The title points to Cay Coll Cuchi, a small cay, or key, off the coast of Cuba, though the record notes that the name comes from unverified data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve. The picture dates from about 1922, the period when the company was producing large runs of views of American and Caribbean places for sale to tourists and publishers. Its glass negative carries streaks and blemishes from the gradual breakdown of the original coatings, and those marks are part of what the plate shows about its age. The negative came to the Library of Congress as a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French.
