Though chiefly caricatures, they represent such incidents and +scenes as every one, with both eyes open, sees, who visits Cuba; and +being sketched upon the spot, with all the crispy freshness of a first +impression, they possess a sort of photographic value, that, in spite of +their grotesqueness, may prove more lasting than the entertainment which +their humor offers. + +NEW YORK, April, 1865. + + + + +THE START.--THE STEAMSHIP COLUMBIA. + +AT SEA. + +[Illustration: First day out.--The wind freshens up a trifle as we get +outside Sandy Hook; but our artist says he is'nt sea-sick, for he never +felt better in his life.] + + + + +IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. + +[Illustration: A "Booby"--as seen _from_ the ship's deck.] + +[Illustration: A Booby--as seen _on_ the ship's deck.] + + + + +ARRIVAL AT HAVANA. + +[Illustration: A side elevation of the colored gentleman who carried our +luggage from the small boat to the Custom House.] + + + + +STREETS OF HAVANA.--CALLE MERCADERES. + +[Illustration: The first volante driver that our artist saw in Havana.] + + + + +VIEW FROM OUR WINDOW AT THE HOTEL ALMY. + +[Illustration: The old Convent and Bell Tower of the Church of San +Francisco,--now used as a Custom House.] + + + + +STREETS OF HAVANA.--CALLE TENIENTE RE. + +[Illustration: A Cuban Cart and its Motive Power.--Ye patient Donkey.] + + + + +AT THE CAFE LOUVRE. + +[Illustration: Manners and Customs of a Cuban with a Cold in his Head.] + + + + +THE [WICKED] FLEA OF HAVANA. + +[Illustration: PART I.--The beast in a torpid condition.] + +[Illustration: PART II.--When he "smells the blood of an Englishmun."] + + + + +THE NATIONAL VEHICLE OF HAVANA. + +[Illustration: Manner and Custom of Harnessing ye Animiles to ye Cuban +Volante.] + + + + +A COCK-FIGHT IN CUBA. + +[Illustration: I.--Chanticleer as he goes in.] + +[Illustration: II.--Chanticleer considerably "played out."] + + + + +STREETS OF HAVANA.--CALLE LAMPARILLA. + +[Illustration: The cool and airy style in which they dress the rising +colored generation of Havana.] + + + + +THE CUBAN TOOTH-PICK. + +[Illustration: Two ways of carrying it--behind the ear, and in the +back-hair.] + + + + +THE CAPTAIN GENERAL'S QUINTA, + +[Illustration: View of the Canal and Cocoa Tree; looking East from the +Grotto.] + + + + +THE DOMESTIC INSECTS OF HAVANA. + +[Illustration: Agitation of the Better-Half of Our Artist, upon entering +her chamber and making their acquaintance.] + + + + +A LITTLE EPISODE IN THE CALLE BARRATILLO. + +[Illustration: A slight difference arises between the housekeeper's cat +and the butcher's dog, who has just come out in his summer costume.] + + + + +STREETS OF HAVANA.--CALLE COMPOSTELLA, + +[Illustration: The Free Negro.--An every-day scene,-when the weather is +fine.] + + + + +AN INTERIOR IN HAVANA. + +[Illustration: Kitchen, chief-cook and bottle-washer in the +establishment of Mrs. Franke, out on the "Cerro."] + + + + +HEADS OF THE PEOPLE. + +[Illustration: A portrait of the young lady, whose family (after +considerable urging) consents to take in our washing.] + + + + +PRIMITIVE HABITS OF THE NATIVES. + +[Illustration: Washing in Havana.--$4.00 a dozen in gold.] + + + + +WASHING IN HAVANA.. + +[Illustration: I.--My pantaloons as they went _in_.] + +[Illustration: II.--My pantaloons as they came _out_.] + + + + +CARNIVAL IN HAVANA. + +[Illustration: A Masquerade at the Tacon Theatre.--Types of Costume, +with a glimpse of the "Cuban Dance" in the background.] + + + + +A MASK BALL AT THE TACON. + +[Illustration: Our artist mixes in the giddy dance, and falls +desperately in love with this sweet creature---- but] + + + + +LATER IN THE EVENING, + +[Illustration: When the "sweet creature" unmasks, our Artist suddenly +recovers from his fit of admiration.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
