[Archive] Large Collection of 18th and 19th century Spanish Periodicals: Art, Politics, Science, Fashion, Women, Literature.

1787-1897. Fair to very good or better. Item #46438

Spanning 110 years, 64 different titles, nearly 2000 issues, and tens of thousands of pages, with numerous illustrations, both black and white and colored. A few are more popular titles, but most are quite uncommon, rarely for sale, found only at a few institutions, a number only at the Duque de T' Serclaes periodical collection at the Univ. Connecticut. Many of the Cadiz publications remarkably have only scattered holdings. The content is varied, from the first Spanish periodical edited by a woman, to a description of the massive defeat of the Spanish at the Battle of Trafalgar just after it occurred, to periodicals aimed at women, illustrated with color fashion plates, including a very rare set of periodicals from a philanthropic organization whose goal was to educate the people free of charge,to satire, to politics such as the transfer of the Cortes to Madrid, and so on. Detailed list upon request.
