1895réf. 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.

1808réf. 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.
