Habana - Calle San Rafael, c1910s - A Glimpse into Havana's Bustling Shopping District
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print of Habana's vibrant Calle San Rafael captured in the early 1910s. This hand-coloured postcard offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling commercial heart of Cuba's capital city, Havana. The scene unfolds on this iconic avenue, lined with an array of charming buildings and shops that catered to the needs and desires of locals and visitors alike. On the left side stands a silk merchant store, showcasing its luxurious fabrics through its open doorway. To the right, we see the Florsheim shoe company, exuding elegance and style. As you take in this snapshot from history, notice how awnings and canopies extend over each shopfront along Calle San Rafael. These sun blinds not only shielded pedestrians from Havana's scorching sun but also added a touch of charm to this lively street. The hand-tinted colours bring life to every detail – from the vivid hues adorning each building facade to the vibrant energy radiating from passersby going about their daily activities. It is as if time has stood still within these frames. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Havana's rich heritage as a thriving hub for commerce and industry during the early 20th century. Let it transport you back in time while marveling at the architectural beauty that once graced Calle San Rafael
