EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1899 and 1926 by the renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases two distinct and enchanting travel destinations of the 20th century: Havana, Cuba, and Guatemala. The first image transports us to Havana, Cuba, specifically to the Presidential Palace, also known as the Palace of the Revolution. Designed by Rodolfo Maruri and Paul Belau, the palace was inaugurated in 1920 and is a stunning example of both Baroque and Neoclassical architectural styles. The palace's grandeur is evident in its intricately designed dome, arched windows, and ornate columns, all of which are bathed in the soft light of the black and white nitrate negative. This iconic building, which now serves as a museum, stands as a testament to Cuba's rich history and cultural heritage. The second image takes us to Guatemala, where the beauty of the Central American landscape is on full display. The photograph captures the essence of the region's natural splendor, with lush greenery, rolling hills, and vibrant colors. The image is a reminder of the captivating allure of travel during the 1900s, a time when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of the human spirit. Arnold Genthe's Travel views of Cuba and Guatemala, between 1899 and 1926, is a rare and valuable collection of images that offer a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the world was still a vast and mysterious place. These photographs are not only a testament to Genthe's artistic vision but also to the enduring beauty and allure of these two remarkable destinations.
