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 books

OTTIME CONDIZIONI, MAI SFOGLIATO, LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, MACCHIETTE/FIORITURE SPARSE; TIMBRO DI BIBLIOTECA ESTINTA IN ANTIPORTA. Dalla quarta di copertina. Dove ci accadrà di incontrare ancora il personaggio-uomo? L’affettuoso incantesimo che, nei romanzi del’Ottocento, ci rendeva cari e familiari i personaggi, sembra finito per sempre. La narrativa contemporanea spesso non sa, o non può, offrirci più di referti clinici, detriti di naufraghi, talismani da supermarket. Essa delude un nostro antico bisogno: quella di conoscere la vita concreta degli altri, il mondo quotidiano della famiglia che, turisti ignoranti e patetici, abbiamo intravisto fuggevolmente intorno a un lume in una casa di campagna, il giro di pensieri dietro i volti che sfioriamo tra la folla di una città.

ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
