1910réf. 57046Lynchburg Va.: J.P. Bell Company Incorporated ca. 1910. Thoroughly Illustrated Florida Promotional Pamphlet A rare promotional booklet for Marion County Florida around the turn of the 20th century primarily focused on attracting farmers. The county's slogan "Good as the Best for Fruit and Vegetables/ Better than the Rest for 'Hog and Hominy'" adorns the first page. The final page drives home the point stressing that "This county contains good land within its boundaries.Her resources are unlimited; the industrious farmer can succeed." The pamphlet itself is mostly made up of photographic illustrations with occasional text about the climate schools and other amenities in the region. The illustrations show homes farms street scenes flora golf clubs and other recreations and more. An insert at the end comprises two postcards to be detached and mailed to the Marion County Board of Trade for further information. Marion County was greatly affected by the Great Freeze of 1894-5 which saw Orlando reach its all-time record low temperature of eighteen degrees Fahrenheit and wreaked havoc on Florida's citrus crop. Land that had cost as much as $1000 per acre in the early 1890s dropped dramatically in value and even at the time of this pamphlet's printing per-acre prices in Marion County were advertised in a range from ten to a hundred dollars. This pamphlet is quite rare; OCLC locates only two institutional copies at Duke University and the State Library of Florida. Oblong octavo. Original pictorial wrappers stapled. Minor wear. Near fine.

1960réf. 230921960. Cuban Refugees Caravan of Sorrow Miami Herald press photograph archive 1960 to 1966 documents Cuban exile political organizing refugee displacement and United States federal response in South Florida across the critical period between the Cuban Revolution and the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966. The archive follows a defined sequence of events beginning with the September 1960 Caravan of Sorrow protest a demonstration organized by Cuban exile women traveling from Miami to New York to confront Fidel Castro's appearance at the United Nations and continues through the January 5 1961 closure of the Cuban consulate in Miami following the United States' severance of diplomatic relations on January 3. Subsequent photographs document the Kennedy administration's February 1961 Cuban Refugee Assistance Program centered at Miami's Freedom Tower the March 10-12 1962 Bayfront Park hunger strike in which 152 Cuban exiles demanded arms rather than humanitarian aid the October 1965 Key West arrivals during the Camarioca boatlift initiated on October 10 and the beginning of the federally organized Freedom Flights on December 1 1965. Produced by Miami Herald staff photographers Albert Coya and John Pineda both active documentarians of the Cuban exile community the archive establishes a continuous visual record of exile political life and federal refugee policy during the early Cold War. Archive of 12 Large silver gelatin press photographs Miami Herald South Florida 1960 to 1966 Each 10 x 8 inches to 9 x 7 inches with original verso annotations including dates photographer credits editorial markings crop notations and attached newspaper clippings consistent with Miami Herald press photo processing practices. Verso credits identify Albert Coya and John Pineda as staff photographers. Documented subjects include the Caravan of Sorrow bus and assembled Cuban women protesters; the January 5 1961 Cuban consulate closure; refugee intake and processing operations; the Bayfront Park hunger strike accompanied by a clipped headline reading "Exiles Seek Arms Not Aid; 152 Hunger Strikers Freed" dated March 14 1962; police arrests of demonstrators; October 1965 Key West refugee arrivals; and anti-Castro protests. Two photographs dated March 14 1962 document Cuban exiles being forcibly removed by police including one image in which a protester is carried by multiple officers and another showing an individual being thrown into a police van by armed officers providing direct visual evidence of state enforcement against exile demonstrators. One photograph depicts Costa Rican diplomat Gonzalo Facio addressing or attending a Cuban exile rally in April 1964 situating the archive within a broader hemispheric diplomatic context. Additional images show a speaker addressing a large crowd police escorting a detained protester Cuban women aboard a vessel and interior scenes of stacked materials in a processing facility including a sign reading "Se Prohiben Terminantemente." Verso notations such as "Cuban Prisoners Released 1962" "Cuban Refugees" "Anti-Castro Demonstration" and "Cuban Consulate" reflect contemporaneous editorial classification. The six-year span of the archive crosses three presidential administrations and documents multiple defining events in Cuban American history through photographs produced on assignment at the moment of occurrence. The Caravan of Sorrow images carry particular research value given later declassification of United States involvement through the Cuban Revolutionary Council placing these photographs among the few contemporaneous visual records outside government archives. The March 1962 Bayfront Park hunger strike occurring after the Bay of Pigs prisoner negotiations and before the Cuban Missile Crisis is documented with attached newspaper evidence confirming both the number of participants and their political demands providing direct insight into divisions within the exile community over United States policy. Light handling wear edge silvering and areas of foxing are present across prints; verso clippings show toning and occasional edge loss consistent with newsroom use. Overall good to very good condition. A cohesive photographer-attributed press archive documenting the development of Cuban exile political identity and United States refugee policy in South Florida during the formative early Cold War period. unknown
