Frederic Mialhe
14.04.1810 - 1881
Frederic Mialhe, full name Pierre Toussaint Frederic Mialhe, was a French painter and draftsman.
He arrived in Cuba in 1838 under contract with the Real Sociedad Patriótica print shop to capture views of the island. Fascinated by the wealth and exoticism surrounding him, Mialhe stayed in Cuba and continued his work, only to return to France in 1854. Mialhe is best known for his series of lithographs, Isla de Cuba, Isla de Cuba Pintoresca, and Viaget Pintoresco on the Island of Cuba. These magnificent albums of lithographs depict the daily life of Cuba and its capital in the mid-nineteenth century.
