EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard from 1904 captures the essence of Havana, Cuba with its depiction of the iconic Bread Man. The image showcases a street vendor skillfully balancing a large basket filled with freshly baked bread on his head as he confidently walks along a bustling road. His striking facial hair and distinguished mustache add to his charismatic presence, while his eye contact with the viewer creates an immediate connection. The photograph beautifully portrays the rich cultural heritage of this Caribbean nation, where food plays an integral role in daily life. The Bread Man represents one of many occupations that sustained the people of Havana during that time. As we admire this antique print, we are transported back in time to witness the vibrant streets filled with merchants like him, offering their goods to passersby. The composition is enhanced by shadows cast by nearby buildings and a classic car parked in the background, further emphasizing its historical significance. This postcard is not only a visual delight but also serves as an important artifact showcasing Cuban culture and traditions. As part of Universal Images Group's collection located at Lake County Museum, this color lithograph was produced by Detroit Photographic Company using offset lithography techniques. It belongs to a series capturing various aspects of life in North America and Latin America during that era
