1930réf. 224461930. Caribbean and Panama travel photograph album. circa early 1930s. This album documents interwar travel through the Panama Canal Zone and Jamaica recording maritime transit canal infrastructure and rural Caribbean life as observed by Western travelers. The photographs provide primary visual evidence of the Panama Canal as a site of industrial activity and international movement alongside scenes of Jamaican village life and landscape establishing a contrast between engineered environments and colonial rural settings. The material is particularly strong in its depiction of canal operations and the presence of local populations within these spaces. Album containing 29 silver gelatin photographs mounted on black leaves with individual prints measuring approximately 3.5 x 4.5 to 5 x 7 inches housed in a string-bound album measuring approximately 7 x 9.5 inches. The opening sequence shows passengers aboard a steamship with men and women posed along deck rails and views of ships navigating canal locks and docking areas. Additional images depict cranes drawbridges canal cuts and small boats in the water along with dock workers and uniformed personnel visible among travelers. Architectural and infrastructural views include colonial-style buildings and mechanical equipment associated with canal operation concluding with a monument identified as that of Vasco Núñez de Balboa in Panama City. The Jamaica sequence includes landscape views of hillsides and gardens along with images of Black Jamaican residents posed in village settings. One photograph bears the caption "Kingston Jamaica 10 -- S.S. 'Reliance' West Indies Cruise" showing children and adults gathered along a dirt road lined with wooden and metal-roofed structures. Other images show groups assembled beneath trees and within rural surroundings. Produced during a period when the Panama Canal served as a major conduit for global shipping under U.S. administration and Caribbean travel formed part of organized cruise itineraries the album reflects established routes of interwar tourism. The juxtaposition of canal engineering and Jamaican village scenes situates the photographs within broader patterns of travel that linked industrial infrastructure with colonial landscapes. Minor water rippling to pages and photographs; images remain clear; overall very good. A coherent travel album documenting canal operations and Caribbean life in the early twentieth century. unknown
1836réf. 175381836. This pamphlet is a return to an Address of the House of Commons from March 25 1836 whereby the Agent of Jamaica William Burge protests against the unilateral abolition of slavery in the British Empire. Ordered to be printed by the House of Commons in London April 1836. 13 pages. 13" x 8.25" inches. Included within is a copy of three letters from the Agent to Lord Glenelg the British colonial secretary as well Burge's protest to Glenelg. Burge states: He is desirous that His Majesty's Government should understand that this Protest is made not as the performance of a formal act of official duty but from his conviction that the proposed legislation for Jamaica is a direct violation of the constitutional rights of that Colony rights coeval with its establishment and which have hitherto been respected." The Agent was a colonial official who was the official representative of a British colony who was based in London and acted as lobbyists and trade negotiators for the affairs of the colony. While Burge had at other times claimed to "hate" slavery he employs the British analogue of the "states rights'" argument that many moderate politicians in the United States used to signal personal distaste for slavery but to nonetheless protect the institution's existence on the basis of constitutionality. When the institution of slavery died out in the British Empire after 1836 the abolitionist movement in the US gained tremendous momentum despite the protests of our own William Burge's. This piece is overall in very good condition. unknown
