EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the bustling streets of Calle Emperador and the majestic Cathedral in Havana, Cuba, back in 1904. The scene is filled with vibrant colors and architectural wonders that transport us to a bygone era. The towering bell tower of the cathedral dominates the skyline, showcasing its grandeur and timeless beauty. In this snapshot of history, we see a mix of people going about their daily lives - locals and tourists alike. The streets are alive with activity as carriages pass by, adding an old-world charm to the scene. A prominent clock stands proudly on a nearby building, reminding everyone of the passing time. The advertisement signs scattered throughout hint at a thriving commercial hub where businesses catered to both Cubans and West Indians. This postcard serves as not just a memento but also as evidence of how advertising played an important role even then. The lithographic print showcases impeccable design artistry with its use of linear perspective and one-point perspective techniques. Its color prints bring out every detail beautifully while capturing the essence of urban life in early 20th century Havana. Preserved at Lake County Museum, this piece offers us a glimpse into North American period or style from that era. It reminds us that amidst modernization, there's value in cherishing our heritage and appreciating the architectural marvels that have stood tall for centuries.
