1920227281920. Havana Cuba travel photo album circa 1920s documents an American visitor's encounter with Havana during the interwar years when U.S. tourism commercial presence and Spanish-American War memory shaped how many American travelers interpreted the city. The vernacular photographs record arrival by steamship harbor landmarks civic buildings commercial streets factories boulevards monuments cemeteries and guarded public spaces giving insight into both Havana's urban landscape and the traveler's assumptions about access history and spectacle. The album's references to the USS Maine and Spanish-American War memorials place ordinary sightseeing within a longer history of U.S. intervention in Cuba; the Maine exploded in Havana Harbor on February 15 1898 killing more than 260 sailors and intensifying the crisis that led to war with Spain.<br /> <br /> Approximately 25 sepia-toned silver gelatin photographs each about 3 x 5 inches mounted to black album leaves with detailed handwritten captions in white pencil. The sequence begins aboard the S.S. Kroonland with one caption reading "My first view of Havana from the deck. three miles out at sea in a dark storm" followed by a landing view captioned "where we landed in Havana Cuba." The S.S. Kroonland returned to Panama Pacific Line service in 1923 on a New York to San Francisco route via Havana the Panama Canal and Los Angeles supporting the album's interwar travel context. The photographs then trace Havana's maritime and civic topography: harbor views Morro Castle captioned "Famous during the Spanish-American War" the waterfront in front of the fortress the Court House the President's Palace a "600-year-old church" the Henry Clay Cigar Store Havana's factory district and public boulevards "where all streets have parks in the center." Other images include a cemetery visit captioned "All people in Cuba are laid to rest above the ground" and a restricted-view street or carriage scene captioned "Officer would not let me take picture but when he turned I took it anyway" a revealing note on tourist privilege and unauthorized looking.<br /> <br /> Several images directly record the ways American travelers consumed Havana through imperial memory and Cuban nationalist commemoration. One monument is captioned "This was given by the Cuban people to the American soldiers that fell in the Spanish-American War" while another marks "the spot where the Maine sank at the entrance of the harbor." The album was made after Cuba's formal independence in 1902 and during the long aftermath of the Platt Amendment framework under which the United States retained extensive influence over Cuban affairs and intervened repeatedly in the early twentieth century. Album leaves chipped at edges several with corner losses not affecting images; prints generally sharp with strong contrast and clear annotations very good overall. Socially revealing Havana travel album documenting how a U.S. visitor pictured Cuba through steamship tourism colonial architecture cigar commerce Spanish-American War remembrance and the everyday authority structures of an interwar Caribbean capital. unknown

19105377N.p. 1910. Very good. 11pp. of folio typescript totaling around 3000 words with a handful of manuscript corrections. Old folds minor marginal stains from old paper clips. An anonymously-written typescript promotional and business prospectus touting the Isle of Pines Isla de la Juventud off the southern coast of Cuba in the West Indies. The author writes of the many advantages of the Isle of Pines noting "This interesting little island is situated about 50 miles south of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea" with a population of "well-to-do Americans who own about 95% of the island and are after the other 5%." The author also states that "the laborers are mostly 'Pineros' or Isle of Pines people and are very efficient. They are kind and courteous and seem well pleased with the present situation. They are paid from $1.00 to $1.50 per day according to the grade of work." More of the usual language encouraging emigration to the island follows describing the agriculture climate soil government business environment the "old Spanish cities on the island" and more along with several pages of cost estimates for creating a working ten-acre fruit grove. The anonymous author mentions that he and his partner in Nueva Gerona J.A. Miller bought forty acres in Cuchilla Alta or Santa Ana Estates at $40 per acre from H.R. Leland "the sole representative in the United States." The author states he has given up his profession as an engineer in order to devote his time and energy to building a grapefruit grove and pineapple farm and to get others interested in investing with him "We will organize a Development Company with a Citrus Fruit Expert at its head.". He concludes by reiterating that "the country itself is a delightful place to live.raises a superior quality of fruit" and he is glad he "learned about it in time to enable us to enjoy all the benefits of the 'Great Ground Floor.' unknown
