19164158Havana 1916. Very good. Broadside printed on light orange silk approximately 16.25 x 9 inches. Minor edge wear one small tear near bottom right. A seemingly unrecorded silk broadside issued by the Cuba-American Jockey Club Company advertising the lineup of horses and the schedule for a series of five races during Dia de las Damas "Ladies Day" at the Oriental Park racetrack in Marianao Havana in 1916. In addition the top of the broadside is printed with small oval- and diamond-shaped portraits picturing the nine officers of the club who are identified by name and their position within the club. Below these portraits is a listing of fourteen officers of the club. The Oriental Park Racetrack "Parque Oriental" opened in 1915 for winter racing which began in November and lasted into March each year. The racetrack was the only thoroughbred track in Cuba until Fidel Castro practically shut it down after the Cuban Revolution in 1959. The present broadside is a visual reminder of the influx of American business interests in Cuba in the early 20th century. No copies reported in OCLC. unknown

1906List3021La Habana Province Republic of Cuba 1906. Twenty-two photographs measuring 7 ¼ x 9 ½ inches mounted on heavy cardstock measuring 10 x 12 inches. Photos numbered and dated on negative. In album embossed with “Havana Central Railroad Co./ Progress Photographs/ GUANAJAYâ€. Photos with fine contrast and some wear; mounts with minor damage slightly warped with some detached from binding. Overall excellent. Havana Central Railroad Company was an American company formed in April 1905. It opened two electric tram lines—Havana to Guanajay in 1906 and Havana to Güines in 1907—before it was bought by the English company United Railways following the Panic of 1907. Offered here is a photo album showing the construction of the Guanajay line. The photographs show laborers assisted by horse-drawn carts digging culverts laying tracks and erecting bridges and buildings.<br /> <br /> This project came on the heels of the successful efforts of the Cuba Company another railroad company to make the emerging Cuban Republic amenable to American business.They did so first by using ‘revocable permits’ which could ostensibly be revoked by the new government when it was formed to circumvent the Foraker Amendment prohibiting concessions to American companies by the US’s military government; and second by using their close relationships to several members of the Cuban Constitutional Convention to include a law allowing irrevocable permits.1 These along with the Platt Amendment and Governor Leonard Wood’s General Railway Law led to what would amount to domination by US interests in Cuba particularly but not exclusively in the railroad industry.2<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the early Republic of Cuba especially the history of US businesses in the country.<br /> <br /> 1 Juan C.

1920224751920. Cuba Havana landmarks and urban development real photo post card archive ca. 1920s-1940s. 11 color and sepia real photo postcards of iconic civic and cultural architecture in Havana Cuba. Each measure 4" x 6". Many with captions identifying the locations in the negative or en verso with some printed in English and others in Spanish signaling their intended audience of both locals and foreign tourists. A compelling photo archive documenting early 20th-century Havana's architectural and political aspirations this collection showcases prominent landmarks that symbolized Cuba's nationalist identity international cosmopolitanism and American-influenced modernization in the decades between independence from Spain and the Cuban Revolution. The archive includes silver gelatin and printed color views of the National Theatre Cuba's Capitol Building Central Railway Station Gran Casino Nacional National University and the grand gateway of Havana's Colón Cemetery. Other views depict Paseo de Martí one of Havana's most iconic boulevards lined with vintage American cars and flanked by ornate colonial facades and new Art Deco-style hotels evidence of the influx of U.S. capital and tourism during the Batista era. Havana in this period was rapidly transforming into a showcase city of the Caribbean its urban core reflecting both Spanish colonial heritage and American urban planning models. The presence of monumental buildings like El Capitolio constructed between 1926 and 1929 and modeled after the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. points to Cuba's alignment with American political aesthetics and aspirations toward modern statehood. Similarly the University and Gran Casino Nacional represent both the intellectual elite and leisure-class investment that typified pre-revolutionary Cuban society. The mixture of European and U.S. architectural influences ranging from Beaux-Arts to Art Deco speaks to the layered colonial legacy and new economic dependency forged during the Platt Amendment era. Some mild edge wear. One card with a small corner crease others clean. Overall very good condition. This archive captures Havana in the midst of dramatic urban renewal and internationalization before the massive ruptures brought on by the 1959 revolution. unknown
