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 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.

1920Best.-Nr. 227281920. 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. 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. 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

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."

2019ill., br. "Credo che la fotografia abbia la sua naturale destinazione nella stampa, dove diviene visione definitiva, ed ecco allora il progetto del libro. Non avevo in mente un libro che parlasse di una Cuba stereotipata ma di una visione che ho lasciato decantare per arrivare ad un racconto fatto nel rispetto della verità, senza giudizio o denuncia, il racconto come un viaggio esso stesso. La Cuba frutto della tradizione, dell'embargo, dell'accoglienza e il tempo proprio dell'isola. Ognuno dei progetti che ho fatto miei nella terra della Isla, mi pare paradigmatico di tante altre situazioni in luoghi altri da Cuba. La loro sospensione anche se drammaticamente vera, mi riporta in mente sensazioni riconducibili ai valori su cui si basa la mia vita giovanile." (L'autore)
