Quarto-size proclamation, 21 x 16 cm, printed on front page only, of four. Signed by paraph by the Minister of the "Hacienda" or Treasury, Ignacio Triguerros. Very early poclamation which mentions the frontier towns of Taos, in the department of New Mexico, and el Paso del Norte, in the department then of Chihuahua. Having been closed to trade the year previous, 1843, this proclamation opens up these towns to commercial trade, liable for the established duties: "los generos, frutos y efectos que se introduzcan. quedan sujetos para el pago de derechos al arancel general." This is on the eve of the Mexican-American War in which both these places will be lost to Mexico. OCLC shows no specific mention of Taos or Paso del Norte in official Mexican documents before this date. Very scarce: 4 holdings on OCLC: no appearance at auction. Fine copy.
