1822Best.-Nr. 3190Havana: January 5 1822. Good. Broadside 11.5 x 8 inches. Foxed faint signs of folding a few small wormholes not affecting text. An apparently unrecorded broadside order from the captain general of Cuba Nicolas Mahy directing all able-bodied men under the age of fifty to join up with their local militias in order to keep the peace. The local militias are directed to go out on nightly forays "en nùmero capaz de evitar las incursiones de los salteadores por los caminos y la desercion que pueda acontecer de los negros de los ingenios cafetales y demas haciendas." Additionally all men between the ages of fifty and seventy are told to report to “las casas mas fuertes de los pueblos" to form a garrison that can protect women children and the elderly in case of insurrection. By the formation of these militias and the establishment of "el uso de los pasaportes" it was hoped to identify and arrest "los vagos y mal entretenidos." All mayors within ten days of receipt of this regulation were to report the number of men they had enlisted along with their particulars. In the early 1820s much of Spanish colonial America was gripped by revolution and with these orders the Cuban government likely hoped to avoid similar unrest on the island. Several independence groups had been formed in Cuba as of the promulgation of this decree the largest of which was the Soles y Rayos de Bolívar established in 1821. Signed in print by Mahy; not in OCLC. January 5 unknown books

1903Best.-Nr. 6457V.p. 1903. 36 postcards all completed in manuscript generally very good or better with some wear and rounded corners. A fascinating assemblage of cards written by Pre-Castro intellectuals to a Maria de Serra though a few are written to other women. It is difficult to pin down de Serra though we do know she was highly educated and very well-known and connected. It makes sense to us that she is perhaps the Maria de Serra mentioned by William Wells Brown in his important work The Rising Son or the Antecedents and advancement of the Colored Race 1874. On pg 260 Brown writes: "The free blacks in Cuba form an important element in her population and these people are found in all the professions and trades. .one of the best young ladies' academies at present existing at Havana is personally conducted by an accomplished negro woman Maria de Serra to whom many a lady of high rank owes her social and intellectual accomplishments." Further research may be fruitful in retrieving more information on this Maria de Serra. It goes without saying that the sentiments and signatures are the most appealing part of this collection. Many of the cards appear to contain original verse and all are quite legible and well preserved. Equally as lovely are the cards themselves many being of exceptional beauty as they were all chosen by artists and intellectuals. All in all a remarkable set worthy of further research. The correspondents are as follows: Diego Vicente Tejera; one of the most famous turn-of-the-century Cuban poets but also known as a short story writer orator and political activists. Nestor Cargonell; famous poet and writer. His son went on to become a Hollywood star. Conde Kostia pseudonym of Aniceto Valdivia; writer journalist poet critic lecturer dramatist founder of newspapers and Cuban diplomat.
