Soldiers of the East Bank of the Plata

Paolistas, soldiers of the east bank of the Plata.

Hand-colored aquatint showing two men in makeshift uniforms talking together, one on horseback equipped with a gun and a feathered hat, the other drinking maté with a straw (bombilla) and carrying a sword. The author describes these soldiers as follows: The protracted war maintained by these soldiers against both the Portuguese and the troops of the Buenos Ayres Union, renders them objects of interest. They are, in fact, nothing more than gauchos in another dress, and scarcely more formidable for having added to the knife, lazo, and balls, the auxiliaries of carbine and sabre. These two last are generally carried under the seat across the saddle, as represented in the engraving. Thus armed, living habitually in the open air, sleeping with their horses, requiring no food but beef, for which they drive the living animals before them, leaving a desert to their enemies, these soldiers carry on a desultory warfare, flying before their opponents, and renewing the attack when least expected. Incapable of acting together in numbers, they never present a head to their enemy, whom they nevertheless keep constantly on the alert, and tease and harass, be his force what it may. In short, they may not unaptly be denominated the Cossacks of America. … These soldiers are represented at the door of a pulperia at Monte Video. One of them is taking matte.

This view is complemented by the following words: The church of San Domingo, with its dependent monastery, occupies a whole quadra, one hundred and fifty yards square, and is an object of curiosity, as the place where the British General Craufurd was cooped up, and obliged to surrender, on occasion of the disastrous attempt to recover the city made on the unfortunate 5th of July, 1807; … The church of San Domingo is in a state of dilapidation, and has nothing within worthy of note besides the colours and a good organ. … In the foreground are exhibited the varieties of church and street costume.

Milk Boys

Milk boys.

Hand-colored aquatint showing two Argentinian milk boys and their horses getting ready to go and deliver milk carried in jars hanging from the saddles. The author describes such Buenos Aires milk boys in the following terms: The city of Buenos Ayres is regularly supplied with milk from the surrounding estantias, or farms, from one to three miles distant. It is brought on horseback in earthen or tin bottles, four and sometimes six of which are carried by each horse in hide pockets, attached to the saddle, and laced up with a piece of thong. The milk-boys may almost be said to be born on horseback, so early are they initiated into their occupation. Most of them are children under ten years of age, so small that they are obliged to climb up their horses by means of one long stirrup, which is used for no other purpose. They sit between the jars, and in that insecure position ride most furiously. When out of the city, they run races one against another; and after they have sold their milk, may often be seen in parties gambling, or chucking rials and quarter-dollars, as among us children do farthings.

Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires

Plaza.

Hand-colored aquatint showing the Plaza de Mayo, with the Cabildo and the pyramid, as pictured through an arch under which three men with horses can be seen carrying various goods. This illustration is described as follows by the author: This view of the Plaza, or great square of Buenos Ayres, is taken from under the centre arch of the Recova, described in the preceding article, which forms the east side of it. On the north are some good private houses, and the cathedral, part of which is seen. The Cabildo, or town-hall, occupies the west side, having also a piazza. On the south is a range of mean low shops, with a broad pavement in front, on which are hucksters’ stalls, with every kind of small European hardware. It was intended to continue the Recova along this side, so as to form a covered way round three sides of the square, but the plan has not been completed for want of funds.

The Marketplace of Buenos Aires

Market place.

Hand-colored aquatint showing the marketplace in Buenos Aires, with a view of the Recova (the meat-market), carts, fish and poultry sellers, passers-by, and buyers walking away with their purchases. The market is described as follows by the author: Between the beef-market and the fort stand the fish-carts. Vegetables and fruit are sold in front of the spirit-houses, and under the south piazza. A double line is formed from the north to the south angle by the dealers in poultry, eggs, &c.; and in the peach season, a range of carts stands between them and the piazza; under which, however, in wet weather, all who have not carts seek a sheltered station. Ladies never go to market; gentlemen sometimes take the trouble; but in general it is left to a servant, or rather a confidential slave. Two of these are seen in the foreground with their provision for the day, of which two articles are remarkable — partridges and armadillos.

Water Cart

Water cart.

Hand-colored aquatint showing a water cart in the area of Buenos Aires. The cart and the cask it carries are pulled by two oxen going down a slope as the driver sits on the rudimentary yoke. Such a cart is described as follows by the author: These carts ply all day, except during the heats of summer, when they work only in the morning and evening, and the whole city is supplied by their means; for the wells, though numerous, produce nothing but bad, brackish water, unfit for culinary purposes: the number of carts is consequently considerable. The cask is commonly a butt or puncheon, which is raised upon wheels eight feet high, to enable the carts to go deep into the water, that it may be procured as clean as possible. The bucket contains about four gallons, and four times this quantity drawn off and deposited by the driver in the yard of the house, where a cask is always kept for the purpose, costs half a rial. The piece of hide which hangs at the tail of the cart, is laid upon the ground to keep the bucket clean, while the latter is filling by means of the hose attached to the back-head of the butt.

Klingert’s Diving Machine

Klingert's diving machine.

Diver equipped with the diving “machine” designed by Karl Heinrich Klingert, an inventor from Breslau. On June 23, 1797, Friedrich Wilhelm Joachim dived into the River Oder wearing Klingert’s apparatus, reached the bottom, and was able to saw through a tree trunk. According to the author, this diving suit was made of tinplate, complemented with a short-sleeve shirt and leather breeches. The eye holes (B) were fitted with glass, and weights hanging at the hips (E) allowed for the diver’s stability underwater. Fresh air came down one pipe and a second one returned the exhaust air, while two containers (D) collected the water which would inevitably find its way inside the pipes. This device could allow a diver to go as deep as 20 or 22 ft (6 or 7 m), and it seems that in the history of diving gear, it was to become little more than a stepping stone for further improvement. The caption reads in the original French: Appareil de Klingert.

Halley’s Diving Bell

Halley's diving bell.

Cross section view of the diving bell designed by Edmond Halley (1656-1742). The bell was made of wood, with the outer side covered with lead. At the top (AB), a strong glass panel was fitted to let the light in. A valve (R) was used to periodically let out stale air. The plaform (GH) where the diver was supposed to stand when working was kept steady with weights. The air could be renewed thanks to barrels of compressed air (E) sent from the surface. The diver walking the seabed (X) illustrates the most experimental part of the device: intended to increase the mobility of the divers and broaden the range of their action, it consisted of a smaller bell made of sheet metal worn as a helmet, and though the author warns about how dangerous this would have been, he doesn’t make it clear it was ever actually used. The caption reads in the original French: Cloche de Halley.
