La Carretera Central de Cuba es la principal vía de transporte automotor de la isla. Fue construida entre 1927 y 1931 bajo el gobierno del presidente Gerardo Machado. Con una longitud total de 1139 km en 1931 la carretera está dividida en dos ramas a partir de La Habana: una hacia oriente y otra a occidente. El kilómetro 0 se encuentra en el Capitolio de La Habana. En el momento de su construcción enlazaba las 6 capitales provinciales: >Pinar del Río La Habana Matanzas Santa Clara >Camagüey y Santiago de Cuba actualmente enlaza 14 de las 15 provincias del país con la sola excepción de Cienfuegos. Gerardo Machado y Morales Camajuaní Las Villas 28 de septiembre de 1869-Miami Beach Florida 29 de marzo de 1939 fue un militar y >político cubano que fungió como general a favor de su país en la guerra de independencia contra España y fue el quinto presidente de la >República de Cuba 1925-1933. Machado ingresó a la presidencia con una amplia popularidad y apoyo de los principales partidos políticos. Cabe destacar que durante su administración se realizaron obras que perduran hasta el día de hoy: el Capitolio de La Habana y la Carretera Central. Aquellas obras públicas y otras "menores" caracterizaron su gestión dado que puso énfasis en la impulsión de ellas para absorber el desempleo que entonces azotaba a la isla tras el hundimiento de los precios del azúcar en 1921. Sin embargo su apoyo disminuyó con el tiempo puesto que reformó la Constitución de 1901 para perpetuarse en el poder. A medida que las protestas y rebeliones se volvían más estridentes debido al impacto del crac del 29 en Cuba su administración redujo la libertad de expresión y recrudeció la represión cosa que significó por parte de su mandato la lenta transición a una dictadura. Finalmente en 1933 fue obligado a dimitir a favor de un Gobierno provisional encabezado por Carlos Manuel de Céspedes y Quesada hijo de su homónimo padre a quien se considera padre de la patria y mediado por el embajador estadounidense Sumner Welles secretaria de obras publicas hardcover
1836réf. 231491836. Diario Constitucional de Santiago de Cuba No. 57 November 1836 just months after the restoration of Spain's liberal Constitution of 1812. This newspaper records the transmission of Spanish constitutional government into eastern Cuba in late 1836 through decrees ministerial correspondence and public political dispute printed for circulation in Santiago de Cuba. Issued weeks after the political upheavals that restored constitutional rule in Spain this number shows how the language of the regency government the suppression and reorganization of state bodies and local declarations of loyalty to Isabel II reached colonial readers through the newspaper press. In a Cuban setting where metropolitan policy was filtered through governors ministries and municipal elites an issue such as this preserves the working connection between imperial administration and provincial print. Diario Constitucional de Santiago de Cuba. No. 57. Santiago de Cuba 27 November 1836. 4 pages. Folio newspaper issue. The masthead reads "DIARIO CONSTITUCIONAL / DE SANTIAGO DE CUBA" with the date line "DOMINGO 27 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 1836." Page 1 opens with "MINISTERIO DE LA GOBERNACION DEL REINO" followed by a circular and a substantial "EXPOSICION A LA REINA GOBERNADORA" leading into a "REAL DECRETO" concerning the suppression of the Consejo Real de España e Indias. Interior pages continue the decree and carry translatedly legible sections including "MISCELANEA" notices on "Las islas turcas libres" and "Noticias sobre Tejas" and a long exchange under "REMITIDOS" dated "Cuba 25 de Noviembre de 1836" addressing militia service volunteers of Isabel II and the political insult attributed to an earlier subscriber. The issue survives as a complete four page folio with dense double column text throughout and no wrappers as issued. Printed in Santiago the issue shows constitutional and monarchist language being adapted for a colonial audience that was expected to follow ministry decrees military loyalty and debates over public honor in the same sheet. Folded as issued with minor edge chipping small losses at corners and margins some toning and closed tears and pinholes; complete and legible. Overall good condition. The juxtaposition of metropolitan government text Caribbean and Atlantic news and the local controversy printed in "Remitidos" gives the number a documentary range broader than a routine official gazette placing state policy beside the contested language of provincial political life. unknown

1915réf. 224781915. Polk George Washington Jr. Havana and rural Cuba photo archive 1915 documents Cuba through the viewpoint of an American military traveler during the Platt Amendment era when U.S. power shaped Cuban sovereignty port security naval access and commercial movement. The photographs record ships in Havana Harbor coastal fortifications rural dwellings Cuban farmers agricultural landscapes and colonial plazas providing insight into how U.S. military personnel visually encountered Cuba just before American entry into World War I. The Platt Amendment gave the United States broad authority to intervene in Cuban affairs and required Cuba to lease land for naval stations remaining central to U.S.-Cuba relations until its repeal in 1934; this archive therefore places vernacular travel photography within a larger framework of military oversight and commercial access. Polk George Washington Jr. Havana Cuba vernacular photo collection. Havana Cuba: unpublished December 1915. Twenty-eight silver gelatin photographs pasted to album pages with some loose or partially detached ranging from approximately 2 x 2½ inches to 4½ x 3½ inches many with handwritten ink annotations dated December 22 to 29 1915. The images include vessels anchored in Havana Harbor harbor views from on board ship Morro Castle and other coastal fortification views colonial civic plazas local laborers and civilians thatched rural huts or bohíos sugarcane fields and agricultural scenes captioned "Orange Trees & Coconut Palms Near Havana." One photograph is captioned "Cuban Farmer & Son Near Havana Dec 22 1915" giving the archive direct documentary value for rural family life and American observation of Cuban agricultural communities. Other captions identify boats as "U.S.C. 5th Protectors off Havana" and refer to the United Fruit Company steamer Abangarez on the Havana-Colon route; the Abangarez was a United Fruit Company passenger and cargo vessel completed in 1909 and later brought under United States registry during World War I. The photographs combine military commercial and rural subjects in a compact record of U.S.-Cuban contact. Polk's annotations and the repeated Potchernick-Birdsong Co. Kodak Place San Antonio Texas stamps on versos indicate that the images were developed in the United States after the trip or sent home for processing preserving the path by which overseas military travel became a personal photographic record. Polk's later military service is supported by burial and veterans' records identifying George Washington Polk Jr. as born May 13 1889 died July 27 1976 and buried at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery; the supplied description identifies him as later a Colonel in the U.S. Army Air Corps and instructor in the early U.S. Air Force. Most photographs lightly pasted along one edge to scrapbook leaves with some detached or partially affixed; a few corner creases otherwise sharp images with strong contrast good to very good overall. Focused 1915 Cuba archive linking Havana Harbor rural Cuban labor vernacular architecture United Fruit maritime movement and American military observation during the U.S. protectorate period. unknown
