Barquitos del San Juan: Revista de los niños, año V, número 10
Notes: 10 leaves. 10-1/2 by 8-1/2 (oblong), trimed into an eight-sided shape. Edition of 200 copies.
Mimeographed on low quality paper and papel de estraza (made from sugar cane waste), with handcolored illustrations; the cover is decorated with crepe paper and a cord made from shredded cloth. With a pergaminito (small, folded broadside) about kites and countries. Designed and illustrated by Mayra Alpízar.
This is perhaps the scarcest of the Barquitos del San Juan due to its exceedingly fragile construction.
Edition + Condition: Very good with a waterstain on the blank inside front cover. Crepe paper border worn and faded.
Publication: Matanzas, Cuba: Ediciones Vigía, 1994.
