Summary/Abstract |
WHEN IN CUBA, we were looking around the Havana City Museum when a big old portrait caught our attention. At the bottom of the painting was this inscription characteristic of the Cuban portrait painter Juan del Rio: El Señior Don Ignaio Montalvo de Ambulodi Conde de Casa Montalvo, Gentil Hombre de Cámara de Su Majestad con entrada de Brigadier de los Reaies Ejércitos. Coronel de Regimento de Dragones de Matanzas, Caballero en Orden de Santo, ... Socio numerario de la Real Sociedad Economica (Brigadier of the Royal Spanish Armies, Colonel of the Dragoons Regiment in Matanzas, Prior of the Real Consulado in Habana, Gentleman of the His Majesty's Chamber, Member of the Sociedad de Amigos del País, and Knight of the Order of Santiago, founder of La Real Sociedad Económica).
