EDITORS COMMENTS
Estrada Palma Street, Santiago de Cuba, Cuba (circa 1914): A glimpse into the past of this vibrant Cuban city, this photograph captures the charm and character of Estrada Palma Street in Santiago de Cuba during the 1910s. The narrow, sloping road, paved with cobblestones, winds its way up the hillside, lined with colorful buildings adorned with balconies, sunblinds, and ornate domes. The street's name pays homage to Tomas Estrada Palma, the first president of Cuba, and the importance of his legacy is reflected in the proud display of his name on the signs of several buildings. The sun casts a warm glow on the scene, highlighting the intricate details of the architecture and the daily life of its residents. A barber shop can be seen on the left side of the street, with a barber in uniform attending to a customer. The barber's pole, a common sight on the streets of Cuba, adds a touch of color and character to the scene. The peaceful scene is filled with the sounds of bustling activity, as pedestrians go about their daily business, making their way up the slope of Estrada Palma Street. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the early 20th century and the rich history of Santiago de Cuba, the Pearl of the Oriente. The buildings, with their ornate details and intricate designs, stand as a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage and the resilience of its people.
