This is a very fine medium-sized horn measuring about 8” long commemorating the embarkation of the British troops from Havana at the end of the Seven Years’ War when the British restored Havana to Spanish control after the 11-month occupation in exchange for Florida. The horn exhibits a wonderful rich and honest patina throughout and showing some scattered light handling marks, minor hairline crack at the spout end and a few shallow chips along the edges of the bottom that are unobtrusive. The horn itself features the expected folky carving in near full coverage with an extensive map of the city and numbered legend for the various important buildings and sights as well as a harbor scene depicting the HMS Cambridge among other British ships. The horn is also marked “THE CITY OF HAVANA ILUMINATED / IMBARKATION OF THE BRITISH TROOPS JULY 12, 1763”. Interestingly, the scene labeled number “13” on the legend “Ships sunk in the harbor” has been deliberately removed, the area ground down slightly. The wooden bottom plug shows a few faded scribblings and a larger marking in black ink that appears to say “NEWHALL”, perhaps the name of the horn’s original owner. This is a wonderful powder horn, totally honest and in lovely condition, suitable for any fine antiques collection. (13D11489-3) (4000/6000)
