Havana, Cuba - The Tiny Guard House (1947) - This evocative photograph captures the historic charm of Havana, Cuba, with a focus on a small, yet significant guard house that once stood watch over the city's harbor. Dated back to 1947, this image transports us back to the 1940s, a time of history that continues to fascinate and intrigue. The guard house, with its pyramid-like roof, sits atop a small hill overlooking the bustling harbor. The tiny structure, barely larger than a shed, is a testament to the military might and strategic importance of Havana's harbor during the 1940s. The guardhouse's cannon, with its ominous balls and cannonballs, serves as a reminder of the defensive measures put in place to protect the city from potential threats. Despite its small size, the guard house is a significant historical landmark that adds to the rich tapestry of Havana's storied past. The photograph's composition, with the guard house framed against the backdrop of the harbor and the city skyline, offers a unique perspective of Havana's history and its role as a major port city. This image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, is a must-have for history buffs, photographers, and anyone with an appreciation for the beauty and intrigue of Havana and its past. The photograph's timeless quality and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring allure of Havana, Cuba.
