The Isle of Pines. Promotional Photo Album

1913List3218Brooklyn New York: The Albertype Co 1913. Photo album of twenty-five 12 Â½ x 10 inch pages containing fifty 8 x 6 inch photographs with cardstock cover. Cover and pages worn with marginal damage; pages mostly detached from string binding; photos with captions on negative; Near Fine with Fine contrast. Overall excellent to Near Fine. After the Spanish American War the Isle of Pines now Isla de Juventud in Cuba was contested territory because the 1901 Platt Amendment had specifically left ownership of the island up to a future treaty; the 1904 Hay-Quesada Treaty recognizing Cuban sovereignty over the island failed to be ratified by the US until 1925. American citizens controlled ninety-five per cent or more of the islandâ€™s land and were strongly in favor of American annexation. Offered here is a 1913 photo album exhibiting the islandâ€™s lush scenery productive farmland and luxurious American residences and resorts. The American property owners are identified by name and include American Residents and Property Ownersâ€™ Association President T.J. Keenan who in 1902 described the island under default administration by the Cuban government as â€œon the verge of anarchy . American interests are absolutely unprotectedâ€1; H.A. Christy Vice President of the Cincinnati Richmond & Muncie Railroad; coal and coke businessman John F. Atcheson and other elites. There are also shots of a number of hotels; grapefruit banana and pineapple farms belonging to the settlers; and recreation by both automobile and boat. Two photographs are not of American ventures: one of the home of JosÃ© Sarda which housed JosÃ© MartÃ before his exile to Spain labeled merely â€œNueva Gerona Sarda Homsteadâ€; and one of a house labeled â€œSan Juan Native Homesteadâ€ showing a family standing on the porch of their thatched-roof home with an oxcart before them. We find four copies of this photo book on OCLC. Of interest to historians of US imperialism in Cuba following the military withdrawal. 1 â€œThe Isle of Pines President Orders Investigation of Affairs Thereâ€ The Press-Herald November 15 1902 2.
