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.

1898ref. 231301898. Spanish-American War stereoview archive circa 1898-1899 documenting how the war was pictured through mass-produced photographic views that followed U.S. mobilization battlefield action occupation and military life across both Cuba and the Philippines. These stereoviews preserves the visual system by which the war was circulated to American audiences showcasing camp organization troop movement burial hospital care naval power and overseas deployment. Particularly notable is the archive's coverage of the Rough Riders the Santiago campaign in Cuba and U.S. presence in Manila and Malate showing how stereoview photography helped normalize the war's expansion from anti-Spanish conflict into a broader American imperial presence. Archive of 21 stereoviews Various publishers. Spanish-American War stereoview archive. Cuba the Philippines and the United States circa 1898-1899. each measuring 3" x 7". The views are drawn from multiple phases and theaters of the war including camp and drill scenes in the United States embarkation and troop arrivals at Tampa battlefield and occupation imagery from Cuba and extensive and some grisly scenes from Manila and surrounding areas in the Philippines. Captions and images show soldiers in formation cavalry drill military reviews naval artillery hospital interiors encampments burial grounds and troops in active position.

One stereoview identifies Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the mobilization phase linking the archive to one of the war's most publicly mythologized units. As a group the stereoviews demonstrate the process by which the Spanish-American War was framed not simply as a short military victory over Spain but as a sustained structure of U.S. troop deployment and occupation extending from Cuba into the Philippines. The Manila and Malate scenes are especially important in this regard since they place American soldiers within the opening phase of the Philippine conflict where U.S. military presence quickly moved beyond liberation rhetoric into imperial control. The archive's mixture of battlefield casualties camp routine naval spectacle and celebratory review scenes shows how stereoscopic publishing converted war into a domestic viewing experience while reinforcing the legitimacy of American expansion abroad. Wear to mounts some toning; overall very good condition.

1860ref. 234291860. Spanish colonial administration in Havana used port health regulation as a mechanism of commercial and maritime control with the Captaincy General directing military customs and sanitary officials through centralized orders. This December 6 1860 manuscript concerns the "Junta local de Sanidad" "víveres averiados" and Dr. Rafael Cortés placing damaged provisions public health authority and port enforcement within the same bureaucratic chain. The phrase "usando de las facultades que me competen" invokes the vested powers of the colonial government confirming that the matter was handled through Spanish imperial authority rather than local civic discretion. Gobierno y Capitanía General de la Isla de Cuba. Secretaría de Gobierno sección de Gobierno. Manuscript order. Havana Cuba: December 6 1860. Single folded manuscript document with printed colonial seal and heading docketed "Habana y Dic. 6 de 1860" and addressed to maritime or port authorities. The text instructs compliance with a petition or order involving the local Board of Health damaged provisions or foodstuffs and Dr. Rafael Cortés with official endorsements and large administrative signatures below. The verso bears docketing and filing marks consistent with bureaucratic circulation. The document belongs directly to Spanish colonial governance in Cuba where the Governor and Captain General exercised civil military and administrative power over the island until the end of Spanish rule in 1898. Its contents connect colonial rule to the management of ports food safety and public health all crucial areas in Havana's nineteenth-century Atlantic economy.

1836ref. 231491836. Diario Constitucional de Santiago de Cuba No. 57 November 1836 just months after the restoration of Spain's liberal Constitution of 1812. This newspaper records the transmission of Spanish constitutional government into eastern Cuba in late 1836 through decrees ministerial correspondence and public political dispute printed for circulation in Santiago de Cuba. Issued weeks after the political upheavals that restored constitutional rule in Spain this number shows how the language of the regency government the suppression and reorganization of state bodies and local declarations of loyalty to Isabel II reached colonial readers through the newspaper press. In a Cuban setting where metropolitan policy was filtered through governors ministries and municipal elites an issue such as this preserves the working connection between imperial administration and provincial print. Diario Constitucional de Santiago de Cuba. No. 57. Santiago de Cuba 27 November 1836. 4 pages. Folio newspaper issue. The masthead reads "DIARIO CONSTITUCIONAL / DE SANTIAGO DE CUBA" with the date line "DOMINGO 27 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 1836." Page 1 opens with "MINISTERIO DE LA GOBERNACION DEL REINO" followed by a circular and a substantial "EXPOSICION A LA REINA GOBERNADORA" leading into a "REAL DECRETO" concerning the suppression of the Consejo Real de España e Indias. Interior pages continue the decree and carry translatedly legible sections including "MISCELANEA" notices on "Las islas turcas libres" and "Noticias sobre Tejas" and a long exchange under "REMITIDOS" dated "Cuba 25 de Noviembre de 1836" addressing militia service volunteers of Isabel II and the political insult attributed to an earlier subscriber. The issue survives as a complete four page folio with dense double column text throughout and no wrappers as issued. Printed in Santiago the issue shows constitutional and monarchist language being adapted for a colonial audience that was expected to follow ministry decrees military loyalty and debates over public honor in the same sheet. Folded as issued with minor edge chipping small losses at corners and margins some toning and closed tears and pinholes; complete and legible. Overall good condition. The juxtaposition of metropolitan government text Caribbean and Atlantic news and the local controversy printed in "Remitidos" gives the number a documentary range broader than a routine official gazette placing state policy beside the contested language of provincial political life. unknown books
