Title: La Victoria de Junin: Canto a Bolivar
Description: Londres, Imprenta española de M. Calero, 1826. Reimpreso a Londres. Three quarter calf over marbled boards. 80 pp. [3] leaves of plates. Illus. with 3 plates. 8vo. Poem to Bolivar's victory on the plains of Juin in Peru, 6 August 1824. José Joaquín de Olmedo (1780-1847), who would later go on to become President of Ecuador, sees the freedom fighters under Bolivar as heirs of the Incas. First published Guayaquil, Ecuador: Imprenta de la Ciudad, por M.I. Murillo, 1825 a year after the battle. The frontispiece portrait and the plate "Venganza y Gloria nos daran los cielos" are both engraved by Ackermann. There was a Paris edition the same year. Quite uncommon as it was published in a 'short run and never put on sale' according to Palau (IX, p. 377). Espinosa Pólit, in his "Poesías completas de..Olmedo," published in 1945, calls it 'very rare' suggesting 'no more than half a dozen copies known' (p. 254), though OCLC 70 years later has now located an additional eight. Auction records show no other copies of this edition at auction and only one of the Paris edition. Palau 201000. A very good or better copy, extremities rubbed, corners slightly bumped, some minor foxing and small stain on the blank area of the portrait, else contents quite clean and about fine.
