EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cuban volanta, c. 1904" takes us back in time to the enchanting streets of Havana, Cuba. The image showcases a traditional Cuban carriage known as a volanta, elegantly parked in front of the Palacio del Gobierno with the Camara de Representantes visible in the background. The scene is bustling with life as men and boys gather around the carriage, perhaps discussing their day or simply enjoying each other's company. A young girl stands near them, her curious gaze fixed on something beyond our view. The leisurely atmosphere is enhanced by towering palm trees swaying gently in the warm Caribbean breeze. The colonial architecture surrounding this lively plaza adds an air of history and charm to the composition. It serves as a reminder of Cuba's rich cultural heritage and its status as one of the vibrant jewels of Latin America. Through this photograph captured by an American photographer from the 20th century, we are transported to a different era - one where horse-drawn carriages were a common sight on Havana's streets. This print allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance within Latin American culture. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece that encapsulates not only Cuba's past but also its unique blend of West Indian influences.
