EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Vives and Cristina Avenues in Havana, Cuba, circa 1908. The image transports us to an era of horse-drawn carriages and overhead electric wires crisscrossing the sky. The bustling streets are filled with a vibrant mix of people and activity. In the foreground, a tram makes its way down the cobblestone road, its tracks lined with telegraph poles and telephone lines. The Calzado de Cuba sign, a popular Cuban shoe brand at the time, can be seen on the left side of the street. The intricate details of the Cuban street furniture add to the rich historical context of the scene. The avenues, named Vives and Cristina, are adorned with lush greenery and tall, ornate buildings. The overhead electric wires and tramlines are a testament to the city's modernization during this period. The image offers a glimpse into the unique blend of history and progress that characterized Havana during the early 20th century. This photograph is a treasure trove of details, from the intricate patterns on the tram to the various advertisements and signs that line the streets. It is a reminder of the past and the evolution of transportation and communication technologies. The image is a must-have for anyone interested in Cuban history, urban development, or the history of transportation.
