Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Memoir On The Island Of Navassa, West Indies (1866) is a historical account written by Eugene Gaussoin about his experiences on the island of Navassa in the late 19th century. Navassa is a small island located in the Caribbean Sea, which was once a thriving center for the production of guano,… a valuable fertilizer. Gaussoin was sent to Navassa as a representative of a company that owned the rights to mine guano on the island. In his memoir, he describes the harsh living conditions on Navassa, including the extreme heat, lack of fresh water, and the dangerous work of mining guano. He also provides a detailed account of the island's history, including its discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1494 and its subsequent colonization by the French and Spanish.The memoir also touches on the issue of slavery, which was still prevalent on the island during Gaussoin's time there. He describes the brutal treatment of the enslaved workers who were forced to work in the guano mines, and the efforts of abolitionists to bring an end to the practice.Overall, Memoir On The Island Of Navassa, West Indies (1866) is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known island and its history. It provides valuable insights into the harsh realities of life on Navassa, as well as the broader historical context of the Caribbean in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

In den WarenkorbFirst edition. Tinted lithographic title; one typeset leaf of text (Navassa; Explanation of the Plates); six colored lithographic plates (Topographical Map; Low Beach; The Harbor; Lulutown and Old Diggings; Lulu Bay; Diggings). First edition. In the publisher's brown half cloth, embossed title on both boards, gilt on the front c…over. [1] leaf tinted lithographic title, [2] pp., [6] leaves of colored lithographic plates. Folio (44 × 54 cm). Rare illustrated album documenting the exploitation of Navassa Island under the Guano Islands Act, with detailed visual evidence of nineteenth-century phosphate extraction, U.S. agricultural and imperial expansion, and the Black labor force on which it depended. Large-format illustrated album, a technical-promotional publication produced in support of guano and phosphate extraction on Navassa Island, a small Caribbean island located some thirty miles southwest of the Haitian coast. Comprising a geological and topographical text with a suite of six tinted lithographic plates executed by E. Sachse & Co., Baltimore, the work presents the island explicitly as the property of the Navassa Phosphate Company of New York. It combines the functions of scientific report and corporate prospectus, documenting the island's geological value, demonstrating the feasibility and efficiency of phosphate extraction, reassuring investors and managers at a distance, and legitimizing its commercial occupation under U.S. auspices. By the mid-nineteenth century, guano had become a valued fertilizer in the United States, as agricultural expansion and soil exhaustion drove demand for concentrated nutrients. Rising prices and fears of depletion led to the Guano Islands Act of 1856, which enabled U.S. citizens to claim unoccupied guano- and phosphate-bearing islands for the United States. As one of numerous small islands brought under U.S. administration through this framework, Navassa was claimed in 1857. Operating under this legal framework, the Navassa Phosphate Company undertook the exploitation of the island, accompanied by a series of publications intended to inform and attract investors. The present lavishly produced album is the most extensive and visually elaborate of these efforts. Its short text combines geographical description, geological explanation, and operational commentary, emphasizing both the quality of Navassa's guano in comparison with the widely used Peruvian guano and the exceptional scale of the deposits, while stressing favorable working conditions, a healthy climate with minimal sickness, and secure anchorage and shipping, presenting the island as well suited to sustained industrial activity. The lithographic plates, based on Gaussoin's sketches, form an integral part of the album's argument. A detailed topographical map and sectional profile present the island as a measured and manageable space, intended to facilitate the efficient control of distant operations. Coastal and harbor views depict calm seas and orderly anchorage, highlighting a well-developed industrial infrastructure-rail tracks, wharves, hoisting devices, workshops, storage buildings, and temporary shelters. Black workers are shown at different stages of extraction and shipment, digging phosphatic material-under the supervision of white guards-moving it on railway carts, and loading boats. Taken together, the images present Navassa as a fully organized working site, offering direct visual evidence of the conditions under which production was carried out. Alongside its industrial focus, the album also records elements of the island's natural environment. Vegetation appears selectively, with palms and scrub framing the worked landscape, while iguanas in the foreground of the digging scenes and seabirds in flight or along the cliffs recur across the plates. These animals directly reflect the text's explanation of the deposits as formed from the accumulated dung and bones of seabirds and large lizards over long periods. The album was produced by E. Tinted lithographic title; one typeset leaf of text (Navassa; Explanation of the Plates); six colored lithographic plates (Topographical Map; Low Beach; The Harbor; Lulutown and Old Diggings; Lulu Bay; Diggings).
