Additional Details

Second edition of a Spanish history of the Cuban revolutionary struggles of 1868. Most of the photographs depict scenes in Havana and military leadership. This edition was apparently printed in Havana, but has a small printed slip pasted over the imprint, changing it to Madrid by Cárlos Bailly-Bailliere--not recorded in OCLC. None of any edition traced at auction. Palau 101098 (lists only the 1872 Havana edition; OCLC shows an 1870 Havana).
