1856rif. 53452New York: Nathaniel Currier 1856. Trying to Grab Cuba A scarce political cartoon regarding the controversial Ostend Manifesto the initially-secret attempt by the United States to purchase Spanish-controlled Cuba. Earlier President Franklin Pierce had instructed Pierre Soulé upon his appointment as minister to Spain in April 1853 to negotiate to buy Cuba. Three American foreign ministers serving in Europe - James Buchanan John Y. Mason and Soulé - met secretly at Ostend Belgium in late 1854 to draft a plan to either buy Cuba from Spain or force Spain to give up Cuba by inciting a Cuban revolution. The plan met with overwhelming opposition once it was made public in America. In the present political cartoon Buchanan is attacked for his role in the Ostend controversy. He is surrounded by four armed ruffians seeking to rob him of his coat hat watch and money a particularly sharp turn-about on the American minister to Great Britain. The muggers' demands include quotations from the manifesto which is pasted to the fence at right. Buchanan calls out: "Why! Why! This is rank robbery! Help! Help! All honest men!" The fallout from the Ostend controversy was widespread. President Pierce's Democratic Party split asunder after he refused to continue any discussions of the plan or any other expansionist ideas; Soulé understandably resigned; and the international community saw it as a threat to Spanish sovereignty in the region. Oddly enough James Buchanan was not too hurt by the controversy; he was easily elected president in 1856 and still harbored hope for Cuban annexation. He was smart enough however to table the Cuba question for the foreseeable future after meeting with both popular opposition and increasingly bitter sectional conflict the latter only spurred on by incidents such as the Ostend controversy. Broadside 10 x 13 inches. Foxed bottom right corner chipped. Lower margin trimmed costing the title. Good only. Framed under glass. CURRIER & IVES: CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ 5021.

1930Milano, 1930, 8vo stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 1051/1056 con 4 illustrazioni fotografiche. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

1905rif. BK0085Havana Cuba: Carlos Gómez 1905. Cabinet photograph measuring 4 x 5 ½ inches on photographer's mount measuring 4 ½ x 6 ½ inches with imprint "Carlos Gómez / Fotógrafo / Neptuno 149 / Habana. Image somewhat faded with scattered surface wear and an area of loss at upper right; mount worn at edges good overall. A studio portrait of a young woman posed beside a wicker rocking chair wearing a light-colored dress with high collar and puffed sleeves and looking directly toward the camera. The photograph is notable in the context of Afro-Cuban portraiture around the turn of the twentieth century a period when Havana supported a large commercial photographic trade serving an increasingly broad urban clientele. The sitter is unidentified and no inscription survives to provide further biographical information. Carlos Gómez Guardiola was operating a photographic studio at 149 Neptuno by 1902 when a contemporary Havana newspaper noted that he had already established a reputation despite having been in business only a short time. Gómez's work appears in Juaco López Ãlvarez's Fotografía de Asturianos en américa with an identical "Carlos Gómez / Fotógrafo / Neptuno 149 / Habana" imprint; Ãlvarez dates it to about 1905 and we date the present portrait accordingly. 1 Juaco López Ãlvarez Ed.
