Tax included
This unique miniature work by Luis Gutierrez de la Monja from the end of the 19th century includes a verbatim miniature copy of Emilio Castelar's dedication to Telesforo Garcia (Porfiriato, Mexico) in his 'History of the discovery of America' (1892). Collected in two columns 3cm wide x 15,5cm hight each column, the almost 5,000 words and 23,000 characters of Emilio Castelar's Letter are enclosed. Not only is the content of extraordinary beauty, but also the meticulous work to frame the writing in a door with columns that recalls the Mudejar style.
The only known work of Luis Gutierrez de la Monja, documented in 1893, consists of a reproduction of the famous legend of the distinguished Zorrilla, entitled Margarita la Tornera, which was enclosed in a hazelnut of regular dimensions. Margarita la Tornera, which consists of two thousand eight hundred and sixteen verses, that is, approximately the volume of a dramatic work in three acts, was written by Luis Gutierrez de la Monja on a strip of paper one meter long by 15 milimeters wide. The remarkable peculiarity of this work is mentioned in that it was written so clearly that many myopic people could read it without the aid of any glasses, although not so for people who do not need glasses.
Telesforo Garcia (Cantabria, 1844-Mexico City, 1918) was a Spanish exile who arrived in Mexico in the 1860s and achieved high prestige among the Spanish colony and the intellectuals of the Porfiriato. His friendship and correspondence with the Spanish politician Emilio Castelar stands out. The relationship that Telesforo Garcia had with Emilio Castelar, already studied by Gabriel Rosenzweig through the epistolary exchange they maintained during 1888 and 1899, is essential to understand other aspects of the intellectual work of the mountaineer (Garcia, 2003). The friendship that Castelar and García established unfolded in mutual praise, among them, Castelar would dedicate his History of the discovery of America (1892) to García.
