Rare photographs capturing moment-in-time scenes of vintage Cuba. This original art poster is from our thematic set of Old Havana.
Story Behind the Image
The vintage imagery in this design is a sun-drenched view of early 1900s Cuba: a country road lined by royal palms, their towering trunks half-shaded in the late afternoon light.
It’s a captivating image, and also a sensuous scene.
Just imagine the palm shifting in the tropical winds and the sway of the lone rider on horseback. In these gentle rhythms you can almost feel the story of Cuba through time.
It’s that energy that resonates through Cuba’s beloved music, including in the rhythm called “Son”, the root of all popular Cuban sounds.
This quiet road, described in post cards as a “Royal Palms Avenue”, actually lay just beyond Havana’s urban center.
Within a few decades, the road would be in the heart of Havana’s vibrant Vedado neighborhood.
