1890rif. 231711890. Stereoview archive of the post-emancipation Caribbean showing how the islands were marketed to western viewers through plantation labor export agriculture civic spectacle and catastrophe. As a group these photos function not only as an ethnographic travel archive but as evidence of the visual economy that followed slavery. The British West Indies moved through emancipation in 1834 to 1838 the French Caribbean in 1848 Puerto Rico in 1873 and Cuba in 1886 yet plantation production remained central to regional life well into the early twentieth century. These stereoviews preserve a colonial way of seeing in which Black and Afro-Caribbean labor rural discipline and extractive agriculture remained the background condition of "tropical" beauty and commercial modernity. Cuba's sugar economy in particular expanded through the nineteenth century and slavery was not abolished there until 1886 while Weyler's later reconcentration policy during the Cuban War of Independence violently reorganized rural life. Martinique after 1848 likewise shifted into new labor regimes including imported workers from India and China. Archive of 11 stereoview cards late 1890s to early 1900s depicting Cuba Jamaica Martinique Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Most black and white with a few colorized. Each measure 3.5" x 7". All with captions on the margins. "Reconcentrado Farming Scene Province of Havana Cuba" links agricultural production to the brutal displacements of Spain's reconcentration campaign; "Cutting sugar cane Montego Bay Jamaica W.I." records cane labor in a colony where emancipation had not ended plantation dependency; and "Harvesting Coconuts Porto Rico" likewise frames Caribbean land through export work rather than local life. Other views extend that economic framing through cacao and coffee scenes while the paired Havana cards shift into urban leisure and public display including "Beautiful Central Park Havana Cuba" and "Holiday in Havana Cuba" the latter with both Cuban and American flags visible a telling image of the new imperial order after 1898. The disaster views from Martinique and the Lesser Antilles show how stereoview publishers also turned Caribbean destruction into consumable spectacle. the Morne Rouge card is accompanied on the reverse by the grim printed text "Dead bodies which were to be seen in Morne Rouge." while the wider context is the 1902 eruptions of Mount Pelée in Martinique and La Soufrière on Saint Vincent two catastrophes that killed roughly 30000 and 1600 people respectively and devastated local communities and agriculture. Some corner wear light toning scattered surface and edge wear. Overall very good condition. This collection gives direct visual representation of Caribbean history Atlantic slavery and emancipation plantation labor and U.S. imperial expansion in the circum-Caribbean preserving the transition from slavery to post-abolition labor. unknown books

Album leaves brittle several with tears and losses on extremities two large photos with tears and losses on extremities two small photos with losses of one corner each one photo has been apparently previously removed a few photos smildly faded or with mild silvering but overall a very good album of interesting photos. Historically significant album with lively amateur snapshots and original studio photos taken and collected by a family of American tourists during a Caribbean cruise in the early 1910s onboard the steamship “Moltke” of the Hamburg America Line Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Aktien-Gesellschaft or HAPAG. Launched in 1901 S.S. “Moltke” went on regular cruises around the Caribbean and the Mediterranean until it was seized by Italy in 1915 in the course of WW1. Her Caribbean or West Indies cruises departed from New York and included stops in Cuba Puerto Rico Jamaica Panama Canal Venezuela Trinidad Barbados Martinique St. Thomas Dutch West Indies Bermuda & Bahamas. The album opens with several large views and panoramas of Havana harbour and waterfront featuring Castillo del Morro the iconic building of Lonja del Comercio commodities and stock exchange and S.S. “Moltke.” The other photos show Havana streets and passers-by the interior of a Catholic church &c. Over twenty photos are the views of the city and harbour of Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas Island – then the capital of the Danish West Indies since 1917 the U.S. Virgin Islands. The images show the city harbour from the distance and close-up a sign of “St. Thomas Bay & Rum Co.” is seen on one of the photos the statue of King Christian IX erected in the Emancipation Garden in 1909 removed in 2021 streets residential neighbourhoods on sloping hills a local market an official residence with the waving Danish flag garden of a Catholic convent with one of the monks posing alone and with a young tourist &c. Over thirty identified views of Puerto Rico a U.S. colony since 1898 a Commonwealth controlled by the U.S. since 1952 show San Juan: Plaza de Armas with the City Hall completed in 1842 Palacio de la Real Independencia now housing the Department of State of Puerto Rico Castillo San Felipe del Morro in the San Juan Bay Plaza Colon with Christopher Columbus monument San Juan harbour city streets and shops building of the “Hotel y Banos” a passenger train with the travellers walking at the front native cart drivers passers-by &c. A large group of photos ca. sixty depict the French Island of Martinique with a series of views of Fort-de-France: statues of Empress Josephine erected in 1859 destroyed in 2020 and Victor Schloelcher erected in 1904 removed in 2020 St. Louis Cathedral with the spire still under construction city streets and harbour “Hotel de l’Europe” distinctive cliffs on the coast near Fort-de-France &c. The views of Martinique include over twenty images of the ill-fated town of St. Pierre which perished during Mount Pelee’s eruption in May 1902. The photos include one view of St. Pierre before the destruction as well as general views of the ruins and desolation with posing tourists. Several images show the ruins of the Co-Cathedral of Our Lady of Assumption the downtown core with a grid of destroyed buildings and charred trees wrecked ships in the harbour a surviving bridge and the remains of the victims. A couple of images feature the top of Mount Pelee with a distinctive lava spine or the “Needle of Pelee” which was formed in October 1902 and collapsed in March 1903. Among the identified photos of Nassau Bahamas are the views of the famous silk cotton tree St. Matthews Anglican church completed in 1802 and the interior of Fort Charlotte. The other images show sugar cane plantations and native workers Caribbean residences streets and markets ports the American coastal steamer “Colonia” a series of scenes from a street carnival procession portraits of local market goers families diving children &c. Several images portray the tourists on board the S.S. Moltke including a group portrait with a lifebuoy of “Moltke Hamburg”. Overall a historically significant visual source on the history of American tourism to the Caribbean in the early 20th century with interesting views of the aftermath of the destruction of St. Pierre by the volcanic eruption. hardcover
