ANTIQUARIAN UNITED STATES AND MEXICO STEAMSHIP HISTORICAL VOLUME, Carlos Butterfield, United States and Mexican Mail Steamship Line, and Statistics of Mexico, New York: J. A. H. Hasbrouck & Co., 1860, with two-page map, embossed and gilt-stamped leather presentation binding from Carlos to his with Mary Allen Butterfield, January 1st, 1860. Together with Strickland, The Queens of England: A Series of Portraits..., 1852 (erroneously printed as MDCCLII), in a similar binding to the first volume and with Mrs. Butterfield's initials on the front cover. Two volumes total.
Catalogue Note: Carlos Butterfield was an early advocate of the creation of a regular steamship and mail service between the United States (either New Orleans or Mobile) and the various major Mexican ports in the Gulf of Mexico. Butterfield published the present volume to promote his project. The January 29, 1863 issue of The New York Times reported, "Gen. Carlos Butterfield, who now resides in New-York, and was for many years in Mexico and conspicuous in the military history of that Republic, under the rule of Santa Anna, has just received from the Government of Venezuela his commission as Brigadier-General in the army of that Republic, as an acknowledgment of the important services he has rendered on many occasions to the Venezuelan Government."
Very good condition. The interiors are tight and primarily clean with some scattered light foxing and some toned pages, minor wear to the bindings.
