Sancti Spiritus, 1838. Good plus.. Broadside, measuring 12.5 x 17.5 inches. Previously folded. Light wear to edges and along old fold lines, with a few small chips at edges. Moderate toning and soiling. An unrecorded broadside that prints statistics relating to agricultural production for the region of Sancti Spiritus in central Cuba during the late 1830s. For each municipality, the broadside prints the number of property owners; ranches; land-grant farms; slaves; white employees; animals, including mules, donkeys, cows, and sheep; distances to transport and shipping hubs; and several other figures. In the bottom third of the broadside are printed the census figures from 1836, with the population totaling just over 40,000 people, and split into Black and white groups. Rather pointedly, the figures for the white population are divided by gender while the figures for the Black population are divided by status, free or slave. A very interesting statistical snapshot of a smaller, rural region in colonial Cuba in 1838. Not in OCLC.
