1625réf. ABC_46574Lisbon: Pedro Craesbeeck 1625. Not bound. Folio. With a small woodcut decorated initial opening the text. Rare Spanish propagandistic news publication emphasizing the success of the Spanish fleet against the English and Dutch during the Anglo-Spanish and Eighty Years' War discussing the heavy losses of the Anglo-Dutch fleet on their way to Cádiz in 1625. In 1624 negotiations for the marriage between Charles Prince of Wales son of King James I and the Spanish infanta Maria sister of Philip IV broke down and war broke out because the Spanish court could not accept a marriage as long as Charles refused to convert to Catholicism. In 1625 the English prepared a fleet to sail to Spain more specifically Cádiz an important trading port of the Spanish silver fleet. In October 1625 approximately 100 ships including 15 Dutch warships sailed for Cádiz. Soon the ships were plagued with difficulties especially storms. Many ships were left barely seaworthy and it caused major delays. On 1 November 1625 fleet entered the Bay of Cádiz but in the end the mission failed.The present publication can be seen as Spanish propaganda presented as "news" emphasizing their victories. While sailing to Cádiz the Anglo-Dutch fleet came in heavy weather near Dunkirk. The text describes in great detail how ships went down or how they were captured but also the drowning of many people on board. The present publication in Spanish was printed in Lisbon in 1625 still under the rule of the Spanish monarchs the Crown of Portugal was united with the Crowns of Castile and Aragon from 1580 to 1640. It is an outstanding example of the Spanish annus mirabilis praising the Spanish victories during the wars with England and the Dutch Republic.Edges frayed and slightly browned with a few spots the two leaves nearly separated at the fold some minor foxing and a small jagged tear in the second leaf with minor loss of text. Otherwise in good condition. A rare piece of news and propaganda on the successes of the Spanish fleet against the Dutch and English ships.l Ensayo de bibliografía marítima Española 2467; Palau 257848; Pohler Bibliotheca Historico-Militaris p. 246; USTC 5025988 9 copies; Wilkinson & Lorenzo eds.

Caissotti." Sabin 25924. Borba de Moraes 328. Hill p. 115. Leclerc 1736. Palau 94964. Gibson's Library p. 128. Item #BB0841. Frézier set sail in 1712 with a French commission to assess the strength of Spanish settlements on the Pacific coast and to revise existing charts. According to Hill he "brought back information of considerable geographical and scientific value" to later navigators and his account is today appreciated for its keen observations of the customs commerce and natural historyincluding the cotton and strawberry plantsof Chile Peru and Tierra del Fuego. It's interesting to note that Frezier's surname was itself derived from fraise the French for strawberry. The chapters on Indian and Creole life include descriptions of costume and architecture as well as musical instruments. The folding plans of cities visited are often enhanced by panoramic views as in the case of Callao Concepción Valparaíso La Serena Salvador de Bahía and Angra Azores. Amongst the most important plates are the general map of the expedition the Strait of Lemaire Valdivia Bahía de an Vicente Santiago de Chile Lima and Bahía de Todos los Santos. An immediate success the work was soon translated into English and German and republished several times in the eighteenth century. N. B.

Frankfurt. Das Leinen am Rand etwas nachgedunkelt. "Vatter (1888-1948) war Kustos am Völkerkunde Museum in Frankfurt. "Religiöse Plastik der Naturvölker" ist "ein heute noch auch aus historischen Gründen bedeutendes Werk für die Kunstethnologie. Vatter löst sich in dieser Veröffentlichung von Formfragen und untersuchte stattdessen die Rolle des Künstlers in außereuropäischen Gesellschaften. Er ließ Fragen der Evolutionstheorie hinter sich, wandte sich von der Debatte Abstraktion oder Naturalismus ab und sprach sich dafür aus, dass das künstlerische Schaffen nur aus dem weiteren sozialen und religösen Umfeld der Gemeinschaft zu verstehen sei" (Wikipedia).
