Title: [Collection of Twelve Manumission Documents Liberating African and Criollo Slaves in Cuba]
Author: [Slavery]: [Cuba]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Description: [Cuba, 1873. Twelve manuscript documents on folio sheets, approximately 8.5 x 12.5 inches, all with official rubber-stamped seal. Small pinholes along left margin, light wear, occasional chipping to edges, some ink bleed and light damp staining. Overall, very good. A collection of documents recording the liberation, or attempted liberation, of numerous men, women, teenagers, and a child from enslavement. The child is but seven years old, while the remaining slaves range from fifteen to fifty-seven years old. The slave trade ended in Cuba around 1867, but the practice of owning slaves remained legal until 1880, and then was abolished completely by Spanish decree in 1886. Cuba was the penultimate country to outlaw slavery in the western hemisphere, beating Brazil to formal abolishment by two years. Even before the official abolition of slavery in Cuba, African or criollo slaves were manumitted by a variety of owners and at various costs, as evidenced here, especially after the practice of importing Chinese indentured servants began. Each of the present documents names the slaveholder and the slave granted "libertad," along with the cost in escudos or pesetas of that liberty. The slaves liberated here are as follows: 1) Luis, criollo, 7 years old, for the sum of 28 pesos 2) Maria Antonia, part criolla, 20 years old, for the sum of 2500 pesetas 3) Catalina, morena de Africa, 41 years old, for c.200 pesetas 4) Lorenzo, moreno criollo, 21 years old, for 2500 pesetas 5) Lucia, morena criolla, 15 years old for 320 pesos or 1600 pesetas 6) Frigidae (?), "negro...de Africae," 56 years old 7) Augusto, criollo, 19 years old, for 1750 pesetas 8) Marta, criolla, 16 years old, for 1621 pesetas 9) Gil, moreno de Africa, 57 years old, for 1500 pesos 10) Carmita, morena criolla, 20 years old, for 1750 pesetas 11) Augustina Prieto, morena criolla, 30 years old, for 1750 pesetas 12) Edwigio, 39, criolla; Lazara, 36, criolla; and Maria Leoncia, 15, criolla, for 2000 pesetas. These Cuban slave manumissions are offered with one 1844 manumission document liberating a slave in Spain, totaling two pages and measuring about 8.5 x 13.5 inches. The document also has three rubber-stamped official seals at the head, noting Isabella II. This document appears to free slave Nicolas, 25 years old, for the sum of 400 pesos, and is signed November 5, 1844.

Title: COSTUMES SUISSES
Author: SWISS COSTUME
Seller: Boston Book Company (United States)
Description: 18. [SWISS COSTUME]. COSTUMES SUISSES. Zurich: Weinig & Comp., n.d. (circa 1850-1880). The title and publisher's information are taken from the cover. A twenty-two panel panorama of tinted lithographs with hand coloring that show Swiss men and women wearing regional dress in landscapes or cottage interiors. 4 3/4 x 3 inches (12 x 8 cm). Embossed cloth covers with title and publisher's information gilt-stamped to upper board. The images are bright and attractive, but the panorama has some old and rather awkward repairs to the last three panels. The final panel has been partially glued to the rear pastedown and has shallow loss at the top-corner; the missing piece has adhered to the facing corner of the preceding panel. Another panel has has a vertical clear-tape repair on the plate near one edge that prevents the panorama from opening flat at that place. As is.
