This is a 1673 Broadside entitled Vrbis, & Orbis that was printed in Guatemala Unfortunately the pictures to small to make out any detail and they want $12,000 for the original. Our image above shows clearly that we have in hand an intact bifolium, i.e., two copies, as printed, on an uncut half sheet—one on the recto (at right, in the image, showing through the paper), and one on the verso (at the left)—the two never having been separated. Guatemala was the fourth Latin American city to have a printing press (after Mexico, Lima, and Puebla de los Angeles); the press was brought at the instigation of the bishop of Guatemala, Payo Enríquez de Ribera, who wished to have a work of his own published. In reply to the bishop's appeal for a printer, José Pineda Ibarra arrived at Antigua in 1660. He had worked as an assistant to several printers in Mexico, but according to Medina did not have his own press; when Payo de Ribera's representative found him, he had moved to Puebla, but was apparently not doing well there. (Medina does not list him as a printer in Puebla—presumably he was again working for others.) The bishop apparently paid for the press that was taken to Guatemala, and Pineda Ibarra later purchased it from him. Torre Revello (quoted in Furlong) remarks that despite the dearth of materials, Pineda Ibarra managed to print exceedingly well: "Ningún tipógrafo de los que le sucedieron, durante el periodo colonial, logró superar la pulchritud y elegancia de sus trabajos." This example shows not only several sizes of type, but a woodcut of a papal tiara, at the top of the edict, flanked by typographical ornaments; a line of typographical ornament also appears on either side of the date of the edict, near the bottom of the page. The various religious orders in Guatemala had promised to make it worth the while of a printer to come, by giving him commissions. Judging from the list of over 30 works Pineda Ibarra printed before 1673—eulogies, sermons, constitutions, regulations, descriptions of religious festivities—the orders fulfilled their promise; his major productions, however, were Bishop de Ribera's Explicatio apologetica nonnullarum propositionum . . . , 1663, and Diego Saenz Ovecuri's La Thomasiada, 1667. Also a bookseller and binder, Pineda Ibarra died in 1679. He was succeeded in 1681 by his son, Antonio de Pineda Ibarra, under whom the press operated until 1721. The text in hand, a papal edict of 23 July 1672, changes the office for St. Peter Nolasco used by Mercedarians from semiduplex to duplex, at the request of the Queen of France. The Orden Real de Nuestra Señora de la Merced, Redemción de Cautivos, was already established in Guatemala (cf. Medina, Guatemala, 38), and probably paid Pineda Ibarra to print this work. • Not in Medina, Guatemala; on the printer, see: Medina's introduction, pp. xviii–xx. Not in Valenzuela, Imprenta en Guatemala; O'Ryan, Bib. Guatemalteca; NUC; BMC. See, however, Oswald, p. 539; Furlong, Orígenes, p. 91; and Woodbridge and Thompson, Printing in Colonial Spanish America, pp. 81–84. Cool info! Thanks PoD!

Thanks for the link James: and yes the Bellarmine jugs are cool also...

Back to toppic...: When I see pictures of the genuine old bottles they appear black, but the replica's you guys pointed out to me are green and more transparant... So have the old ones turned black and less transparant after all these years..?

Hi Cripps, i had no qlue that you where into this and are translateting these documents my question was just a question without the meaning of having you to do or make anything. But now you mention it... I would like to greate (print) a library of copied and made(fake) Spanish documents to illustrate the audience what Spanish colonial live was about in let's say 1720... So if you don't mind i would like to ask you what it is you do and if you have anything allready digital that I could/may print and use...? I am especialy interrested in Spanish stuff related to New Spain (Guatemala, Mexico Honduras etc.)...

Great!! Thanks Cripps. two more questions now: 1: do have the text in Spanish also?? 2: do you have maybe a picture of the real document. I would like to have one such a letter within my kitt...

If you can come up with anything, pleas let me know...

unfortunatly I have no name only this info:

I found some handblown union bottles on ebay, they cost each something like 24 dollars or something. My question is: Is this a good prise (fro the buyer) or are there sheaper ones somewhere??

I know of one Black guy that piratered under the Spanish collors to hunt down english and other pirates. He had it's base at Guatemala. this makes me wander: Does any of you know about Spanish Letters of marque???

I like your collection Iron Jon. Or shuld I say Tin Jon... I belief this style of tinwares is what they call Country French...

More on buckles: My link

Can't help but ask what your planning to do with them and the info you find? I am alway courios about stuff considering the Spanish. I have been thinking of buying a cannon one time to have a big object in my display to draws attention. and if theres a way to make it more Spanish than buying someting off the shelf, (what a mighty big shelf that must be ) then that would be even better... You might also want to take a look at my gallery, there are some pictures of cannons and canon barrels in there altough not much..
