The diary recounts Benson’s experience on an organized cruise group visit to Caribbean locations such as St. Thomas Puerto Rico Kingston Jamaica Caracas Venezuela Panama City Panama Port of Spain Trinidad and Martinique. Benson records his experiences in each location including his impressions of the town the locals sights he visited and local travel. He visited forts a school churches a mill a sugar plantation and Carnival celebrations. Benson took his tour during the era of colonial rule the attitudes of which infuse both his experiences and observations. Based on his mention of an earthquake in Kingston Jamaica taking place a year or two before he travelled in 1908 or 1909. “…St. Thomas where we arrived about 6 A.M. mid morning Jan 26 is one of the Virgin group and we found her framed and frescoed in the principal churches.

1928219181928. Puerto Rico during the early 20th century photo archive including the 1928 hurricane and colonial era life. Archive contains 3 silver gelatin photos with 2 photos being on one sheet. Each measure 8.5" x 11" to 5" x 9". One press photograph features two stacked photojournalistic images showing scenes of destruction in San Juan following the catastrophic hurricane of September 13 1928 one of the most devastating natural disasters to hit the island. The other photograph likely taken in the late 1910s is a mounted studio or missionary-style image depicting a white man standing in front of a long arched tenement-style structure surrounded by dozens of Puerto Rican women men and children many of the children barefoot and wearing minimal or tattered clothing. The larger image appears staged or observational and likely documents poverty in the aftermath of the U.S. acquisition of Puerto Rico following the Spanish-American War. The 1928 hurricane later named the San Felipe Segundo hurricane made landfall as a Category 5 storm killing over 300 people and rendering tens of thousands homeless. The press release photo captures the stark aftermath: corrugated roofs torn from buildings telephone poles shattered and citizens-both children and laborers-wandering through the wreckage-strewn streets of San Juan. These images reflect not only the physical devastation of the hurricane but also the lack of infrastructural resilience in a colony still reeling from U.S. economic control widespread poverty and racialized neglect by the mainland. The second image provides an unvarnished glimpse into the social realities of Puerto Rican life under U.S. rule during the 1910s. After the Foraker Act of 1900 and the Jones Act of 1917 which made Puerto Ricans U.S. citizens without granting them full constitutional rights the island experienced increasing political disenfranchisement and economic dependency. The presence of the white man-possibly a government official missionary or educator-visually underscores the racial and colonial dynamics at play. The surrounding community members including many children without shoes or shirts reflect systemic inequality and the enduring impacts of U.S. colonial policy on public health housing and education. Some edge wear tape on margins of smaller image and original editor's markings en verso to press photo. Overall very good condition. unknown

1890208021890. Unidentified photographers two albumen photographs of Black laborers circa 1890s to early 1900s document agricultural and skilled work performed by African Americans in the decades following emancipation when systems of sharecropping and tenant farming structured rural economies across the American South and parts of the Caribbean. These images provide visual evidence of labor organization racial hierarchy and economic dependency that persisted after the formal end of slavery with large groups of Black workers shown in relation to white overseers or employers. One photograph presents approximately forty five Black men gathered around three centrally seated white men emphasizing supervisory roles and social stratification within plantation labor systems. The clothing of the workers including cotton shirts loose trousers and wide brimmed hats reflects adaptation to agricultural work in hot climates while a smaller number of individuals in jackets and pocket watches suggests internal distinctions within Black labor communities. The second image depicts six Black carpenters engaged in coordinated manual work at an outdoor shop indicating the presence of skilled trades alongside agricultural labor.<br /> <br /> Group of two albumen photographs mounted on original cardstock measuring approximately 8 x 9.5 inches and 10 x 12 inches. The larger photograph shows an outdoor woodworking scene with six men using tools including a hammer and saw working under a thatched structure suggestive of southern or Caribbean environments. The second photograph shows a large assembled group of plantation workers with three white men seated at center. Faint pencil annotations appear in the margins of one mount. Both photographs retain strong compositional clarity with figures arranged to emphasize both collective labor and hierarchical relationships.<br /> <br /> These photographs contribute to the study of post emancipation Black life by documenting how agricultural dependency and limited access to capital shaped labor conditions into the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The plantation scene illustrates the persistence of racially stratified labor organization while the carpentry image provides evidence of skilled Black tradesmen operating within local economies often without institutional support or pathways to independent enterprise. The visual contrast between collective field labor and artisanal work expands the interpretive scope of the archive situating these images within broader histories of labor race and economic transition following the end of slavery. Edge wear and minor chipping to mounts with noticeable foxing to one image primarily at the margins; images remain legible and structurally intact. Overall good condition. unknown
