- Lot Description
Bullock, William.
Six Months' Residence and Travels in Mexico; Containing Remarks on the Present State of New Spain, its Natural Productions, State of Society, Manufactures, Trades, Agriculture and Antiquities.
London: John Murray, 1824. 4o. marquilla, XII + 532 p. Frontispicio plegado, 15 láminas (cuatro coloreadas), una tabla y dos planos plegados: "Ancient Mexico from the Original Map Made by Order of Montezuma for Cortez", 46 x 33 cm. y "A Plan of the City of Mexico", 34 x 37 cm., basado en el mapa realizado por Diego García Conde. Primera edición. Encuadernado en pasta dura, en piel. En estuche. Sabin: 9140. "Primer viajero no español en México desde el Padre Gage, en 1640". William Bullock viajó a México en 1822 donde fue bien recibido por las autoridades mexicanas, quienes lo ayudaron en sus investigaciones. Bullock recibió del gobierno mexicano como regalo la mina de plata "Del Bada" cerca de Temascaltepec. Según S. T. Prideaux "probablemente el más interesante libro relacionado a viajeros en América". Tras su publicación, el libro fue un éxito, agotándose las 1,500 copias originalmente impresas. Una edición posterior se preparó aceleradamente para 1825, sin embargo, carece del detalle y la belleza de la primera. En su momento, el libro no solo enalteció a México como destino obligado para viajeros y exploradores de todo el mundo, sino que también posicionó al país como un punto estratégico para el comercio e inversión.
