EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Old Havana, Cuba, circa 1920. Calle Cuarteles comes alive in this typical street scene, showcasing the vibrant essence of a bygone era. The buildings and houses lining the road exude charm and character, painted in an array of colors that bring life to every corner. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported to a quiet lane where time seems to stand still. The image captures the spirit of a Cuban country on the cusp of change, with its Caribbean flair evident in every detail. The architecture reflects both Spanish colonial influences and local craftsmanship unique to Cuba's West Indies heritage. A solitary car parked at the street corner hints at modernity creeping into this century-old location. Preserved within this print is not just a physical representation but also a concept—a testament to resilience and endurance amidst shifting times. It serves as a reminder that even as decades pass, certain aspects remain constant—the allure of Old Havana's cobblestone streets and its undeniable charm continue to captivate visitors from around the world. As we admire this photograph today, it allows us to appreciate how much has changed while honoring what remains unchanged—an ode to history frozen in time for all generations through Heritage Images' collection.
