Description
1927 Original Comparative Edition – Constitution of the United Mexican States of 1917 Compared with the Constitution of 1857 – American Chamber of Commerce, Mexico City Offered here is an artifact of extreme historical rarity and institutional significance. This original 1927 edition, printed in Mexico City by the American Book & Printing Co. for The American Chamber of Commerce of Mexico, provides a complete side-by-side translation and comparison of the Mexican Constitution of 1917 and the Constitution of 1857, compiled and translated by H. N. Branch, LL.B., with an introductory statement by Dr. L. S. Rowe, Director General of the Pan American Union. The Constitution of 1917 marked a revolutionary break from the liberal ideals of 1857, embedding protections for labor, land reform, secular education, and Mexican national sovereignty. This publication captures that historical shift in real time, intended to help English-speaking businessmen and government officials understand the radical structural and legal changes shaping modern Mexico. This is the only known copy for sale worldwide. We could not locate another example in any marketplace, archive, or library catalogue. This edition predates ISBNs, mass digitization, and modern reprints. The binding is fragile, with the original wraps detached but present. The text block is fully intact and legible, offering an irreplaceable view into the legal foundations of postrevolutionary Mexico. It belongs in a law library, a diplomatic archive, a Latin American studies collection, or the hands of a collector who understands what it is. Pieces like this do not circulate. They vanish into institutions or permanent private holdings, and when they’re gone, they’re gone for good. If you’re reading this, you’re likely holding the only opportunity you will ever have to own this piece.

It's a very old kit and I've built one before so there were no surprises . As described. The service was excellent . I needed two so I bought from two different sellers. This one is here and being built. The other hasn't shipped yet. Outstanding service.
This item was received damage free and materially confirmed to the advertised condition. The shipping was a bit pricey but overall was worth the cost in acquisition of the product.
Excellent seller very polite and easy to communicate with item was very well packed went a long way to arrive to Australia safe and sound.A++++++++++
