A man in a tweed suit, a heavy wool choice for Cuba's tropical climate, sits for the camera in this studio portrait, which suggests how seriously sitters took a formal likeness. Studio portraiture took hold in Havana and other Cuban towns during the nineteenth century, when photographers used painted backdrops, posing chairs and props to present clients as respectable and prosperous. The record does not name the sitter or the studio, but pictures like this one offer a view of how townspeople chose to present themselves to the camera.
