[LAPLANTE, Eduardo (1818-1860). Los Ingenios. Colleccion de Vistas de los Principales Ingenios de Azucar de la Isla de Cuba. Havana: Luis Marquier and Laplante, 1857.]

"Beautifully executed plates" of the sugar plantations and factories of Cuba (Reese). Both the artist, Eduardo Laplante, and his publishing partner, Luis Marquier, were French immigrants to Cuba—typical of the artistic community of Havana at this time. The scenes a mixture of bird's-eye views of plantations and factories and scenes are from the factory floors. These detailed images are very rare. The only equally complete set that appears in the auction records of RBH was sold to Reese in 1995. Reese Stamped with a National Character 87; Sabin 17782.

Folio (489 x 317mm). 28 hand-colored lithographed plates, borders and imprints printed in gilt. (Lacking all text and uncolored illustrations; publisher's blind-stamps mostly trimmed from lower margins.) 20th-century half morocco over marbled boards; spine gilt.
