The story behind the collection

Stop Along the Carretera Central, Cuba 1948

This is a gorgeous photograph, taken on a road trip from Havana to Trinidad in 1948. Rich textures and shadows highlight the beautiful landscape along Carretera Central, or Cuba’s first highway across the island, completed in 1931. The halftone, dotted finish in this image — part of the original photograph print — adds a velvety appearance to the layers of tropical vegetation and distant mountains. Even in the paved road seems to have a grittiness within the otherwise smooth, contrasting tones of its surface.

Stories From Our Collectors

Beautiful old photograph with nice watercolor paper. Reminds me of my trip to Cuba in 2017, but this photo shows Trinidad in another time. Great details.

Helen, Naperville

This 1950s Cuba photograph works so well with my mid-century decor. And the image by the beach, with shadows of the woman and round table - just gorgeous.
