About This Item
Havana, Cuba: Cuban Tourist Commission, 1949. Very Good. Created by Artist Rogelio L. Mirabal.
Folded map with bird's eye views measuring 4.5 by 7.5 when closed; opening to 27.5 by 22 inches.
No flaws but even age-toning and a spot on the title page.
We found no copies located in institutions via OCLC/WorldCat searches. A handsome pre-revolution view of Havana during Havana's tourist boom. Cuba and the United States shared a remarkably close relationship in the period preceding Fidel Castro's ascent to power in 1959, Their economies were deeply interlinked, mainly through the presence of U.S. corporations.
Notably, influential Americans such as Ernest Hemingway regarded Cuba as an idyllic haven, characterized by abundant libations and captivating women.
This map vividly captures that harmonious era, prominently displaying iconic spots like the Tropicana night club and Trocadero Distillery.
It also features profile views of key buildings in the Cuban capital, lending the city an air of sophistication with its stadiums, parks, historical landmarks, airports, and racetracks.
A convenient index on the right guides readers to various points of interest, including government edifices, clubs, hospitals, and hotels. Among these notable places is the Hotel Nacional, situated along the northern coast of the city, infamous for hosting the historic Havana Conference between Cosa Nostra and the Mafia in 1946.
