About very good.
Description
Monterrey: June 4, 1836. About very good.. Printed broadside, approximately 8.5 x 8.5 inches. Trimmed at lower edge, with no loss of text. Shallow, one-inch section torn away at lower edge, also not affecting text. Contemporary manuscript rubric. Light tanning and creasing. A scarce broadside dated June 4, 1836, in which the Governor of Nuevo Leon, Juan Nepomuceno de la Garza, announces the capture of Santa Anna by the Texans to his citizens. "Though [the first] announcement of Santa Anna's capture was made on May 19, it was known to the Mexican government at least as early as May 15, on which day Tornel wrote to Filosola acknowledging the latter's despatch of April 25 giving the news" -- Streeter. Thus, word of developments first traveled to Mexico City and then emanated to the states, with the result that this broadside did not announce the fate of Santa Anna until over a month after the fact, even though the state practically borders Texas. In his terse announcement, Nepomuceno states that Santa Anna had been captured "near Harrisburg," a former town between Houston and San Jacinto, in what should have been the "crowning glory" of the Mexican campaign against Texas: "Nuevoleonenses: Una corta seccion de nuestro ejército que mandaba en persona el benemerito de la Pátria, el General Presidente D. Antonio Lopez de Santa-Anna, hà sido sorprendida á las immediaciones de Harrisbourg y preso su ilustre Gefe. Una sèrie de triunfos gloriosos orlaba las sienes del soldado mejicano, y Harrisbourg era el ultimo punto que debía coronar tan heroicos esfuerzos; dispúsolo de otra suerte el árbitro de las Naciones. ¿Quien puede enmendar sus obras?" He continues, telling his citizens that fresh sacrifices will be required to achieve the return of Santa Anna and to avoid "abjection and ignominy:" "Conciudadanos: el honor y la justicia á la lid. El Congreso y el Gobierno general toman ya medidas enérgicas y fuertes para reparar este pequeño golpe y conseguir la libertad del benemérito de la Pátria Santa Anna: un furor santo enciende los pechos de los mejicanos: vosotros lo sois, y os habeis sacrificando en esta guerra sagrada: nuevos sacrificios ecsige la Pátria. ¿Y quien puede economizar los intereses ni la vida misma por obtener en cambio la abyeccion y la ignominia?" This proclamation is not a reprint or a bando of the federal announcements of Santa Anna's capture, but an original message from the Governor of Nuevo Leon to its inhabitants, printed and issued in Monterrey on June 4, 1836. We locate only two other copies of this broadside, in the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library and at Yale. Streeter lists examples of state announcements of the capture known to him, but the present broadside is not among them. Streeter Texas 884 (ref).

Description
[Paris]: Imp. de Lemercier, [1840?]. First Edition. Original cloth backed publisher's burgundy patterned, gilt stamped cloth. This copy has the original binder's ticket from Barth in Tours.. Very good; title-page somewhat spotted; some modest scuffing to the binding; hinges strained; the plates have some scattered, modest spotting.. Oblong folio. Tinted lithographic title and 20 tinted lithographic plates. A facility for juvenile delinquents that was founded by Frederic Demetz in 1840. It was revolutionary at the time because it was the first segregated penal institution for juveniles. The goal was to rehabilitate juvenile criminals by promoting manual labor, education, religious, and moral instruction. The book offered here illustrates daily life at Mettray. The camp fell into disarray and overcrowding in the late 19th century and became infamous for its cruel and harsh treatment. Jean Genet spent time at Mettray as a youth and wrote about his experiences. The lithography is by Sauve, Tirpenne and Faivre after A Thierry. See J. Bourquin et E. Pierre, 'Une visite à Mettray par l'image: l'album de gravures de 1844,' in "Sociétés & Représentations", 2004/2 (no. 18), p. 207-216.

About very good.
Description
Wichita Falls, Tx: Heydrick Mapping Company, 1976. About very good.. Blue line map, 45.5 x 42 inches. On paper. Folded. Toning across top and bottom portions, light edge wear. A late but nonetheless instructive oil map of Knox County, Texas, printed by the Heydrick Mapping Company which was known for its oil maps. Indeed, their slogan on the map indicates, "Oil men have used Heydrick maps since 1870." The legend shows various kinds of oil and gas wells -- producing, dry, drilled, etc. Most of the oil activity is along the southern part of the county, with a deep concentration of wells and oil companies noted across the D.G. Burnett lands. Dozens of oil companies are represented here, many of which would be gone when the Texas oil boom busted in the early-1980s, though production in Knox County was relatively steady through the lean times. Knox County is located between the DFW metroplex and Lubbock, and oil was discovered there in 1945. "Oil was discovered in Knox County in 1945. By 1946 the county's first successful oil well had been spudded on the Beavers Ranch, north of Benjamin; in subsequent years other wells were drilled in the southern part of the county. In 1948 oil production was only thirty-seven barrels, but in 1956 it reached 978,715, and in 1960, almost 2,415,000. County oil wells produced 2,065,000 barrels in 1965, 771,089 barrels in 1974, and 1,421,964 barrels in 1982. Production totaled about 888,000 barrels in 1990, and by January 1, 1991, almost 55,881,000 barrels had been taken from Knox County lands since discovery in 1945" - Handbook of Texas online. All Heydrick maps of Texas are scarce, regardless of when they were produced, with the vast majority being located in only one or two copies. OCLC shows one copy each of editions printed in 1930 and 1957, but not this 1976 version.
