1910réf. 235641910. Cuba photograph album depicting encounters between Western visitors and Cuban communities during the early republican period circa 1910s to 1920s when the island occupied an unusual position between formal independence and continuing American political and economic influence. The photographs move between Havana's monumental architecture hotels and waterfront districts and the rural landscapes villages rivers and agricultural communities that remained largely outside the tourist image promoted to foreign visitors. Repeated appearances of the same Western man often accompanied by a woman who appears to be his wife suggest an extended journey through both urban and remote regions of the island during a period when American travelers businessmen and government personnel moved through Cuba in growing numbers following the Spanish American War and the establishment of the Cuban Republic. Photo album of 26 silver gelatin photographs mounted on unbound album boards with blue covers boards measuring approximately 9 x 15 inches Cuba circa 1910s to 1920s. The photographs range from 6 x 6.5 to 8 x 9.5 inches. Images show waterfront houses built directly along riverbanks; tropical waterfalls and dense forest landscapes; interior courtyards and hotel spaces with colonnades and tiled floors; Morro Castle and lighthouse overlooking Havana Harbor; panoramic views of Cuban towns set among surrounding mountains; market scenes crowded with vendors women and children; cattle standing in shallow waterways; village gatherings outside rural buildings; and groups of local residents posed alongside visiting Westerners. Several photographs depict women standing in rivers holding broad metal pans possibly associated with washing river labor or mineral collection activities. Other images show children families agricultural workers and river communities while a series of portraits records the principal traveler and his companion at various points throughout the journey. One image depicts a group of local residents and Western visitors posed together in a forested region; another shows villagers gathered near a rural homestead while several photographs focus on transportation livestock and daily work in the countryside. The album belongs to the decades following Cuba's transition from Spanish colony to nominally independent republic a period shaped by the Platt Amendment American investment expanding tourism and intensive foreign interest in the island's economic resources and landscapes. Rather than concentrating exclusively on Havana's civic monuments and colonial architecture the photographer devoted substantial attention to rural communities Afro Cuban and mixed-race populations river labor village life and frontier environments seldom emphasized in commercial tourist imagery of the period. The contrast between hotels government-era landmarks village settlements cattle crossings market scenes and encounters with local residents documents the unequal worlds that coexisted within early twentieth century Cuba as foreign visitors moved between urban centers and agricultural regions. Light surface wear occasional toning minor album mounting wear and scattered edge wear to several boards; overall very good condition. A concentrated visual record of how Westerners experienced and represented Cuba's rural communities laboring populations landscapes and colonial-era urban centers during the first decades of the Cuban Republic. unknown books

FIRST EDITION AND A COPY WITH PLEASING PROVENANCE. The book embodies the experience gathered during a visit to Cuba and is rich with facts and memoranda collected from other scholars and works on Cuba and West Indian subjects. Cerain chapters on Columbus and on the West Indian Manuscripts in the Colonial Exhibition have been included as an Appendix. Davey's description of the youth of Columbus had in his view never been attempted in English prior to his own writing. It is founded on oriignal and authentic documents discovered in the Genoese Archives. Sir Thomas Hesketh 1881 – 1944 was a British peer soldier and Conservative Member of Parliament. He achieved the ranks of 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards Captain in the Lancashire Hussars Yeomanry and Honorary Major in the Territorial Army and also served as a Justice of the Peace for Lancashire and for Northamptonshire. Hesketh sat briefly as a Member of Parliament for Enfield from 1922 to 1923 and was later High Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1932. He succeeded his father as eighth Baronet of Rufford in 1924 and in 1935 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Hesketh of Hesketh in the County Palatine of Lancaster.
