EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into the lush oasis of Havana's botanical gardens, where nature's beauty intertwines with human presence. This photo print, captured around 1903 by Underwood & Underwood, transports us to an enchanting avenue flanked by majestic palm trees. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to the towering palms that line the path. Their verdant fronds reach towards the sky, creating a natural canopy that filters sunlight and casts dappled shadows on the ground below. The sheer height and density of these palms evoke a sense of awe and tranquility. Amidst this idyllic scene stands a black man and a child, their figures adding depth and humanity to the composition. Their presence reminds us of the diverse tapestry of people who have walked these very grounds throughout history. They represent not only themselves but also African Americans as part of negroid populations – an anthropological glimpse into Cuba's rich cultural heritage. This photograph captures more than just botanical elements; it encapsulates typologies for landscapes and architecture alike. It serves as a testament to both nature's grandeur and mankind's ability to create harmonious spaces within it. The datePhoto indicates that this image was taken over a century ago, yet its allure remains timeless. It invites us to imagine ourselves strolling along this picturesque avenue in one of Havana’s most treasured green spaces—a sanctuary where botany reigns supreme. Let this remarkable print transport you back in time while celebrating both natural wonders and cultural diversity—a true masterpiece from Alinari’s collection.
