NOVARRO RAMON: (1899-1968) Mexican Actor. Vintage signed and inscribed sepia 8 x 10 photograph of Novarro in a head and shoulders pose. Photograph by Clarence Sinclair Bull and bearing his blindstamp to the lower right corner. Signed by the actor in bold black fountain pen ink across a light area of the image. Some very minor, light mottling to the centre of the image. Neatly and lightly mounted to a folio page removed from an album. VG The present photograph was originally included (along with thirty-six others) in a folio calf leather bound presentation album which was one of just fourteen (as far as our research indicates) that were presented to the individual members of a delegation of British journalists who visited America for a two month tour in 1928. Funded by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the objective of the tour was to improve Anglo-American relations and the presentation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences at the Roosevelt Hotel on 7th November 1928 (just over six months before the first Oscar was presented at the very same venue) was a major highlight of the tour. The album from which the present photograph was extracted had been presented to F. Lawrence Johnson, a journalist associated with the Northeastern Daily Gazette, and the photograph bears an inscription to him.

Nota di possesso manoscritta al frontespizio, altra nota cassata e timbro di appartenenza a c. [croce]3r. Edizione originale di quest'opera - dedicata a Sisto V - che delinea storia e percorsi dell'ordine e della spiritualità francescana, redatta dal ministro generale dell'ordine, Francesco Gonzaga. Si tratta di uno dei testi fondamentali per l'ordine e degno di nota è il fatto che sia tra i primissimi, se non il primo in assoluto, a tracciare con dovizia di dettagli le vicende degli insediamenti in America centrale e meridionale, in specifico in Brasile, Nicaragua, Perù, Messico, Cile, Guatemala, Saint Thomas e Santo Domingo. La Quarta pars tratta infatti delle Occidentalium Indiarum Provincias e per la compilazione Gonzaga si servì di precise fonti dirette a lui contemporanee come - nel caso di alcuni territori della Nuova Spagna - della Relacion de la descripcion de la provincia del sancto Evangelio di Jerònimo de Mendieta, Pedro Oroz e Francisco Suarez, datata 1585. La mancanza di una carta al fascicolo [croce]4 è comune a molti esemplari e sembra contrassegnare un'emissione differente.
