Description of the Chiquita Exhibit from the Official Catalogue and Guidebook to the Pan-American Exposition:
The next building south of the Animal Show is the home of Chiquita.
This sprightly little midget was born on the Island of Cuba, a
little over 31 years ago. Her height is but twenty-six inches,
though she is proportionately developed and possesses a remarkably
beautiful face. Her parlors, in which she receives visitors, are
daintily furnished in keeping with the diminutive proportions of
the mistress, who is a fluent conversationalist in seven
different languages and, therefore, a most interesting hostess.
