27 chromolithograph views and gold lithographed pictorial title page with two folded maps of Cuba and plan of Havana. Some views with Spanish and English title. The views include Havana and other areas of Cuba, general city views, historic sites, landmarks, street scenes of daily life and folk customs in rural villages, and urban views including people in period dress. Bound in red leather covers ornamented in gold, with title embossed on the front cover in gilt. Oilprinting Storch & Kramer for B. May y Ca., One of two pirated editions printed in Germany in the 1850's, views based on the work of French-born painter Pierre Toussaint Frederic Mialhe, who lived in Cuba from 1838-54. Mialhe was employed by the printing firm Real Sociedad Patriotica to compile a pictorial record of the island, in his Viaje Pintoresco al Rededor de la Isla de Cuba (Havana, 1847-1848). Date estimated. The two maps were also published separately, see our 5444.000 and 5445.000.
