El lechero, or milkman, is the figure named in this title, and it places the picture on the streets of Havana rather than on a farm. In many Cuban neighborhoods, milk was sold door to door, and some vendors brought animals through the streets so customers could get milk fresh. Scenes like this show how dairy reached city households before refrigerated delivery became common, and the small, personal trade of the lechero was part of daily life in the city.
