EDITORS COMMENTS
Travel Views of Cuba and Guatemala, captured by Arnold Genthe between 1899 and 1926, offer a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural and architectural landscapes of these two Central American countries during the early 20th century. This collection of photographs, now housed in the Library of Congress, showcases a range of scenes from urban centers to rural areas, providing a window into the daily life and unique character of each location. In Cuba, Genthe documented the vibrant cities of Havana and Santiago de Cuba, capturing the ornate architecture of their colonial-era buildings, with their red-tiled roofs and intricate brick facades. The photographer also explored the countryside, where mud-brick houses with thatched roofs stood proudly amidst lush greenery, and oxen-drawn carts traversed the winding roads. Meanwhile, in Guatemala, Genthe captured the essence of the region's diverse landscapes, from the rugged terrain of the highlands to the tropical beauty of the coast. His images of mud-brick houses with thatched roofs and adobe buildings, set against the backdrop of volcanic peaks and verdant hillsides, reveal the deep-rooted heritage and resilient spirit of the Guatemalan people. These captivating photographs, taken using nitrate negatives, transport us back in time, inviting us to explore the unique regionalism of Cuba and Guatemala during the 1900s, a time of great change and transformation in both countries.
