In 1903 the U.S. leased forty-five square miles of land and water at Guantanamo Bay from the newly- independent Cuban government and built the Deer Point Camp to support naval operations in the Caribbean. The American facilities at Guantanamo Bay are in use to this day. The American Photo Company advertised itself as "the best equipped commercial photographers in Cuba." It established a commercial network in Havana that distributed images of Cuba on a worldwide scale. <br> <br> This photo is rare.
