender with the rest of the British force. Santiago Liniers the Spanish commander proposed a truce if the British would promise to withdraw in two months but said he could not answer for the safety of the prisoners if the attack was renewed. Feeling that the object of the expedition was now untenable Whitelocke accepted those terms. The British withdrew to Montevideo and then to England losing what might have been a foothold in South America. Whitelocke was the subject of the greatest scorn on returning to England where he was court-martialed and cashiered. Though this work is sometimes attributed to Gen. Whitelocke the accusatory and wounded tone of the narrative makes that unlikely. viii2161pp. plus four folding maps. Antique-style three-quarter calf and marbled boards.
