MEXICAN BINDING – Apuntamientos sobre la necesidad de promover el cultivo del azucar y otros frutos por medios de providencias que faciliten su extraccion, y hagan necesarios y utiles en los mismos frutos los retornos del comercio exterior. Mexico: D. José María Ramos Palomera, 1822
Bound for Don Agustín Iturbide, Emperor of Mexico. “Iturbide, master-spirit of a successful plot for the liberation of Mexico from Spanish rule, was proclaimed emperor in May, 1822. He abdicated one year later in favor of a republic and was banished. Upon returning in 1824 he was arrested and shot as a traitor” (Terry). The work within suggests that the economic prosperity of Mexico should be based upon sugar and other semi-tropical agricultural products.

Crimson morocco lightly cross-grained, gilt tooled back, sides with gilt-tooled narrow floral border with inner ornamental rectangular frame surrounding a central chamfered chain-like frame, gilt borders inside; doublures displaying a central panel of blue silk bordered with two wide green and red morocco bands, in the front lettered VIVA AGUSTIN PRIMERO, in the back EMPERADOR DE MEXICO, flyleaves of white silk, by Acevedo, with his ticket (chip at head of spine, a few small stains and light toning at edges). Provenance: Don Agustín Iturbide (1783-1824, the Emperor of Mexico; presentation binding) – Roderick Terry (bookplate; his sale part III, AAA/Anderson Galleries, 1935, lot 274) – Cornelius J. Hauck (1893-1967).
