Footnotes

French artist Eduardo Laplante (1818-1860) moved to Cuba c.1848 where he set up his lithography studio. This studio produced prints after paintings of rural and urban life throughout the Caribbean, providing a fascinating and detailed insight into life in the region during this period.

'Puerto Principe: Vista G'ral Tomada Desde El Cristo's' forms part of Laplante's series 'Isla de Cuba Pintoresca' after paintings by Leonardo Barañano. Here the viewer is situated on a hill over looking the city with the cemetery below and the San Pedro river snaking its way through the city in the distance. Interestingly, Laplante has shown himself in the foreground sketching and contemplating another view with two companions.
