About this Item
Broadsheet, 17 x 12 1/2 inches. Previously folded, with tears along fold lines repaired by tape on the verso. A few minor chips and small tears at edges. Two other small holes not affecting text. Lightly tanned and dampstained. Good. A broadside prospectus for the Bolivian periodical, EL IRIS DE LA PAZ, which was published from 1829 to 1839. A united, independent Bolivian state was officially established only four years previously in 1825, and this statement of intent strikes a particularly nationalist tone. In describing his purpose, the author of the proposal writes: "A este papel se ha querido dar le nombre de IRIS DE LA PAZ, para que désde su titulo prevenga á los lectores de que el objecto primario de su direccion es tratar los medios de conservar la armonia social, fomentar el respeto á las leyes, sostenar con sanos principios la necesidad de un sólido réjimen para la nacion, y cuanto conduzca á cimentar entre nosotros la paz esterior, y la tranquilidad interior del Estado." An interesting and rare document of early South American independence. Not on OCLC. Seller Inventory # WRCAM51530
