1831rif. List3518New York City 1831. Two-page printed circular measuring 7 ¾ x 12 ¾ inches with manuscript note from Aaron H. Palmer. Folded with some small tears larger tear at seal not intersecting with text. Overall excellent. Aaron Haight Palmer 1779–1863 was the director of the “American and Foreign Agency for Claims”—essentially a high-end collections agency—and later Consul General of the Republic of Ecuador. He was extremely well-connected and his activities included a tour of Europe and Asia to gather information about commerce there for the Rothschilds.1 Offered here is an 1831 circular from Palmer’s Agency signed by Palmer and sent to A. Lang Esq. in Selkirk Scotland. The circular advertises the sale of “a large tract of land lying on the Gulf of Mexico in East Florida” which “is owned in sole propriety by Richard S. Hackley Esq. an American citizen.” Hackley 1770–1843 a merchant and later US Consul in Spain had been deeded twelve million acres of land around present-day Tampa by the Duke of Alagon in 1819—who himself had been granted the land by Ferdinand VII in 1817. The circular extols the virtues of the land for sale especially Tampa as “a favorable site for the foundations of a great maritime city” and Chatham Bay’s “proximity to the West India markets”. At the time Florida was in the midst of the Seminole Wars; the Treaty of Payne’s Landing would soon demand that all Indigenous people in Florida leave for Indian Territory. It is not clear what came of Palmer’s attempt to sell Hackley’s land; the latter’s heirs’ claims to his estate were settled in 1908 when the US Supreme Court decided that the Kingdom of Spain had annulled the grant prior to the Adams-Onís Treaty giving Florida to the US. We find one copy of the circular on OCLC. Of interest to historians of the settlement of Florida. 1 Jessica Lepler “‘There is no need for anyone to go to America’: commercial correspondence and nineteenth-century globalisation” Rothschild Archive https://www.rothschildarchive.org/materials/no_need_to_go_to_america.pdf accessed February 12 2026. unknown

Occasional minor wear to photos or captions. A well-organized and meticulously-captioned vernacular photograph album with significant content on Florida and Cuba in the first decade of the 20th century. The album is organized chronologically and features a family from Ohio traveling from home by train to Florida and thence to Cuba then returning home in the spring of 1909. The first seven and the last twenty-five photographs emanate from Ohio where the journey started Tennessee and Georgia but otherwise the album features Florida and Cuba in over 200 pictures. The scenes in Florida range from Jacksonville to Key West and other points in-between featuring the state in almost 120 photos both before and after the traveling party went to Cuba. The images capture portraits of the travelers numerous homes hotels businesses and other buildings including an ostrich farm in Jacksonville numerous scenes in Ocala including one image featuring "Mary and her old colored Mammy" various churches and other scenes in Tampa residences in Key West beach scenes at Long Key various hotels and agricultural fields in Miami and various buildings in Palm Beach Ormand and St. Augustine concluding with a front view of the "Old Slave Market" in the latter city. Most notably the album includes eighty-six photographs of Cuba the nexus point for the present trip where the party arrived on March 20. The Cuba scenes mostly feature Havana with several views of "Beautiful Residences" and other buildings plus some street views and other scenes in the city. Other interesting Havana scenes picture the railroad station "The Bone Yard -- Old destroyed Catacombs" scenes in the Malecon and more. Some of the street scenes in Havana picture local residents one of "Children on the street corner" and another showing "Children scrambling for pennies" in the middle of the street. The album also contains views of the wreck of the Maine Morro Castle the interior of Fort Cabanas and more. The travelers managed to wander outside Havana for a day when they ventured to the countryside and the town of Guines on March 23. While there the compiler took photographs of countryside outside Guines a railroad car full of sugar cane thatched houses a group photograph of the students at a "Spanish School in Guines" a "Child crying in the street" a group of locals outside a cafe captioned "Strangers in a strange land.Where we tried to get something to eat" other street scenes in the town and the local jail. The last photograph of Cuba here features a "Large Sugar Mill in Providencia." The group then returned through Florida Georgia and Tennessee where they spent a day at Lookout Mountain and Orchard Knob before their final stop in Dayton Ohio. A wonderful early-20th century travel album with significant views in Florida and Cuba. March 5 to April 1 unknown

1890rif. 3620Gainesville Fl: Daily Advocate Job Print 1890. Very good. 4pp. on a single folded sheet. Mild soiling minor toning old folds. A seemingly unrecorded real estate promotional leaflet issued by Louis A. Barnes and Watson Porter local land attorneys working in and around Gainesville Florida. The pair is seeking prospective purchasers for "much valuable" homestead lands now available for settlement again after being abandoned "under the homestead or pre-emption laws." They also offer services for claims on "Spanish Grants" land warrants soldiers' homestead rights and more. Interestingly one of the two lawyers here Watson Porter previously served as a surgeon in the Third U.S. Colored Troops. In Florida Porter and his wife Olivia established O.A. Porter's Addition to Gainesville selling lots exclusively to African-American people who did not have ready access to land or financing; the neighborhood survives today in Gainesville as Porters Quarters. Porter also served as the Principal of the Union Academy a freedman's school and was a strong supporter of Josiah T. Walls the only African-American man from Gainesville to be elected and seated twice to the U.S. House of Representatives. Some of the land and services in question in the present pamphlet were almost certainly provided to African-American settlers. The pamphlet was printed by the Gainesville-area Daily Advocate which operated in the area between 1884 and 1890. No copies located in OCLC. Daily Advocate Job Print unknown
